Chloe (Manchester)

Hello! My name is Chloe, I'm 28- I've just spent 6 months living at home after living in London for 4 years and now I'm making the move to Manchester as I just accepted a new job there. This year, I got back into reading and I love it! I've read 32 books so far this year but want to expand the genres I read and would love to connect to like-minded people who also love reading. My current favourite genres would be: thrillers, mythology-based fiction, fantasy and historical fiction but I'm looking to expand this! I would love to join a small, cosy book club in Manchester or in the surrounding areas!

The Forest of Vanishing Stars

by Kristin Harmel | Buy this book

This book is a historical fiction novel based in the Nalibocka forest during World War II and centres on Yona, a woman kidnapped from a German family when she was a toddler and was raised in the forest by an eccentric elderly woman. This was honestly such a nice surprise of a book- it explores themes of love, survival and betrayal.

I would like a new hobby and to meet new people. I love reading and want to get back into it after a turn in my life.

Alex (Ashton-under-Lyne)

I’m 30 years old and live near Ashton. I got back into reading about a year ago and have spent the last 12 months devouring every Romantasy I can buy. I’ve just recently started getting into Dark Romance and just looking to make friends with people who love reading as much as I do

Sam (Manchester)

I've always loved reading since I was a child, namely every genre! I'm 23 now and have become pretty reserved to only reading psychological thrillers now, they're my fave genre. I've given other genres a go but can never seem to get into the story. I'd love to go out and socialise with others via a book club, I really enjoy meeting new people!

Molly (Manchester)

I’m 30 and have just got back into reading after a slump for a few years. Looking for a book club or to meet friends with similar interests. I’ve always been into ancient history and have a degree in Classics. I like sci-fi and post-apocalyptic fiction and now I’m on the romantasy hype!

Eve (Manchester)

Hi, I have just moved to Manchester (Salford) and am looking to connect with new people through reading! I am 24, I studied Art Gallery and Museum Studies, I enjoy crafts, finding new hobbies, meeting new people and, of course, reading! I look forward to connecting and reading with you!

I enjoy reading and would like to meet new people.

Scarlett (Manchester)

I tend to gravitate towards classic European literature and non-fiction (pre-Roman/medieval history, folklore, nature), but I’m interested in reading across a range of genres and learning from others’ interests too. It’d be really nice to bring my reading into a sociable setting and make some new friends over coffee, museum visits or book shopping trips ☺️

Scarlett recommends:

The Outrun

by Amy Liptrot | Buy this book

A simply but beautifully written book about creating a new path for yourself in life and the restorative power of nature.
