I mostly read thriller/crime type books. I like a strong female lead and really enjoy Frieda McFadden novels. Also I enjoy Harlen Coben crime novels. I’m a busy parent/teacher but always make time to read! Probably one book every 1-2weeks. Would like to meet up and chat about books.

The Nightingale

Typical recommendation, but worth the hype!!

Fiona

Hi. I am 54, love reading, am a huge book nerd. I enjoy most genres of books. I can read at lest a book a day, sometimes more if I have the time. Would love to meet like minded people who I can chat all things books with. It would be great to find a local book group where we could meet up on a regular basis. I live near Falkirk/Stirling and work in Lenzie so I can cover a good area.

Rebecca Leishman

Hi! I’m looking to join a book club around Falkirk/central Scotland 📚I am mid twenties I’m easygoing, enjoy a good chat, and like reading a mix of genres — especially anything with a bit of mystery or strong characters. Always up for trying new books too. Mainly just looking to meet new people, have good discussions, and get back into reading regularly 🙂 Let me know if you’ve got space or are starting a group!

Bethany

Hi, I am 29, I have gotten back into reading the past couple years, after loving reading as a child/teen. I have been going through lots of audiobooks on my commute. I have been enjoying many genres, mostly fiction such as fantasy, murder mysteries, 'cosy' novels, historical fiction etc., and some non-fiction, mostly autobiographies. Would love to find a relaxed local book club to meet people in this area and a nice cuppa

Tom Lake

by Ann Patchett | Learn more and buy

Wonderful if you enjoy character focused books. Follows a mother retelling stories of a memorable summer acting in a play to her daughters.

Nicola

I love reading and listening to audio books. I enjoy most books but I am really into phycological thrillers at the moment. I am enjoying books by Freida McFadden and Alice Feeney just now.

Joan

Early retiree. Love reading and would like to chat about books.

Nicolle

Looking to meet new people and I enjoy reading books

Molly

I am crazy for fantasy books! But open to other genres that may interest me. Open to having conversations about books, exchanging book recommendations and doing book swaps.

Rachel

I work in books so constantly talking about them, but often find myself wishing I had a group to chat about what I'm reading just for fun! Early 30s, would be great to connect with some bookish locals in Falkirk ☺️

Rachel recommends:

Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir | Learn more and buy

A book that really surprised me in 2025! Not at all something I'd usually pick up but the audio book came highly recommended. It's so well narrated and a brilliant story. Coming as a film with lovely Ryan Gosling this year too!

David

Own over 250 books and bored of talking to myself

Aurora

Im a 28 year old woman from Norway looking to find friends in the Glasgow/Falkirk/Stirling/Edinburgh area! I read just about anything, but my soft spots are classics and greek myths. Looking for a book club to get to meet new lovely people and read some great books at the same time 🙏🏻

Aurora recommends:

The Picture of Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde | Learn more and buy

Even if you have heard about the premise, it is still an intriguing story with interesting characters. Oscar Wilde is predominantly a poet and this is his only novel, and almost every sentence is like poetry. So vivid, colourful and stunningly beautiful. The whole book reads like silk imo

Kat

I have recently started reading more books so I am looking for a book club to meet new people who also enjoy reading.

Paul

I read a lot but I’m always on the lookout for genres outside what I’d normally pick. I reckon joining a book club is going encourage me to read more widely and find more books to enjoy.

KatyS

Hi Iam 41 recently found my love for reading again and looking for to join or start a book club in falkirk area. Open to all people interested would have to be at night. Interested in trying new genres I like Frieda mcfadden books, Kathy Reichs and Kristin Hannah so far.

KatyS recommends:

Never Lie

by Frieda McFadden | Learn more and buy

The story telling and twists did not see ending.

M

Hi! In my early 20’s looking for book friends to chat about books with. I love fantasy, crime, thriller and romance books, but I am open to new genre suggestions! ⭐️

VeeBeeBies

I just really want to rant and gush over silly little fictional characters and their bad decisions. —Eve (19), Sci-fiction, Dark fantasy, grimdark, slice of life, anything really so long as the character’s/world building is interesting or dynamic’s are explored in depth.

VeeBeeBies recommends:

Poppy wars- Dragon republic

by R.F.Kaung | Learn more and buy

Misfit crew, actually morally grey character’s, military strategy, weird spiritual abilities which make it totally awesome.

Megan

Hi, I’m Megan and a massive reader, and read everything and anything! I’m thinking about starting a monthly bookclub in Falkirk and wandering if anyone would be interested in this?

Emma

Hi I enjoy reading but have kind of got stuck in a rut recently and want to rediscover my love for it. Ideally I'd like to find a book club that meets during the day (school time ideally) as I have caring responsibilities that make evenings out difficult.
