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!

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:

Michael (Manchester)

Hello all. Would like to find people to form a casual, social book club with. My tastes are eclectic: classic lit, poetry, contemporary American fiction, some sci-fi (Philip K. Dick, etc.), some fantasy (Tolkien and Peake, etc.), world lit, Japanese lit (Abe Kobo), essays, history, primary historical sources, some science, psychotherapy (I’m a trainee counsellor). I write weird fiction and poetry. I like novelty. My ideal book club is varied, occasionally arcane. I’m a squirrel chaser and I get bored reading the same sort of thing over and over. Hit me up if any of this interests you.

Deen (Manchester)

Hi, I am 24 year old guy looking to get into reading more - I'm mainly interested in literature subjected around romance, tragedy, thrillers and horrors - but open to new topics also. Based around Manchester/Greater Manchester so reach out if you want to start something hopefully productive and social!

Deen recommends:

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four
by George Orwell | Buy this book
Eerily reminiscent of our current times... Powerful read, harrowing ending. Focuses on the pressures society has on an individual and the persistent and how free will and thought can be malleated and forgotten. Quite popular for a reason - if you have not read already, read!
