Read-Up (Stoke-on-Trent)

Hello, I'm semi-retired, currently working as a teacher of English and befriender with asylum seekers in Stoke-on-Trent. I've been an avid reader ever since my dad put me on to Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". As well as English, I did German and French at A level, which naturally broadened my reading horizon. I started writing short stories a while back and have had two published (in Prole and Tigershark magazines). I quite like the idea of disciplined reading (a book a month or whatever). My best friend is a reader, but he lives in Rotherham, so I would relish debating the merits/demerits of a "set" book closer to home and possibly make new friends along the way.

The Children's Book

by A S Byatt | Buy this book

Apart from the exquisite writing, seen from the view points of inter-related family members, it gives you a flavour of the cultural world from 1895 to the first world war. A lot of the characters come from privileged backgrounds but, for me personally, I was encouraged to see the rise of two working class siblings from Stoke-on-Trent in the fields of pottery and women's suffrage.

Simon (Cannock)

Retired boomer, avid reader since the age of 4. When I ran out of books which I often did, I would read the dictionary, or a thesaurus. I have eclectic tastes, but stay away from horror and tend to like positive outcomes rather than tear jerkers. In need of intellectual stimulation, maybe finding new authors, books - never too late for new things.

Simon recommends:

Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy

by Douglas Adams | Buy this book

Sci-fi mixed with philosophy and humour. Our routine existence our world even, seems so safe so mundane, but it could be far from that and this book could give you a new perspective, much like when astronauts saw the first earth rise from the moon.

Lucy (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I'm 26 with 2 kids and love to read everything and everything my favourite being thrillers. Would love to join a social group that's all books and friendships

Niamh (Lichfield)

Hi, I’m Niamh! I’ve always loved getting lost in a good book and enjoy discovering new stories, perspectives, and ideas. Whether it’s fiction, memoirs, or thought-provoking non-fiction, I love discussing books and hearing different interpretations. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with fellow book lovers, share recommendations, and have meaningful conversations over a great read.

Sapphire’s unique book club (Cannock)

This book club has a unique twist where we will meet up and talk about the books we have been reading rather than everyone reading the same book. This is an idea I had as I am very set in the genres that I read but still like to hear about what others have read to see if this may interest me and I feel like everyone can then read at there own pace and potentially find a new book that is interesting to them.

Saffy (Cannock)

26 year old female. Looking to start a book club where there can be different genres. I like true crime, Disney twisted tales and Harry Potter so I’m looking to broaden my reading with a little book club

Saffy recommends:

Unbirthday

by Liz Braswell | Buy this book

Whilst reading this book I felt like I was in the book rather than reading it. There are many twists and turns and it is well written. I won’t give any information away as I don’t want to spoil for anyone but I highly recommend reading this book.

Lindsay (Ipstones)

I’m 47 and live in Cheadle. Looking to turn off the tv and get back into reading, I mostly enjoy funny romance books, although I have read thrillers/horror and some fantasy too. Looking to meet people with similar book interests.

Shambo (Stoke-on-Trent)

Eclectic Reader Seeking Literary Adventure Partners! Are you someone who dives into multiple books at once, jumping between worlds and genres with enthusiasm? I'm an avid reader with diverse tastes, currently exploring the poignant storytelling of Christy Lefteri's 'The Book of Fire' while also immersing myself in young adult fantasy with Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series (just finished 'Cinder' and eagerly anticipating the next installment!). I'm looking to connect with fellow book lovers who share my passion for varied storytelling – whether it's contemporary fiction, fantasy, or anything in between. Hoping to find a group where we can: - Share our reading journeys and discoveries - Motivate each other to reach our reading goals - Discuss different perspectives on the same book - Create a welcoming space for all genres and reading styles If you're also juggling multiple books across different genres and looking for a community to share your literary adventures with, let's connect! After all, our TBR piles aren't getting any smaller, but they're more fun to tackle together! Who's ready to embark on this bookish journey alongside me?!

Carla (Lichfield)

Hey! I'm into most books and have really started getting into reading the last couple of years. I would love to meet new people and find new books to read. The most recent books I have read in the last 2 months are Demon Copperhead, The Satsuma Complex, Less Than Zero, Poor Things, Butter, Killing Time and I have just started Intermezzo.

Kerry Leanne (Stoke-on-Trent)

I am 33 year old with a 7 year old lad, looking for a cozy, friendly book club to join or anybody who wants a new book friend just to have a laugh with a coffee and talk books! I enjoy a good book that gets me hooked! Thriller is a new fave genre of mine.

Caitlin1 (Stoke-on-Trent)

I love reading, actually getting into being a writer. Want to get to know some likeminded people who love books as much as I do. I mainly read crime, thrillers, and fantasy but willing to try new genres.

Utopia avenue

by David Mitchell | Buy this book

Fantastic story with great characters.

LucyReadsRomance (Uttoxeter)

I’m Lucy, a 33 year old romance book obsessive, new to Staffordshire. I’m looking to connect with other people who love romance books, and sometimes thrillers! I have a colossal TBR list that I’m working through in 2025, and would love to chat to other bookish types!

LucyReadsRomance recommends:

You and Me On Vacation

by Emily Henry | Buy this book

It’s an adult romance novel where the two main characters have so much back story and they’re just enchanting as a pairing. The tension builds so well through the book. Honestly anything Emily Henry writes in golden in my view, but this is one of my favourites.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

by Gail Honeyman | Buy this book

This is my all-time favourite book. The narration is rather unique, I believe Eleanor may be neurodivergent but either way her view on the world and the tragic life she lives is fascinating.

Becca89 (Stoke-on-Trent)

I’m Becca, 35, wife & mum. I’ve always loved reading, even from a young age. I’ve recently upped the amount I’m reading again, and would love to find like minded individuals to share the experience of a new book with!

Becca89 recommends:

Kingdom Of Ash

by Sarah J. Maas | Buy this book

The last book in the TOG series. It’s the most amazing ending to the journey you take with the characters throughout the first 6 books.

Lydia (Rugeley)

32 years old, enjoy reading thrillers/crime/suspense and would love to join a like-minded group

Heather (Cannock)

26, enjoy true crime & thriller books, wanting to spend some time getting back into my reading again. Possibly find a club or someone to chat with to find recommendations

Stevie (Cannock)

I’m Stevie, I’m 30 and I like a variety of genres but have a particular interest in crime and thrillers at the moment. I’d love to join a bunch ok club or find some like minded people to share book recommendations with.
