Heather (Ashton-under-Lyne)

I’m 66 and have decided I need to add more to my life than walking my beloved dog George. I adore reading most genre, especially crime I haven’t thought about poetry until recently and and look forward to be given the opportunity.

AelinFaye (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Hello! I'm a alt girl turning 30 this year and looking for a book club with like minded people who have the same-ish taste in books :) Let me know if you still looking for for members ^⁠_⁠^

BeckBooks (Manchester)

Looking to find other like minded readers to discuss interesting literature, history and philosophy

Baran Ariboga (Manchester)

HVAC apprentice that enjoys reading Russian novels and historical biographies. Discussing books with like minded people sounds awesome.

Whatgumpreads (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Making friends in your 30s seems almost impossible and I'd love to have more friends who enjoy reading, looking for a book club that meets up in person rather than online. I'm 33 and I love reading thrillers, my favourite series is The Collector Series by Dot Hutchison. I'd like to explore more horror after reading Left to You by Daniel Volpe, I read it over 2 years ago and I still remember every detail, which is very rare for me! Outside of books I'm an avid football and cricket fan, I love live music (just got back from Download festival and my feet still hurt) and I've been teetotal since December 2020.

Night Film

by Marisha Pessl | Buy this book

I'm terrible at writing reviews but it's a great book, dark and full of mystery with really intriguing characters.

Oyin (Manchester)

I like all genres

Goths that read bookclub (Manchester)

We’re a small group of alternative women between the ages of 25-30 who love to read! We meet up once a month in Manchester City centre to discuss the book of the month. We all pick a book each which then goes into a random wheel generator to determine what book to read each month, that way we all get to read something we recommended! We read a mix of genres including horror, mystery, fantasy, romance. We’d love to grow our bookclub and get more girls involved! You don’t have to be alternative or goth, we just thought it was a funny name considering we all are a bit alternative!

Nikki (Ashton-under-Lyne)

I’m a horror-obsessed 27 y/o looking for a book club to meet up in person once a month, preferably horror genre (extreme horror and splatterpunk included) but I don’t mind a bit of crime thriller and fantasy now and again!

The Watchers

by A.M. Shine | Buy this book

I love how dark and ominous this book is! It was a tad slow to start off with but as soon as it kicks in you don’t want to put the book down. Love the Irish folklore elements too

Playground

by Aron Beauregard | Buy this book

While this book definitely isn’t for the faint hearted and is at time super gross, I absolutely loved it! The children and parents all have their own developed personalities which makes it really easy to differentiate between them all (and it makes it easy for you to decide which characters you like and which you don’t). It’s definitely a shocking book at times but I appreciate it!

The Shuddering

by Ania Ahlborn | Buy this book

The characters are all likeable which makes you that little bit more invested in them and the plot. It’s got moments or eeriness and dread and also has plenty of bold horror elements too!

Doctor Sleep

by Stephen King | Buy this book

I loved The Shining but for me Doctor Sleep beats it by far! While it’s not exactly scary, there are some nasty scenes that really show you how evil some of the characters are. I also really love that we get to see how Danny grew up and how he moved on after the Overlook hotel.

Mariam Usman (Manchester)

I like reading in general and want to meet once a week for the book club. I am interested in meeting new people, to listen to other people`s interests and to try other genres such as crime thrillers.

Mariam Usman recommends:

The Butterfly Room

by Lucinda Riley | Buy this book

I love the way each character develops and how the past meets the present day in the story and how each character adds to the magic of coming together to form an interesting plot.

Olufunke (Manchester)

Looking to join a book club to meet like minds and chat. I love African literature, Crime novels and Sci-fi.

Salma (Manchester)

The reading list

by Sara Nisha Adams | Buy this book

I loved this book so much. I loved all the characters and I think it is a great book for someone who lost a loved one in life. It made me cry and felt really emotional.
