Simonahome. (Coventry)

Very few of my friends seem to read in the way I did as a child. Any text excites me but politics/history/science fiction are good go tos.

Hannah (Birmingham)

Hi, My name is Hannah Majid and I'm a journalist at ITV News Central. We're working on a story about how the UK Society of Authors is campaigning to get books stamped with a 'Human Authored' logo to ensure readers know the difference between books produced by AI, versus books written by real people. Hundreds of authors are also backing the campaign. We'd like to film at your next book club meeting (preferably this week or early next week) and ask people: Do you think books written by humans should be labelled on the cover as AI books begin to enter the market? Why do you think it's important for people to know if a book has been written by a human? If this is something you can help us with, please let me know as soon as possible! Thanks, Hannah

Looking for a reading group for new suggestions and to meet people.

By a Thread

by Lucy Score | Buy this book

It balances humor with deeper themes like personal growth, family struggles, and emotional vulnerability. Fast-paced and engaging, it’s an easy read with memorable side characters.

Rach (Wolverhampton)

This is the year I want to start doing more things, got to get this non terminal bucket list ticked off 😊

Budgie (Coventry)

I would ideally like to join a group in a daytime or online. I enjoy reading daily, mostly crime genre and would like to connect with like minded people

The Missing Family

by Tim Weaver | Buy this book

The book starts with an inexplicable mystery of a family disappearing from a boat in the middle of a lake. The central character in all Weavers books, David Raker, specialises in missing person cases and the author is an expert at building suspense and clever plot twists.

Jenny (Kingswinford)

I love to read about almost anything and really want to be able to make friends to discuss different books!

JAHANZEB (Birmingham)

I am new to reading, and I love reading books but I never get to finish a book, I hope this helps me to get more into reading.

SIMON WARD (Dudley)

My name is SIMON WARD and I live in Dudley. I am a book lover and enjoy connecting with other readers. My favorite genres include mystery and science fiction. I am looking forward to joining this book club and discussing my favorite books with other members.

Romance reader 03 (Birmingham)

Hi! I’m someone who reads in intense phases, when I’m in, I’m all in. I mostly read spicy romance because I love the emotional intensity, the tension, and the comfort of getting completely lost in a story. Reading is my favorite form of escape, and it’s the one hobby I always come back to. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with other readers, talk about the books that obsess us, and hopefully stay a little more consistent with my reading. I’d love to share recommendations and gush over fictional characters together!

Romance reader 03 recommends:

Heartless

by Elsie Silver | Buy this book

It is great because it perfectly delivers the grumpy single-dad x sunshine nanny dynamic with intense chemistry, emotional depth, and small-town ranch charm. Cade’s tough, guarded exterior slowly melting for Willa is incredibly satisfying, and the bond between Willa and his son adds warmth and heart that balances the steam. It’s the kind of spicy romance that feels both escapist and emotionally comforting, addictive, swoony, and easy to binge

Shilpa (Birmingham)

I love getting lost in good stories and seeing life through different perspectives. I’d like to join a book group to share thoughts, discover new reads, and enjoy meaningful conversations.

Eden (Wolverhampton)

Pawlean (Solihull)

As an avid Magic Realism and Fantasy reader who doesn't like Romantasy nor smut (unpopular opinion, I know!), I would love to find like-minded readers to explore those genres with - and go beyond the redundant social media book trends that cast an unfortunate shadow to so many hidden gems. :)

Pawlean recommends:

My Lady Jane

by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, Jodi Meadows | Buy this book

What's not to love in a semi-historial fiction that gives a prominent female figure a second (and longer) life, and surrounds her with magic? This book is the exception to my No Romantasy preference.

Percy Jackson

by Rick Riordan | Buy this book

Rick Riordan is my hero, and Percy Jackson changed my life.

Iram (Birmingham)

Hi, I'm Iram. I trained to teach English and love Literature. I am passionate about how words can encourage empathy and creativity. I believe we can learn from each other when we share insights about what we have read and would love to pick people's brains and connect over stories.

The Book Nook Club (Wolverhampton)

The Book Nook Club is a warm and welcoming book club in Wolverhampton for readers of all kinds. We enjoy a range of books and relaxed meet-ups focused on good stories, good conversation, and discovering new reads.

Chloé Bee (Wolverhampton)

Hi, I’m Chloé! I’m a big reader based in the West Midlands and I’d love to join a book group to talk about books, discover new authors, and make some new friends along the way. I enjoy a mix of fiction and non-fiction and I’m open to trying genres I wouldn’t normally pick up on my own.

Chloé Bee recommends:

The Midnight Library

by Matt Haig | Buy this book

It’s accessible, reflective, and encourages big conversations about choices, regret, and what makes a life meaningful. A great pick for mixed-taste groups.

Norah (Birmingham)

I love reading, listen to book or anything about books.. its my only escape from this shitty world, i live fiction, into most books but lets be honest smut is my go to coz why not

Bess (West Bromwich)

I enjoy reading psychological thrillers mainly. I'm looking for a book group in the Sandwell area. One that meets monthly would be great.

Chloe (Wolverhampton)

Hi, I’m Chloe. I’m a big reader and love getting lost in a good book. I’d really like to join a book club to share thoughts, discover new reads, and enjoy cosy book conversations.
