Jayden

Hi, I'm Jayden. Non-binary queer from Leicester. I'm looking for a book club to join. Happy to give anything a go, though I really enjoy reading LGBTQ+ books. Don't quite understand how this website works; thought we'd be able to see some sort of list of book clubs?! Or I'm missing something. My insta is @neurospicy.enby - Let me know if you know a good, friendly book club in Leicester :)

Biography d X

by Catherine Lacey | Buy this book

A brilliant book, intelligent and so broad in scope. It’s a real masterful intertwining of alternative, re-imagined history. Funny and poignant in parts.

Amy

The book of Hidden Things

by Francesco Dimitri | Buy this book

It had some really memorable and unexpected twists

AshleyRosa

I'm a 26 year old trans woman who loves satire, scifi, graphic novels and history books, looking for an inclusive reading group to help me get out a bit more and reconnect with reading for fun (I've been in a career with a lot of reading for a while so haven't had the time or energy to read really awesome books - hoping to get some good recommendations!)

AshleyRosa recommends:

Money

by Martin Amis | Buy this book

I really enjoy the unreliable first person narrator - it makes the book flow differently to anything I've ever read before (the narrator has consistent memory problems and lies frequently.) The book paints an incredibly emotional and sympathetic portrait of an incredibly unsympathetic character - it captures the feeling of spiralling out of control in a really vivid way from a first person perspective.

Sam

Hi, I’m Sam and I’m looking to join a book club that would like to meet up and discuss anything to do with romance books over coffee. Like fantasy, contemporary or even dark romance.

Sam recommends:

Aimee

I love everything romance, dark, contemporary, fantasy ... Meet new people, because early thirties and making new friends seems difficult.

Joe87

Hello! Looking to join a book club for a while, I really enjoy reading crime thrillers by James Patterson, PJ Tracy, Peter Jams etc. If there are any individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ would you be interested in starting a group reading LGBTQ+ novels ?

Play To Kill

by PJ Tracy | Buy this book

Lots of twist and turns and great writing.

A Little Bit Country

by Brian D Kennedy | Buy this book

A lovely easy ready (only look me 24 hours) of young men who meet by chance and have an instant spark, they face challenges over personal ambition and the classic of coming out and being in love and true to them selves versus the continuing with the status quo and living up to their family values but remaining gut wrenchingly in happy. Lots of funny moments as well as moment one who was a young gay man in the closet and resonate with too… I couldn’t but this book down.

Alun

Avid reader. Favourite genres being philosophical, history. Classics! I need to read more classics. I'm turning 30 and need to find more like minded people before I lose my mind.
