Our Book Club
About Us
OurBookClub has been created by Natalie and Tracy in homage to their love of books and passion for reading. The aim is to become a one-stop shop for all things book related including - personal (and independent) book reviews, book recommendations, information to help set up and run bookclubs, bookclub discussion questions, book and author prize winners, links to bookcafes, bookclubs, libraries and anything else we can find that is book related. If you like a review, just select one of our affiliated on-line book stores on the left of the page or under each book review and order. Remember that in addition to books, you can order movies, music, toys or anything else you like on their sites. We receive a commission which goes toward helping to keep OurBookClub running.
We both have very different reading styles, however, we do cross-over every now and again and it constantly amazes us at how different our opinions are, it also makes for some great debates over a glass of wine or two. There are several exceptions - Stieg Larsson, Janet Evanovich, Lionel Shriver and Kate Atkinson (check out Our Favourites page for lots of information). Of course if you want to see the differences of our opinions, check out the reviews of the Twilight books and The Time Traveller's Wife.
There is nothing better than standing in the bookstore with arms of books and nothing worse than getting home and being disappointed, so by providing independent book reviews that help each other, we also hope to help others. We are not sponsored and therefore have no allegiances to any commercial operations, so that makes us independent in our thoughts and views, which we acknowledge can sometimes go against the grain. We are also currently testing out eReaders, but they still haven't replaced books in our opinion - they just lack the feelings associated with reading a fantastic book and somehow make the process slightly clinical. However, for travelling, it is going to be fantastic, no more lugging piles of books (I can see my partner smiling at that).
OurBookClub is constantly growing and we want to encourage collaboration and sharing, so please come back and see what changes we are making. If you would like to be kept up to date with all our latest news, you can subscribe to our Monthly Newsletter or if you have any suggestions or books that you would like us to review, please feel free to Contact Us.

Where does OurBookClub get its information? We get our information from previously published sources (books, periodicals, magazines, online sources), book clubs that we personally attend and anything else we find on our search to read everything and anything. Where appropriate we have referenced and provided links to sites that we find interesting and helpful. Obviously in our thirst for knowledge we attempt to be original, but things can slip through the cracks, so if there is anything you find that we have not attributed, contact us. What you can be sure about is that only Natalie and Tracy upload information to OurBookClub which allows us the discretion to choose the books and information we want on the site and we try to include both positive and negative reviews to continue with our main aim of providing independent book reviews, not just promotional blurb from publishers etc.
