Abbie (East Kilbride)

Looking to expand my book collection with other friendly people. I love all types of fiction books but I have a soft spot for novels that dabble in the macabre and horror of life.

Hi all I’m an avid reader and I don’t have any specific type of book or author, I just read anything that takes my fancy . I recently had a big birthday and decided it’s time to do more for me and persue some of the things I enjoy . I thought a book club would be fun to try and meet a new social group in person or online , whatever fits best with my crazy life . I look to hopefully meeting some of you . Karen

June (East Kilbride)

Flame in the Mist

by Renee Ahdieh | Learn more and buy

Fast paced and thrilling fantasy romance duology with elements of Japanese folklore, got me out of the reading slump that I was in :)

Lewis (East Kilbride)

I'm a 31 years old, neurodiverse male. I love reading and discussing books. I was recently kicked out of a book club because of their rigidity and lack of inclusivity. Being autistic, I find social cues and settings difficult to interpret and can often say the wrong thing or make someone uncomfortable - this in no way reflects my true intentions, thoughts or feelings. I love to read fantasy, sci-fi, anything mythological is a winner! I also enjoy and collect graphic novels. I'm writing a book as well at the moment. I am a mathematician currently researching transcendental numbers. I am currently reading Neon Gods, Kiss of the Basilisk, and I Am Pilgrim. I hope I can find a bookclub that is accepting and welcoming.

The Lord of the Rings

by J.R.R. Tolkien | Learn more and buy

It has deep characters that you can get emotionally attached to and has an extremely engaging narrative.

Friends not yet aquainted (East Kilbride)

Discuss books that can be discovered with new pals

Jo (Strathaven)

I've always been a reader and I am looking to meet similarly book-minded people to talk about writing, books, and more while making some new friends. I read almost all kinds of books and enjoy stepping out of my comfort areas to explore the recommendations of others. I don't have a book club but would like to be part of one. Happy to travel locally and meet up once a month or so.

Jo recommends:

Rizzio

by Denise Mina | Learn more and buy

It a novella that transports you right into the middle of a viscious event in Scottish history, making it and its main player feel impossibly alive, while also reflecting on the echoes of the happening's impact on modern society.

Nicola (Strathaven)

A very keen reader and looking to join a book club near me.

VikkiTips (East Kilbride)

I've always wanted to join a book club, and I'm trying to expand my circle a little more. Mid 30s, female, big nerd, east kilbride. I love to read, and I love to learn. I don't read a lot of crime or history, but I'll pick up anything if it's well-recommended enough.

VikkiTips recommends:

Night Watch

by Terry Pratchett | Learn more and buy

Hands down the best book in the Sam Vimes discworld series, but I'd definitely reading the previous ones before this to give a good idea of the characters and the progression of Vimes' career. Like all Pratchett books, Night Watch is a scorching take on western society, in this case, rebellion and civic duty, and Vimes re-experiences the biggest event of his life with fresh eyes. I'm loathe to say more without risking spoiling anything, but I love a good time travel plot, and Pratchett handles it perfectly.

Hannah (East Kilbride)

23, Love books my favourites are YA Fantasy, Thrillers and Detective Series but happy to read anything. Hoping to find a book club to join where I can meet like minded people with shared interests.

Hannah recommends:

Drama, romance, fantasy, dragons. It's quite fast paced and the FMC & MMC are just chefs kiss.

Eilidh (East Kilbride)

21, I’m looking to start a book club for cozy books (I read mostly romance but don’t mind reading others genres too) and make some new friends!

That’s to be decided (East Kilbride)

I would love to start a book club where like minded people could meet together and recommend, read and discuss our passion. Once we have some member I would be happy to organise a venue and host the first one. I am thinking a Wednesday evening around 6.30/7.00 would be a good time however am happy to go with the flow once I see what interest there is. I do hope we can get this off the ground and enjoy a new hobbie in 2025! Please come join me

Raymond (East Kilbride)

I enjoy reading fantasy, thrillers, YA, Sci-Fi, mystery & just about anything else really if the book is enjoyable enough. I have been getting more into reading lately, and I am looking for people to talk about it with. Hoping to be able to analyse books and share our experiences/perspectives on them with each other to find more fulfilment in this new hobby I am exploring!

Raymond recommends:
