Sandra

I've always loved reading it's a wonderful gateway to knowledge and great anticipation, I like detective stories but also a wide range of different genres, joining a book club with like minded people is a great way to meet people and discuss something we enjoy, I live in the southside of Glasgow but not adverse to join bookclub else where, contact me if you know any I can join

Gansey

I love a cheeky book reading session. I'm a guy who will read something just because the cover caught my interest. I love to just pick up a book without knowing anything about it. I love YA, Science fiction, Horror books, I can read romance but not overly keen. I'm keen to make friends as being AUDHD I actively struggle with this.

Robbie

Hi my name is Robbie, and I am interested in getting back into reading and would appreciate being in a group club because it would hold me accountable to actually complete the book. I enjoy reading self development books and neurology but open to reading just about anything! Right now I’m working in a solicitors office.

Austin

ever since i was a young boy i have been reading books and now into my late teens i have kept on the hunger to read. lately i have been reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, i think that the overall message of the book is to societal expectations and norms can lead to personal destruction and unhappiness. I would like to meet up at least once per month. I am into thriller/suspense, westerns, historical, young adult, and fantasy.

Natjeans

Looking to join a book club. Been an avid reader since I was a kid. Many photos of me sitting alone with books in school. As an adult I am less of an introvert and want to join a club to discuss books and make friends!

Erin

Hi I’m Erin! I was such a bookworm growing up but life/work got in the way. I’ve just recently got back into reading and want to expand my literary horizons. I’ll read everything and anything but I particularly enjoy classics, fantasy and crime. I’m 28 and have a ginger cat called Gus. I tend to be a bit shy but trying to get myself out there!

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.

Doubtfire

Hey everyone, I was an avid reader when I was younger ( my first job was even in a book shop). However, as I have got older life has got in the way and I have found excuses not to continue this. I am looking to get back into reading again, so much so I have bought about a dozen books to start reading. My favourites were always crime fiction, I have bought all Thursday Murder club books and I have bought some classics too. I have also picked up some political books and looking for a couple of other good fiction and non fiction.

Wolf Hall

by Hilary Mantel | Buy this book

The writers style is almost cinematic in its descriptions, & scene setting. It is also a great take on a well known story

Chloe

I was a big reader when I was growing up and as I’ve gotten a bit older life seems to have gotten so busy it’s sort of fallen by the wayside. I’d love to have a reason to pick up a new book each month and then meet up with people for coffee or a drink to discuss what we enjoyed about it! Fantasy is probably my fav genre but I also love fiction, some period/historical fiction and an open to some non fiction (mainly memoirs). I also enjoy some sci-fi! Hoping to meet a group of similarly interested people in their mix/late twenties and thirties ☺️

Emma

I'm trying to get back into reading and hope that meeting up regularly with others to discuss books will push me to stop dropping new books. I enjoy crime and thriller books, but I am open to reading anything! I wish to make new friends through reading books. I would like to meet at least once a month.
