Raymond

I enjoy reading fantasy, thrillers, YA, Sci-Fi, mystery & just about anything else really if the book is enjoyable enough. I have been getting more into reading lately, and I am looking for people to talk about it with. Hoping to be able to analyse books and share our experiences/perspectives on them with each other to find more fulfilment in this new hobby I am exploring!

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

by Philip K Dick | Buy this book

It’s a really influential and iconic piece of literature to me which always gives me new things to think about whenever I come back to it.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

Drama, romance, fantasy, dragons. It's quite fast paced and the FMC & MMC are just chefs kiss.

Fiona

I am a sociable person and enjoy reading books and also trying different genres. Im chatty, friendly and approachable. Uts interesting to discuss each readers opinion if the book, as it allows us to think from a different perspective. I also dont mind helping out with organising forthcoming meetings or any other tasks to make the club a success

Leighanne

I love reading, I find it hard to actually find a specific genre! I love them all but I don't have anyone to talk to or recommend or enlighten me in my book journey ! I'm open to anything that really gets the pages turning with amazing plot twists or tests of my emotions also a I want and haven't found a good horror so those recs would be deeply wanted! Ta x

Sword of truth

by Terry good kind | Buy this book

It's has everything but it's very graphic like if you've watched that one episode of outlander .. you'd know 😅 but has feelings , fright , anticipation and surprises everywhere

Caroline

I have always enjoyed thrillers and only recently started reading fantasy. Would love to find a group of people to chat to about what we have read and recommend more!

June

I love reading and enjoy discussing books

Elaine

Looking to read more, and looking to see if there is an active book club looking for members in East Kilbride

That’s to be decided

I would love to start a book club where like minded people could meet together and recommend, read and discuss our passion. Once we have some member I would be happy to organise a venue and host the first one. I am thinking a Wednesday evening around 6.30/7.00 would be a good time however am happy to go with the flow once I see what interest there is. I do hope we can get this off the ground and enjoy a new hobbie in 2025! Please come join me

All The Colours of The Dark

by Chris Whittaker | Buy this book

This book has the most amazing characters, I really connected with them and their story. Each individual had an amazing story to tell and live throughout the book which meshed so very well. I would definitely recommend.

Josh

I’m Josh, 22. I enjoy reading mostly fiction books, specifically mystery and sci-fi books. I’m looking to find likeminded individuals to hopefully explore some different genres and expand my social circle.

Mairi

I am 70 years old but young at heart enjoy reading looking to meet up with some like minded people

Sheryl

I regularly turn off the TV/laptop and put down my mobile phone to read! I will read just about anything, but have a preference for sci fi/fantasy. Would love to meet with people to have a really good natter about books.

Eilidh

21, I’m looking to start a book club for cozy books (I read mostly romance but don’t mind reading others genres too) and make some new friends!

James

I love the written word and even spend hours reading YouTube comments (sad I know!) which are often hilarious and give insights into human psychology and snippets of peoples lives. I read various genres from authors such as Stephen King, George RR Martin, Sharon K Penman (Historical fiction), Charles Dickens, George Orwell, JD Salinger, Vince Flynn, etc. I particularly love smelly, dusty old books and have a small library at home. I would love to meet other like minded book worms and enthusiasts for the written word. I also love 3d movies and video games but books are my favourite.

James recommends:

Joyland

by Stephen King | Buy this book

One of his shorter novels. A murder mystery based in a theme park in the US. It is a coming of age tale packed with nostalgia of dreams and loves lost and although it has Scooby Doo vibes (which sounds terrible!) and The Catcher in Rye vibes and is not one of his better written novels. It is a great introduction to a writer who has been pigeon holed as a horror writer whereas his novels are more about the human condition than anything else. Don't be surprised if you end up in pieces reading Joyland. I've never read another author with the capacity to tug on my heartstrings like Stephen King. And he does nostalgia like no-one else. He is a genius of sorts!

Erin

I’m always a bit shy at first but once you get to know me I’m pretty laid back. I love films and tv, my cat Gus, my family and my partner. I’m teaching myself Spanish at the moment and have a tendency to overcommit to things. I hate raw tomatoes and rude people. I like being goofy and exploring new places, hope to make some lasting friendships.

Erin recommends:

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keys | Buy this book

This one really got me! A really interesting concept about a man with a mental disability undergoing a surgery to improve his intelligence. It was one of the first books that stayed with me for a long time afterwards and made me question my own character.

catherine

Hi I am a seventy year old an avid reader hoping to join fellow readers

Abbie

Looking to expand my book collection with other friendly people. I love all types of fiction books but I have a soft spot for novels that dabble in the macabre and horror of life.

Helen

I am Helen Keenan, 70 years old, friendly, outgoing and looking to expand my social circle, with like minded people. I enjoy reading, love a good murder mystery, but open to reading anything really.

Sam82

I’m looking for an evening book club in East Kilbride. My absolute favourite sorts of books to read are crime fiction, especially golden age style but I also love Anthony Horowitz. Aside from crime I do read quite a wide variety. Currently reading Mythos by Stephen Fry (late to the party, I know!)
