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.

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!

Molly recommends:

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.

Books and Beyond (Chester)

We’re a small group of semi retired and retired ladies. We meet monthly mostly in Neston/Parkgate. We’re looking for new members to join us.

Annette (Ellesmere Port)

Hi, I’m in a book club in Neston. We’re mostly retired or semi retired ladies. We meet monthly and are looking for new members.

Catherine (Alderley Edge)

Looking to explore new books, enjoy lively conversation and discussion, read a lot of data/research for work so my preference is for lighter content!

Mermaid63 (Crewe)

Avid book reader. Retired former nurse. Would love to meet like minded people.

Golden Horde (Macclesfield)

Trying to get back into reading. The damn iPhone is so distracting! Interested in the classic Russians, Greene, and poetry which I also write. Favourite modern writer probably William Boyd. I’m fussy about quality of writing.
