I’m 66 and have decided I need to add more to my life than walking my beloved dog George. I adore reading most genre, especially crime I haven’t thought about poetry until recently and and look forward to be given the opportunity.

Making friends in your 30s seems almost impossible and I'd love to have more friends who enjoy reading, looking for a book club that meets up in person rather than online. I'm 33 and I love reading thrillers, my favourite series is The Collector Series by Dot Hutchison. I'd like to explore more horror after reading Left to You by Daniel Volpe, I read it over 2 years ago and I still remember every detail, which is very rare for me! Outside of books I'm an avid football and cricket fan, I love live music (just got back from Download festival and my feet still hurt) and I've been teetotal since December 2020.

Night Film

by Marisha Pessl | Buy this book

I'm terrible at writing reviews but it's a great book, dark and full of mystery with really intriguing characters.

Nikki

I’m a horror-obsessed 27 y/o looking for a book club to meet up in person once a month, preferably horror genre (extreme horror and splatterpunk included) but I don’t mind a bit of crime thriller and fantasy now and again!

The Watchers

by A.M. Shine | Buy this book

I love how dark and ominous this book is! It was a tad slow to start off with but as soon as it kicks in you don’t want to put the book down. Love the Irish folklore elements too

Playground

by Aron Beauregard | Buy this book

While this book definitely isn’t for the faint hearted and is at time super gross, I absolutely loved it! The children and parents all have their own developed personalities which makes it really easy to differentiate between them all (and it makes it easy for you to decide which characters you like and which you don’t). It’s definitely a shocking book at times but I appreciate it!

The Shuddering

by Ania Ahlborn | Buy this book

The characters are all likeable which makes you that little bit more invested in them and the plot. It’s got moments or eeriness and dread and also has plenty of bold horror elements too!

Doctor Sleep

by Stephen King | Buy this book

I loved The Shining but for me Doctor Sleep beats it by far! While it’s not exactly scary, there are some nasty scenes that really show you how evil some of the characters are. I also really love that we get to see how Danny grew up and how he moved on after the Overlook hotel.

Angel

To meet like minded people and also to take an interest in other books that I havnt read in a crime fiction nerd!

Fireheart02

I love reading fantasy, romantasy and mystery but will often try anything! I'm looking to join a club/meet some like minded people and make new friends.

Throne of Glass

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

This is my Roman Empire 😂

Ellie

I'm 19 and haven't read properly since a young age aside from the odd book here and there. I used to love the work of R.J Anderson, and I still have a passion for fantasy books. I'd like to meet like minded people and get back my imagination!

DTH

Have dyslexia along with other learning difficulties such as dyscalculia and dyspraxia. He learned to read and write at a late age, making school life difficult. However, his mother, Carol, would read to him and buy him books, starting his love of literature. Throughout his life, he dreamt of one day getting his own stories out into the world.
