Josh (East Kilbride)

I’m Josh, 22. I enjoy reading mostly fiction books, specifically mystery and sci-fi books. I’m looking to find likeminded individuals to hopefully explore some different genres and expand my social circle.

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.

Rizzio

by Denise Mina | Buy this book

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.

Mairi (East Kilbride)

I am 70 years old but young at heart enjoy reading looking to meet up with some like minded people

Sheryl (East Kilbride)

I regularly turn off the TV/laptop and put down my mobile phone to read! I will read just about anything, but have a preference for sci fi/fantasy. Would love to meet with people to have a really good natter about books.

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!

James (East Kilbride)

I love the written word and even spend hours reading YouTube comments (sad I know!) which are often hilarious and give insights into human psychology and snippets of peoples lives. I read various genres from authors such as Stephen King, George RR Martin, Sharon K Penman (Historical fiction), Charles Dickens, George Orwell, JD Salinger, Vince Flynn, etc. I particularly love smelly, dusty old books and have a small library at home. I would love to meet other like minded book worms and enthusiasts for the written word. I also love 3d movies and video games but books are my favourite.

Joyland

by Stephen King | Buy this book

One of his shorter novels. A murder mystery based in a theme park in the US. It is a coming of age tale packed with nostalgia of dreams and loves lost and although it has Scooby Doo vibes (which sounds terrible!) and The Catcher in Rye vibes and is not one of his better written novels. It is a great introduction to a writer who has been pigeon holed as a horror writer whereas his novels are more about the human condition than anything else. Don't be surprised if you end up in pieces reading Joyland. I've never read another author with the capacity to tug on my heartstrings like Stephen King. And he does nostalgia like no-one else. He is a genius of sorts!

Erin (East Kilbride)

I’m always a bit shy at first but once you get to know me I’m pretty laid back. I love films and tv, my cat Gus, my family and my partner. I’m teaching myself Spanish at the moment and have a tendency to overcommit to things. I hate raw tomatoes and rude people. I like being goofy and exploring new places, hope to make some lasting friendships.

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keys | Buy this book

This one really got me! A really interesting concept about a man with a mental disability undergoing a surgery to improve his intelligence. It was one of the first books that stayed with me for a long time afterwards and made me question my own character.

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

Scott (Strathaven)

Love to read and would like to get to know some fellow bookworms in the local area. Ideally looking for a mid-week book club, but would be happy to start a new one. I'm open minded with what I read, but tend to lean towards contemporary, classics, history and dystopian novels. Oh, and some good non-fiction each month too.

Nicole (Strathaven)

Just starting as a beginner but enjoying it so far. Looking for book recommendations will give anything a read really.

Kris10 (Strathaven)

I like anything that is a bit different, general literature rather than gendres like romance, science fiction or police crime.

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.

Helen (East Kilbride)

I am Helen Keenan, 70 years old, friendly, outgoing and looking to expand my social circle, with like minded people. I enjoy reading, love a good murder mystery, but open to reading anything really.

Sam82 (East Kilbride)

I’m looking for an evening book club in East Kilbride. My absolute favourite sorts of books to read are crime fiction, especially golden age style but I also love Anthony Horowitz. Aside from crime I do read quite a wide variety. Currently reading Mythos by Stephen Fry (late to the party, I know!)

Naomi (East Kilbride)

I am looking to do read more and meet others in my local area. I enjoy a good story that grips me!
