Secret book geek (Loughborough)

I have just moved to a village near Loughborough. I love socialising and meeting with friends… but secretly I love nothing better than getting home and crawling into bed with a good book. Psychological / crime thrillers are my go to but I also love historical fiction, romantic comedy and a general good tear jerker. Having just moved to the area, my social life is somewhat lacking so my reading has ramped up. I’d love to combine the two… meeting like-minded people to discuss the books that we love and share recommendations. If anyone can recommend a book club, or would be interested in starting one, then I would love to hear from you.

Hamnet
by Maggie O’Farrell | Buy this book
Almost faultless in prose and style All her books are incredible but this slightly stands out due to its mesmerising language and unexpected take on a well known subject

Ally (Leicester)

(18) I enjoy reading a diverse range of genres but I have a natural tendency towards the classics, literary fiction, dystopian, science fiction, romance, and contemporary. I'm looking to make friends with people who love honest conversation and perhaps meet once or twice per month to discuss books together and drink coffee :)

Ally recommends:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen | Buy this book
I know it's not exactly what you'd call "niche", but there's a reason why it's widely acclaimed to be the best English romance novel of all time (and also one of my favourite novels of all time).

Sorina (Loughborough)

Hello! My name is Sorina and I have moved to Leicestershire in June 2024. I am looking to meet new people and hopefully make friends through my love of reading. I enjoy quite a few genres such as classic literature, thrillers, horror, psychological thrillers, historical fiction, non fiction, etc. I would say that I the only genres that I do not seem to enjoy are romance and science fiction. I would love to meet up and discuss books (or anything else, really) or even look into organising a book club.

Kalvin (Leicester)

Hi! My name is Kalvin and I'm 24 years old! For the longest time I never really got into the idea of reading. For me the more engaging and stimulating stuff was things visual happening in front of me! Things such as movies and games. However some time has passed and I'm a little older and perhaps a little wiser, so I decided to purchase a couple of books to read on a trip. Flowers for Algernon, as well as, the perks of being a wallflower.......and I'm in awe in just how a good book can make me feel such emotions. I'm currently in the middle of the perks of being a wallflower, after finishing flowers for Algernon in 2 days! This as sort of ignited a desire to speak to other people, hopefully around my age, about books and speak about what they mean to us, what we thought of them, and essentially connect with others! I'm hoping to find a book club in Leicester I can attend that is welcoming and has a few people close to my age, so I can relate with them a little more! I do want to embrace this new found joy, and hopefully that also means I can read more books that really have me in my feels! I'm also unsure if we can chat to others on this site, but if we can please don't hesitate to contact me! It would be nice to hear from others and maybe find a club together too! Thank you for reading my ramble!

Flowers for Algernon  by Daniel Keyes
Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes | Buy this book
Where do I even begin :') This book is just so wonderful, in all the sad but good sad ways. Like the "I'm sad but I'm really glad I read this" way! It made me sit down after finishing it and stare at a wall for a bit just thinking about it. I spoke to others online about their experiences with it, and many others who read the book years ago still say they can't forget about this story and everything that happens. It's beautiful yet painful. Many people in my life would never really think I'm an emotional guy, and perhaps I do come across that way too. A little bit stoic. But this book really pulled my heart and made me feel vulnerable. I couldn't recommend this more!
