Busy Mums Book Club

Hi! We are a group of busy mums that are determined to make more time for reading and are hoping to connect with other like minded people to meet up and discuss the book of the month! We are open to exploring lots of different genres but we are most interested in fantasy/romantasy, fictional crime thrillers and psychological thrillers. This is a new book club as of October 2025 and new members are welcome! The first book and date for meeting is to be decided in October with a plan to have our first meet up in November. We are located in Leicestershire. Hope to see you there! The Busy Mums Book Club X

AKV1

I am middle aged, work part-time, a reasonably keen reader, almost all non fiction, usually a book in my hand rather than an e-reader. Classic Travel writing, some biography or autobiography, well crafted history. Favourite books or authors: Long Walk to Freedom, William Dalrymple, Some of Louis Theroux's books, Travels of ibn Batutta, Serious by Mcenroe, to name a few examples. I'd like to meet people whose interests may not necessarily be the same as mine, for discussing and exploring what you read and why. Message me.

Paige

Im mid twenties, work long night shifts and struggle to make new friends because of my unsociable hours but I’ve recently started to fall in love with romantasy and typically enjoy crime books! I don’t really know what to expect from a book club but I’m eager to find out!

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

Everything! The dragons, friendships, character development.. I need the next book like yesterday

Gursi

I am trying to improve my communication skills and broaden my conversation flow and vocabulary. Reading books out loud is helping so I am trying to find other people to get some motivation from!

Literary masterpiece

Phoebe

Hi! I love getting lost in romance, fantasy, thrillers, webcomics and manga. I’m hoping to share the joy of reading by joining a book club and chat with others who love a good story as much as I do.

Phoebe recommends:

The Drowning Game

by L S Hawker | Buy this book

The Drowning Game is a fast-paced, suspenseful read with just the right amount of unease. I loved not knowing where the plot would lead—twists kept me guessing until the end. I devoured it in two days.

Sadhguru - UK - Conscious

Connect with seekers. Lets meetup, discuss books and make friends.

Waman Ghosale

Seeker, working on process and exploring cycles in life—spiritually. Business intelligence analyst graduate. I love self-improvement books (like Atomic Habits by James Clear), as well as kingdom-building, political intrigue, wuxia, and novels with smart and respectful leads (like Joy of Life by Mao Ni, Dimensional Descent, The Beginning after the End). Looking forward to meeting up, discussing books, and making friends.

Waman Ghosale recommends:

Karma

by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev | Buy this book

It is a good, multiple-time read that can help link our experiences with the author's insights, leading to a realization of concepts of consciousness. With each iteration, we can realize new things.

Books Hell YEAH

I read a number of fantasy books and classic books- not a heavy romance reader - would like to have a chat over books sometime. 20 years old

aidan

(20-she/her) i love reading a variety of different books but i’m an a sucker for a good lgbt fantasy book, i only just started getting back into reading so would love to make some friends with similar interests or just with some good recs :)

The song of achilles

by Madeleine Miller | Buy this book

yes i know it’s so over shared but god damn is it good. A day doesn’t go by i don’t dream of Millers wringing or the character of this book.

The seven husbands Of evelyn Hugo

by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Buy this book

I loved this one so much i really appreciated that the relationship was a little messy but you could see just how enamoured evelyn was. The polt was unexpectedly good. Overall great book.

Ally

(18) I enjoy reading a diverse range of genres but I have a natural tendency towards the classics, literary fiction, dystopian, science fiction, romance, and contemporary. I'm looking to make friends with people who love honest conversation and perhaps meet once or twice per month to discuss books together and drink coffee :)

Ally recommends:

Pride and Prejudice

by Jane Austen | Buy this book

I know it's not exactly what you'd call "niche", but there's a reason why it's widely acclaimed to be the best English romance novel of all time (and also one of my favourite novels of all time).

Bookworm

New to leicester. Looking to make friends and read more.
