Callum (Runcorn)

I'm 24, male. Bit of a loner however I'm happy with that as I hate the idea of being around people you don't want to be around. I love reading, so the next logical step was to find a book club.

Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Buy this book

Zott is the strongest character I've ever read about. What makes her strong is the fact she is proudly smart and in her times, this was unacceptable. She did not give two f*cks tho. She fights a war on prejudice and sexism by just being herself and refusing to accept the "norm".

Nicola Ashbrook (Northwich)

Not sure if this is allowed but I’m an author and my debut novel is perfect for book clubs! As an author with a small, independent press, it’s tricky to connect your book with the right audience so I thought this might be a good forum. I’m also an avid reader and always looking for recommendations.

Nicola Ashbrook recommends:

The Dispensary

by Nicola Ashbrook | Buy this book

With its blend of romance, mystery and a sprinkling of magical realism, this book is a cosy read, perfect for fans of Japanese or Korean literature like Dallergut Dream Department store. With its highly unusual setting ( a mysterious prescription-dispensing facility) and range of discussable issues, it’s well-suited as a book club choice. If you read contemporary fiction like Lessons in Chemistry, anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Celeste Ng or Sarah Winman, you might enjoy The Dispensary.

Pauline (Middlewich)

I’m a 67 year old retiree living alone and looking to expand my social circle. I love reading and my tastes are varied but I do love a good thriller / whodunnit. My most recent reads are The maid (Nita Prosse), The wind / Pinball (Murakami), The bullet that missed (Richard Osman) and I’m just starting on The sun does shine (Anthony Ray Hilton). I like to play scrabble and enjoy cryptic crosswords. I’m looking for a local group because I don’t drive. I’d like to meet up about once a month, I’d love to hear other peoples’ recommendations.

Pauline recommends:

A man called Ove

by Fredrik Backman | Buy this book

This is a short and easy read, but incredibly moving ( I genuinely cried whilst reading it ) . At the beginning Ove appears to be a grumpy interfering old busybody; a thoroughly unlikeable character who is disliked by his neighbours. However, as Backman develops the character and I learned more about his past I developed a great empathy and understanding of this complex character. Backman deals with the themes of loneliness, suicide and death with enormous skill and sensitivity, often with a delicious black humour. Ove’s life is turned around when a new neighbour moves in; a young single mum with a boisterous child; everything that Ove would ordinarily disapprove of, and the development of their relationship is joyously satisfying . In my opinion this book is a little masterpiece. I have recommended/ given a copy to all my family and friends and, without exception, they have all loved it.

Jules (Warrington)

I need to get back into a previous passion. I enjoy strong female characters but happy to broaden my horizons. Also building new friendships would be an added bonus.

Grainne McGovern-Scott (Chester)

I’m a newly Amazon-published author living in Chester. My novel Only the Lonely would make the perfect book club book.

Grainne McGovern-Scott recommends:

Only the Lonely

by Gráinne McGovern-Scott | Buy this book

It’s full of humour, intrigue and emotion. It forces the reader to ponder what they would do in their position. 3 friends retired to a mobile home park overlooking the rugged bay in Trillinick north Cornwall. Life is steady until one of them makes an incredible beach discovery. So the story begins.

Megan (Wilmslow)

Hi I’m Megan! I’m 24 and have recently moved to the Manchester area☺️ I would love to join a book club (preferably one that has some other young adults in it) as I love to read but also would really love to be involved in something where I could make some friends as well as enjoy discussing books together!

Reuben (Altrincham)

Hi my name is Reuben and I am a fun, energetic person looking to make friends and have a good time discussing books of all genres😊

Bec (Hyde)

I have read books for years and love Dorothy Koomson, Frieda McFadden, Lisa Jewell and Coleen hoover to name but a few. I am looking for something new to become a part of and thought I’d try this out

Mauspenguin (Warrington)

Recently moved to Warrington and looking to connect with fellow readers! I mainly read fantasy but open to read any genre apart from horror as I am a certified chicken.

BeBeHC (Holmes Chapel)

I am retired, happily so and my passion is reading. I moved to HC 3 years ago to be with my now hubby, we got married a month ago. Romance is not dead in the oldies ! I have friends all over the UK but would like to meet like minded locals to swap ideas but also maybe become friends. I am not usually a club-joining kind of person, but this appealed to me. I look forward to meeting other friendly book loving locals. Cheers, Marie

Marie (Holmes Chapel)

Let's just say I am a mature but young minded lady. I love reading a gripping story - a thriller or a detective story or a family saga over several generations. I don't have a preferred author, as such, I do like to discover new authors too, but whatever genre, the contents must grip me from page 1.

Molly (Warrington)

I love romantasy and fantasy novels. Looking for people who also share my love of book to connect with and hopefully make some friends along the way!

A court of thorns and roses

by Sarah J Mass | Buy this book

Romance, action. Just a beautiful book.

Jade (Northwich)

I love to read Science fiction and fantasy books aswell as romances. Due to a busy work schedule I havent read as many books as I would of liked to this month. However I am hoping to achieve at least 50 books read this year. My current read is Bridgerton: When he was wicked. Francesca's Story.

Books and Botanics (Warrington)

I love reading fiction books that make me feel something, with characters that feel real, and stories that are unusual. And for light relief not too obviously cheesy romance centred around travel. I also read leadership mindfulness related books. Looking to talk to people who have read the same.
