Lapwing (Manchester)

Hi, I'm 26, living in Salford. I've recently gotten back into reading more mindfully; now I can't seem to stop, nor do I want to. I enjoy contemporary literary fiction and narrative non-fiction, and I'm looking for inspiration; I have an idea for an auddiodrama that I'd like to populate with words and personalities and characters,

Antonia (Manchester)

Hi! I have recently moved to South Manchester and I’m looking for a weekly/fortnightly book group to meet some new friends. I read a big range of genres and I particularly love 20th and 21st century fiction. Favourite authors at the moment are probably Kazuo Ishiguro, Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter etc but I’m open to whatever!

Joe (Manchester)

I'm Joe, 30s and looking to expand my social circle via reading and sharing thoughts on books. My reading varies in genre, but literary fiction and memoirs are a personal favourite. Other than reading, I like looking after my pets, gardening, and volunteering in the local area.

Aazrin (Manchester)

BookishGirl :) (Manchester)

Hi, I am a female in my late 20s, looking to join a book club with another soul. We are both social creatures and would love to meet new people. Our interests are varied & we would love the social side of a book club as much as the reading and discussion itself :)

Hi! I’m 30 and live just 15 minutes away from Manchester town centre. I’m looking to make some new friends discussing my number one passion: books! I mainly read fantasy, but have recently been expanding out into horrors, thrillers, and sci-fi. Have a wonderful day! :)

Shannon recommends:

The Final Empire

by Brandon Sanderson | Learn more and buy

Every single moment is actin-packed, and every single book in this series has a fantastic twist and heart wrenching moments, the conclusion of this trilogy has really yet to be topped in my eyes! This introduced me to Brandon Sanderson‘s writing and just cemented him as forever fave and immediate auto-buy author for me.

The Forgetting Moon

by Brian Lee Durfee | Learn more and buy

The characters (especially the dog, Beer Mug) are such a wonderful mix of likeable and easily despise-able, the world is vast and well crafted, and the stakes are so high, you have absolutely no clue. What will happen next!

Assassin’s Apprentice

by Robin Hobb | Learn more and buy

Do you want your heart absolutely shattered into a million teeny tiny pieces? If yes, may I introduce you to the amazing Robin Hobb and her poor fictional child; Fitzchivalry Farseer. I love this book so much I submitted my own beaten, loved and annotated copy as part of my Masters dissertation.

Anita (Manchester)

Recently back in the area, and I'd love to find a monthly book club for other bookish folks! Especially 30s/40s, feminist and queer literature and non fiction, ideally somewhere that meets in a pub with readers who want to meet new people!

Deena (Manchester)

Hi I'm Deena, Im 23 and live near Bolton and would love to make some bookish friends or join a book club. I mostly read rom-coms and sometimes fantasy but can be open to other recommendations, there just needs to be banter. I am a worshiper of all academic rivals to lovers books... something about them is just MMMMMH iykyk! I feel it's important to mention that i do boycott certain authors due to their links to zionism or the zionist 'state'. You can read what you want but I won't want to chat about certain books (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing etc.) due to this.

Jorja (Manchester)
