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.

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)

I love to read romance novels and I think it’d be lovely connecting with more book readers ; get to know them and share our interests.

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.

The nightingale

by Kristen Hannah | Buy this book

The story, the lives of the sisters the ending it’s just beautifully written and it broke my heart.

Taming 7

by Chloe Walsh | Buy this book

This whole Boys of Tommen series has took over my head. Regardless of it being set in a school it doesn’t feel that way. I love Gibsie and Shannon and how they have overcome all they have been through such a good read!!

Lewis (Manchester)

Hi, I'm 25, I've recently started reading and really appreciate it but don't have like minded people to appreciate it with. I was looking to join a group of people that like horror/ thriller/ mystery books, I don't mind the time period or of its fantasy 🤔. I'm currently reading, house of leaves and John dies at the end but am open to any recommendations ☺️

Henry (Manchester)

Back in my home country, some of my best friends were made while in a book club with an online aspect too, so I was thinking. The best people are readers. I just want to meet more of them and geek over books. I like Fantasy and sci-fi these days but I read everything. I'm in Stockport / Manchester. You can be anywhere

Henry recommends:

Mistborn Series

by Brandon Sanderson | Buy this book

Well, you have RAFO. Read and Find Out. Basically, it talks about a revolution but I was basically interested in the economics of it all. What really happens AFTER a revolution is not always what you expect.
