Book Review Group - January 2026

Hi all,

Welcome to our January book club for our Australian Author focused book club! We are a friendly group of avid readers that enjoy a variety of books and great conversation, over a meal. New members are welcome, but note that spaces are limited.

The books for Thursday 15 January 2026 are:

Science Fiction
On the Beach by Neil Shute
On the Beach by Nevil Shute | Goodreads

Fantasy
The Etched City by K J Bishop
The Etched City by K.J. Bishop | Goodreads

Urban Fantasy
Ghost Electricity by Sean Cunningham
Ghost Electricity (Hawthorn House, #1) by Sean Cunningham | Goodreads

You don't have to read all the books. However, the more you read, the more robust the conversation will be with multiple people discussing each book. Don't forget to bring along some Sci-fi, Fantasy and Urban Fantasy suggestions for the following meet-up!

If you would like to see all the books (excluding bonus books) that we have read before, click here to have a look. Since there are so many authors out there, we try not to repeat authors, however, I am relaxing this slightly moving forward. If you are new(ish) to the group, check out the back catalogue for some inspiration if you are stuck for something to read.

Numbers are limited. If you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to a NO as a courtesy to the organiser and to let any wait-listed people into the meet-up.

If you have time, stay back for a social catch up with your fellow book club members. Of course, you can go as soon as the book club finishes, but if you have time, then this is a great opportunity to find out all the news and what books people have been reading over the last couple of months.

Happy Reading!!! 🤓😊
