Rosie Peach (Cannock)

I am looking to join a book club to share my love of reading with others. I have a particular love for romantasy books but will read just about anything!

CalicoSoneji (Stoke-on-Trent)

I like reading horror/dark as well as the classic but I’ll give anything a go really! I love a book that can make me cry 😅 Would love to make friends with people who also love to read :)

The Chrysalids

by John Wyndham | Learn more and buy

I loved this book as a kid and recently re read it and loved it all over again. Exciting science fiction story with the age old dangers of treating people badly because of their differences with heart wrenching moments along the way.

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

Nervous in new grouos (Stafford)

Hi, I’m a keen reader who is trying to get out of the house more!

Book and a Brew (Cannock)

We’re a fun, friendly reading group aimed at sufferers of depression and anxiety, based in Cannock, Staffordshire. We’re different from a book club as we don’t all read the same thing. Each fortnight, we give our members a reading prompt (e.g A mystery novel) and it’s up to each individual to pick a book that fits the prompt. We meet fortnightly at Cannock Library for a cuppa and a chat about what we’ve read that fortnight. We’re a lovely read group of avid readers, and we all believe in the power of reading for mental health. Follow us on Instagram @book_anda_brew 😊

Booze n Book Club (Tamworth)

I host a book club on the last Tuesday of every month in BonDs, Tamworth. We start at 19:30 - all information on our current read can be found on Instagram - @BBC_MONTHLY :)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

by Stephen Chbosky | Learn more and buy

This is out BOTM - we chose a coming of age book for this month!

Greg (Stoke-on-Trent)

Love books, want to meet other book lovers, get some good titles and generally spend some free time with like-minded people. Please note, that English is not my first language.

Penny Wheat (Stafford)

I am a public speaker and writer of non fiction. My latest book is Dead End and is described as 'Befriending the friendless. One woman's heart-warning encounters with murderers and sex offenders.' It is full of humour and anecdotes, despite the subject matter, and I would love to attend Sandon book club and share it with the membership.

Kelly (Stoke-on-Trent)

I like romance and stories with a happy ending. Don't mind some angst on the way but like to shut off from stressed of the real world and know all will be ok in the end. I don't mind erotica in a book too.

Jennifer (Cannock)

I'm 29 and enjoy reading classics from around the world as well as utopian and dystopian fiction. At the moment, I'm reading The Last Man by Mary Shelley and The Strudlhof Steps by Heimito Von Doderer. I am looking to join a book group to meet new people who enjoy discussing books.

Chris (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I have always enjoyed reading. I have a love for fantasy, sci-fi and history in particular. However I also enjoy a good murder mystery or general fiction. I would like to find some people to chat about books with and be introduced to new books.

Chris recommends:

Utopia avenue

Keen reader and book reviewer, new to Burton-upon-Trent. Interested to join a book club!

Hamnet

by Maggie O'Farrell | Learn more and buy

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

Looking for a book club to join or just connect with people who have similar interests. 35 years old big on fantasy literature, dabbling in sci-fi and love classic literature.

Nesta87 (Stoke-on-Trent)

I've recently got back into reading, romantasy has become a firm favourite and im looking gorgeous a local book club to join and hopefully make friends along the way

sophiemaex (Stoke-on-Trent)

GemB (Stoke-on-Trent)

I'm a mum of two (very energetic) young boys and work full time. I used to read a lot, but this dropped off once my family started to grow and life got busy! I started using Audible as a way to get some 'me' time while still getting my typical household jobs done, I want to get back into proper reading. I used to read a lot of thriller and horror style books, I like the odd classic, and recently picked up quite a few Romantacy style books (Quicksilver, When the moon hatched, ACOTAR) which I love. I really want to start carving out some me time, make friends with similar people who want to discuss good books

Dave (Stoke-on-Trent)

I recently returned to the area after enjoying being a member of an in-person book club for several years. I am still in an online book club but miss the in-person stuff.
