JoeyB (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I love to read, always have. Fantasy is my absolutely favourite but I have read a few romantasies of late which I adore! I’ve written a book too which I’m being lazy about doing something with. Really would love to get involved with a group of like-minded people about stories.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

Throughout the whole book the descriptions on the characters, the kingdom and everything were just perfection. So many changes throughout that you just can't predict. This book is the sole reason I love to read and the best book ever!

FireHeart (Stoke-on-Trent)

I'm a 41, female corporate girly who likes to lose myself in fantasy stories so that i can escape the day job. I enjoy dark humour and sarcasm. I'm looking to meet up with like minded people who enjoy reading, i generally read romantacy/dark fantasy, but occasionally a horror, sci fi or crime type book. I live in Stoke on Trent so ideally would like to join a book club locally.

Epic world building, the BEST FMC, found family, magical powers, wyverns, love, hope, sorrow, pretty much all the feels but in the best way

Celaena123 (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

Romantasy has got me into reading in my mid 20’s but I’m open to other genres. Looking for a local book club as an opportunity to meet new friends who may also share my love for characters such as Xaden Riorson, Rhysand, Cassian and Kingfisher to name a few🤣🫶🏼 Love an oat milk flat white and a good natter x

Found this fast paced and a good intro into romantasy books

Lauren (Lichfield)

I’m 26 and recently moved to the area, and over the last year I’ve completely fallen back in love with reading. I’m always looking for people to swap recommendations with, chat about favourite characters, or convince me to add even more books to my already dangerous TBR pile. I love books with vivid, sensory descriptions of settings - especially far away countries, or fantasy worlds that feel beautiful and magical. I love a seasonal read; a theatre in sun-soaked coastal Sicily in summer, or a tiny bakery in autumn. I’m drawn to both fantasy and quieter stories about everyday life, and I’ll almost always enjoy a romance plot, especially slow burns, complicated relationships, and characters with tension between them. Some of my current favourites are Normal People by Sally Rooney, The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan, The Host by Stephenie Meyer, Bride by Ali Hazelwood, and I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett.

Jordon (Cannock)

Looking for a book club where we cover a range of genres, love a good thriller or crime book especially with a plot twist but also love a good romance. Wanting to read the same book and meet up to discuss our thoughts about the book.

Florence (Stafford)

Trying to revive my reading habit.

nandrew (Cannock)

I am a big fan of crime and historical fiction, thrillers and legal dramas. I am hoping to join a book club to meet new people and discover new books.

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.

Libby (Stone)

My daughter has just gone to university and I am looking to pick up some new hobbies, make new friends and make some space for me. I am a sporadic reader and not at all a literature buff. I like romance, life twisty stuff, crime etc.

Hattie1208 (Stafford)

I'm entering my thirties and still not over the fact I didn't get a letter from Hogwarts. I'm new to the Stafford area and spend a lot of my time with my nose in a good fantasy fiction or romance book. Also a huge fan of thrillers!

Hello, 33 year old here hoping to meet new people who actually want to talk about books! I was a big reader when I was younger and have recently got back into it after a very long slump. My tastes are eclectic however I’m finding that my favourite is fantasy (which is a new realisation so I have many to read!)

Chloee_17 (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I’m Chloe, I’m 28, born and raised in Stoke on Trent. I have a love for reading (usually accompanied by a cup of tea) however find it difficult to make time with daily demands. I enjoy any type of murder mystery / thriller novel but I am always open to new recommendations! Unfortunately my nearest and dearest don’t share my passion for reading and I’d love to join a club, or maybe be brave and create one, to meet like minded people x

The suspense!

Chante (Lichfield)

26 year old South African. Just moved to the area after working for a few months on the Isles of Scilly. I’m someone who loves diving into books and exploring new worlds through reading. Whether it’s fiction, non-fiction, or anything in between, I’m always looking for stories that make me think, feel, or learn something new. I’m joining a book group because I want to connect with others who share that passion for reading. I believe that discussing books with others can deepen your understanding and bring out new perspectives that you might not have thought of on your own. Plus, I enjoy hearing about what others are reading and getting recommendations for books I might not have discovered on my own.

Chante recommends:

Normal People

by Sally Rooney | Learn more and buy

It captures the complexity of human relationships in such an honest, intimate way. Sally Rooney has a unique writing style that feels both raw and restrained, which makes the emotional moments hit even harder. The relationship between Connell and Marianne is so layered. It’s not just about romance, but about communication, class, identity, and the struggle to understand oneself while trying to connect with someone else. What really stands out is how normal everything feels, in the best way. There are no dramatic plot twists or exaggerated characters. It’s the quiet, everyday moments that carry emotional weight. The dialogue feels real, the silences speak volumes, and the story highlights how love doesn’t always follow a clear or easy path. It’s also a book that stays with you. Even after finishing it, you find yourself thinking about the characters and the choices they made. That lasting emotional impact is part of what makes it so powerful.
