Josh (Dumbarton)

Spend a lot of time reading but don't really have anyone in my life that shares this hobby. Would like the chance to speak to others about the books I am reading.

The women

by Kristen hannah | Learn more and buy

This book is an inspirational story about a nurse who joins to work in the Vietnam war.

I'm Abbie, from Clydebank area, unfortunately there are no book clubs near me that I could find, I would really like to join one just to be able to dicuss reading again with people as my seminars have now finished in university. Also, I don't really have others to talk about reading with. I enjoy mainly all genres of books, but my favourite is horror (psychological horror mostly) but I am willing to read anything.

LiamLovesLit (Dumbarton)

Had a bit of a reading second wind the last few years and would love to share that with some like-minded, passionate folk! Looking to share recommendations, dig a bit deeper and engage with reading in a different way than I'm used to. Particularly interested in any groups with fellow people in their late 20s and early 30s, but not essential. Love a bit of everything, but thrillers with something to say (Birnam Wood being a recent fave) are my cup of tea! Best recent reads have been Project Hail Mary, Hero of Ages and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Isaac and the Egg

by Bobby Palmer | Learn more and buy

My go-to recommendation with a 100% success rate for getting a "never heard of it" response and a subsequent "I loved that". Equal parts surreal and heartwarming, this book was just as adept at getting a chuckle out of me as it was a few tears. Shades of It's A Wonderful Life, Manchester By The Sea and E.T!

Carly (Helensburgh)

Avid reader, open to all genres. Lived in Helensburgh for nearly 3 years now and would love to find local people to create a book club.

Eilidh (Dumbarton)

Not an avid reader but used to run a book club through work and really enjoyed reading to discuss with others. Open to different genres, 29 yrs old living in Dumbarton.

KirbyS (Dumbarton)

Hello ! I have loved reading all my life but keen to join a club/group so we can chat through new books and different genres. Joining a group would also keep me focused .

I’m 39 and mum to a 3yr old boy. I love reading books of all genres, and find getting lost in a story one of my favourite ways to unwind from the stresses of life. I’ve lived in Helensburgh for 5yrs but would love to meet some new like-minded people. Having gone through treatment for breast cancer this year, I’m looking for new activities to help me de-stress!

Kindred

by Octavia E Butler | Learn more and buy

A harrowing and gripping account of a Black woman in 1970s America who finds herself inexplicably time travelling back to the antebellum South. I was completely blown away by the originality of this story, and the way the author expertly explores how the scars of slavery still exist in contemporary America.

Nervous (Dumbarton)

Would love to create/be apart of a like minded group of readers to discuss classics, Sci-Fi (Masterwork prefereable) and Horror.

Nervous recommends:

The White Bishop

by Brandon Perras-Sanchez, Aron Beauregard. | Learn more and buy

Eerie, claustrophobic nautical horror. Can be read in one night and will leave you begging for more pages.

Time Out of Joint

by Philip K. Dick | Learn more and buy

For anyone who likes "The Trueman Show" this masterwork depicts an ordinary surbaurban man who discovers his life is all a lie...

Emma (Dumbarton)

I am 21 years old, and I have just moved from the US. I'm hoping to make some new friends with common interests. I love to read, especially romance, thriller, mystery, or fantasy books, but I also like to mix it up with new genres.

Emma recommends:

The Butcher and the Wren

by Alaina Urquhart | Learn more and buy

I don't normally enjoy dual point of view books like this, but I found the contrast in the characters so interesting!

Sunday (Dumbarton)

Very much a mood reader. I think quite a variety of books. Currently enjoying literary fiction, fantasy, mystery and some light sci fi.

Sunday recommends:

The Remains of the Day

by Kazou Ishigaru | Learn more and buy

Love it.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

I love this whole series! Dragons, enemies to lovers, fighting to the death.. there’s so much to this series and it’s not finished yet. It keeps you on the edge of your seat at points and deaths you don’t see coming. One of my favourite romantasy series.
