Isabel (Market Harborough)

Hi I am 55 and a carer for my elderly parents and I'm looking to join a book group to meet new people, enjoy conversation and widen my reading. If you'd like to meet up it would be great to hear from you.

I like general fiction, crime and suspense. Not as much of a fan of horror, sci-fi or fantasy but have dabbled!

Faz (Leicester)

I've always loved reading but sometimes struggle to find the time. I'm hoping a bookclub will keep me motivated to read more and help me connect with other readers. I mostly read romance (paranormal romance is my favourite) and I occasionally read other genre's. I'm looking for a romance bookclub (also happy to host one if there are people interested)

Kirstin (Market Harborough)

I'm a 36 year old mum of 4 and I run my own business. Reading is how I relax and I usually get through 1-2 books a week. I love fantasy, anything sort of magical or witchy and moving and poignant novels. I can also devour a good thriller within a day. I'd love to meet other women nearby who also love to read and maybe make some coffee buddies too!

Alisha (Leicester)

Iv always loved to read and Iv always wanted to join a book club. I honestly thought it was an American thing. Now that the pandemic has been over for a long time it would be good to meet like minded people face to face.

Rosanne (Coalville)

I’m 27 and I love reading and I would like to meet some new people, maybe make new friends. I’ve always wanted to join a book club.

Anstey Book Club (Loughborough)

We are a free group of like minded people of all ages, who love lots of different types of books

Bookscape Books Hinckley (Hinckley)

We are a local in-person book club which meets on the last Sunday of every month. We read a mix of genres and sometimes do small craft activities too!

Margot (Market Harborough)

I have loved reading all my life. I’m 61 and a semi-retired English teacher. I find now that I’m no longer in a school (I teach one-to-one online) I miss adult interaction, especially chatting about books and films. I would love to join a book club to share ideas and meet new friends.

Margot recommends:

A Year of Marvellous Ways

by Sarah Winman | Learn more and buy

Like all her books, the characters’ lives intertwine in such interesting ways and each offers wisdom in a unique voice. Her descriptions are so evocative. After reading Still Life, which I loved, I found this book was even better. SW takes you right into the setting so you feel you would like the book never to end.

Ellie (Coalville)

Hi! I’m 25 years old and a big book worm!! I love many genres ranging from the classics, romantasy to thrillers and horror! I’ve recently moved to coalville and would love to make connections and friends as I do not know anyone in the area :)

Mark (Coalville)

Recently retired. I have previously run several book clubs but would now like to join an existing one. I like to share a book I've enjoyed and also get some suggestions from other people.

Mark recommends:

A Conferecy of Dunces

by John Kennedy Toole | Learn more and buy

I love this book. The characters the humour. It's not for everyone. Some people hate the main character. Personally I found him fascinating.

Bookish (Leicester)

I always have two books on the go, one I'm reading and one audiobook. I read historic fiction, mysteries, some classics/ modern classics and old fashioned thrillers, Daphne Du Maurier is a favourite. I often choose quirky novels by publishers like Persephone or Virago. I would like to find a friendly book group and other bookish people. (I'm a 30-something woman).

Lynda (Hinckley)

I would like to join or start a book club in Hinckley or surrounding area, potentially meeting monthly. I definitely don’t read enough and a book club will be a great way to change this. I enjoy contemporary fiction but happy to try other genres.

Rikki Anderson (Leicester)

I tend to read books that explore psychology, philosophy, and what it means to be human. I’m interested in stories that make you think about meaning, resilience, and how people make sense of difficult experiences. I enjoy discussing ideas and different perspectives, and I’m hoping to meet people who like deeper conversations about books rather than just quick reviews.

Rikki Anderson recommends:

The Humans

by Matt Haig | Learn more and buy

A unique and often funny perspective on what it means to be human, told through the eyes of an outsider trying to understand our emotions, relationships, and contradictions. It mixes philosophy, humour, and vulnerability in a way that makes you appreciate the small things in life.

The Catcher in the Rye

by J. D. Salinger | Learn more and buy

A very honest look at alienation, identity, and the struggle to find your place in the world. Holden feels real rather than polished, and the book captures that uncomfortable space between adolescence and adulthood in a psychologically believable way.

Beatrice and Virgil

by Yann Martel | Learn more and buy

A strange but powerful exploration of how we try to understand trauma and suffering through art and storytelling. It’s symbolic, unsettling at times, and raises questions about how history and cruelty can be represented without losing their meaning.

justabadger (Leicester)

Just a badger. Reads books. Lifts weights. Overthinks existence. Probably drinking coffee while highlighting passages I’ll pretend I fully understood. I like philosophy, classic literature, psychology and anything slightly weird or thought-provoking. Joining to find interesting people, expand my reading list, and have actual conversations about books instead of just rating them out of 5.
