The Bloomsbury Book Club: Winter Reads
Welcome to the Bloomsbury Book Club! Inspired by The Bloomsbury hotel's deep literary ties to the legendary Bloomsbury Set, we've teamed up with our neighbours at the London Review Bookshop to curate the ultimate reading list for 2025. Whether you're curling up by the fire in winter or basking in the summer sun, our handpicked selection of novels offers the perfect companion for every season. Happy reading!
JANUARY
The Ministry of Time, Kaliane Bradley
An Instant Sunday Times and New York Times Bestseller, this novel offers a thought-provoking exploration of time and history, providing a fresh perspective that invites readers to reflect on the past, present and future. With its gripping plot, intriguing characters and a touch of romance, it’s the perfect choice for cosy, escapist reading this winter, making it a must-have addition to your reading list as you step into the new year.
FEBRUARY
Everything I Know About Love, Dolly Alderton
This month is all about love - both the messy, complicated kind and the deeply fulfilling friendships that sustain us. February, with Valentine’s Day and the chill of winter, is the ideal time to curl up with Alderton’s heartfelt, humorous memoir about navigating love, self-discovery and growing up. Her witty writing and relatable reflections on relationships, personal growth and life’s ups and downs make it an engaging and comforting read that will leave you laughing, reflecting and feeling connected to the human experience. Plus, it’s a great reminder of the importance of love in all its forms, whether romantic or platonic.
MARCH
As we celebrate both International Women's Day and Irish Heritage Month here at The Doyle Collection, we highly recommend The Visitor. Brennan’s poignant storytelling explores identity, relationships and the Irish experience, while celebrating the strength and complexity of women’s voices. Her work beautifully blends Irish culture with timeless themes, making it a perfect choice for the occasion.
