Alisha

Iv always loved to read and Iv always wanted to join a book club. I honestly thought it was an American thing. Now that the pandemic has been over for a long time it would be good to meet like minded people face to face.

Flic

I am a single mum of two, recently rediscovered my love of reading across a host of genres. Would love to join a book club to meet people and chat about books

Bookscape Books Cropston

We are a book club just outside Leicester which meets on the third Thursday of every month. We are a mixed genre group and have a range of ages in our membership.

Bookish

I always have two books on the go, one I'm reading and one audiobook. I read historic fiction, mysteries, some classics/ modern classics and old fashioned thrillers, Daphne Du Maurier is a favourite. I often choose quirky novels by publishers like Persephone or Virago. I would like to find a friendly book group and other bookish people. (I'm a 30-something woman).

Rikki Anderson

I tend to read books that explore psychology, philosophy, and what it means to be human. I’m interested in stories that make you think about meaning, resilience, and how people make sense of difficult experiences. I enjoy discussing ideas and different perspectives, and I’m hoping to meet people who like deeper conversations about books rather than just quick reviews.

The Humans

by Matt Haig | Learn more and buy

A unique and often funny perspective on what it means to be human, told through the eyes of an outsider trying to understand our emotions, relationships, and contradictions. It mixes philosophy, humour, and vulnerability in a way that makes you appreciate the small things in life.

The Catcher in the Rye

by J. D. Salinger | Learn more and buy

A very honest look at alienation, identity, and the struggle to find your place in the world. Holden feels real rather than polished, and the book captures that uncomfortable space between adolescence and adulthood in a psychologically believable way.

Beatrice and Virgil

by Yann Martel | Learn more and buy

A strange but powerful exploration of how we try to understand trauma and suffering through art and storytelling. It’s symbolic, unsettling at times, and raises questions about how history and cruelty can be represented without losing their meaning.

justabadger

Just a badger. Reads books. Lifts weights. Overthinks existence. Probably drinking coffee while highlighting passages I’ll pretend I fully understood. I like philosophy, classic literature, psychology and anything slightly weird or thought-provoking. Joining to find interesting people, expand my reading list, and have actual conversations about books instead of just rating them out of 5.

I'm an avid reader in my 40s, looking to meet up with local people and chat about what we're reading. I love sci-fi, fantasy and horror most, but jump around genres a lot; this year I'm trying to catch up on classics I've missed.

The Happy Rickshaw Driver

I am an author and have recently released a book called "The Happy Rickshaw Driver". It is gaining some wonderful reviews. It is a short read and is inspirational fiction. It is based around a stress coach who internally is in turmoil due to marriage problems, mis behaving children, financial issues etc. A trip to India and a ride in a rickshaw transforms her outlook on life. My aim is to offer the book to readers.
