One Day

by David Nicholls | Buy this book

Extremely funny book about 2 graduates who meet every year with their relationship growing each time.

Mima (Stoke-on-Trent)

I was a complete bookworm during high school and college, growing up reading Jaqueline Wilson and being part of the magical world of Harry Potter but as I got older, life and social media completely consumed me. However that feeling I get from reading a book, has never changed and I would love to have people to share their thoughts and feelings when reading the same book as myself. I’m a fiction reader who loves a bit of romance (mainly the comedy form), mystery/thriller, mythological, historical and literary realism.

Mima recommends:

As Long As The Lemon Tree Grows

by Zoulfa Katouh | Buy this book

If you liked ‘Kite Runner’, you will definitely love this book. There is a certain rawness about the way Zoulfa has written the book, it makes you feel like you’re walking alongside the main character, cheering her on as she navigates the harshness of what life offers her. The literary realism of this book is what makes you carry on reading, not wanting to put it down as you wish for the fairytale happy ending to counteract the despondency of real life.

Elizabeth (Stafford)

I love to both read and write books. I am very into young adult fiction and hope to meet people who like similar things. I work 8am-4pm Monday to Friday so I am looking to join a club or group that meet in the evenings or at weekends.

Ermmpoppyithink (Uttoxeter)

Hiiii! My names poppy and I’m 23. I’ve always been into reading but recently stumbled back into it! I have a huge TBR that just keeps getting bigger! I love romance (spicer the better) and fantasy! Joined this as I feel like I have no one to rave about books with. Would love to have someone to read a book the same time as me and we can geek out abouts what going irl!

A court of throne and roses (the whole series)

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

The world building! The character development! You truly get absorbed into the book series. Some of the instalments are length, but they are so worth it!

Lucy (Cannock)

Would love to discover new books I wouldn’t usually read, whilst also just being more sociable!

Lucy recommends:

The Mercies

by Kiran Millwood Hargrave | Buy this book

Such thoroughly interesting and moving characters

Meg (Stoke-on-Trent)

Hi! I am 23, new to reading. I started as a way to improve my dyslexia and fell in love! I enjoy fantasy and romance and the occasional smut book. I'm looking for a way to meet new like minded people and try something new.

Meg recommends:

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

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!

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!

None of this is true

by Lisa jewell | Buy this book

It kept me on my toes the entire time, I had multiple moments of disbelief and it managed to make me laugh too!

Robin (Tamworth)

I enjoy novels - both modern and classics. Looking for a group with a range of ages, with men as well as women, to meet new people and to share both views on books and book recommendations. Tamworth/ North Warwickshire area preferred.

Patricia Lomas (Cannock)

I am 84 years old and love reading, I would like to join a book club to meet and discuss books with other people who also love reading.

Maria (Stoke-on-Trent)

I like romance and adventure, also autobiographies of interesting people. I’d like to meet-up preferably once a week. I am looking to expand my book genres as well, I’m open-minded. :)

Maria recommends:

Twisted Love

by Ana Huang | Buy this book

The Twisted series consists of four books and it talks about four best friends’ lives in each one. I love Ana’s writing style and she never fails to disappoint ❤️

Trevor (Rugeley)

I like reading and want to meet people

Anna (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

It ends with us

by Colleen Hoover | Buy this book

It was the book I read that got me into reading :)

Tom (Cannock)

I'm 24 m. I want improve my motivation so I will read more often. So far, I've only read dystopian stories, so recommendations on any genre will be useful for me to try out. Plus, I do like history so historical books are great too.

BookishLyssa (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I have a ‘to be read’ list longer than my to do list.. currently reading psychological thrillers!

Sarah (Stoke-on-Trent)

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!)

Sarah recommends:

Temeraire

by Naomi Novik | Buy this book

Set in the napoleonic era with a flair of fantasy.

Interesting plot and makes me happy

Hamnet

by Maggie O'Farrell | Buy this book

The authors use of language immerses you into Shakespeare's family and landscape, in the English middle ages. Sad but lovely

Rebecca recommends:

Gone Girl

by Gillian Flynn | Buy this book

One of those thrillers that’s hard to put down - the film adaptation is great too!

Looking For Alaska

by John Green | Buy this book

This was my favourite book as a teenager and definitely deserves a feature here.

The Handmaid’s Tale

by Margaret Atwood | Buy this book

This is a book I fell in love with after reading it in college for one of my A-Levels. Moving, empowering and infuriating all in one. Also has an incredible TV series adaptation!
