I've always loved reading since I was a child, namely every genre! I'm 23 now and have become pretty reserved to only reading psychological thrillers now, they're my fave genre. I've given other genres a go but can never seem to get into the story. I'd love to go out and socialise with others via a book club, I really enjoy meeting new people!

I’m 30 and have just got back into reading after a slump for a few years. Looking for a book club or to meet friends with similar interests. I’ve always been into ancient history and have a degree in Classics. I like sci-fi and post-apocalyptic fiction and now I’m on the romantasy hype!

I read a broad range of genres but crime and mystery are probably my favourites. I love to talk about books and am hoping to meet new people in Manchester central and south.

Scarlett
I tend to gravitate towards classic European literature and non-fiction (pre-Roman/medieval history, folklore, nature), but I’m interested in reading across a range of genres and learning from others’ interests too. It’d be really nice to bring my reading into a sociable setting and make some new friends over coffee, museum visits or book shopping trips ☺️

Michael
Hello all. Would like to find people to form a casual, social book club with. My tastes are eclectic: classic lit, poetry, contemporary American fiction, some sci-fi (Philip K. Dick, etc.), some fantasy (Tolkien and Peake, etc.), world lit, Japanese lit (Abe Kobo), essays, history, primary historical sources, some science, psychotherapy (I’m a trainee counsellor). I write weird fiction and poetry. I like novelty. My ideal book club is varied, occasionally arcane. I’m a squirrel chaser and I get bored reading the same sort of thing over and over. Hit me up if any of this interests you.

Deen
Hi, I am 24 year old guy looking to get into reading more - I'm mainly interested in literature subjected around romance, tragedy, thrillers and horrors - but open to new topics also. Based around Manchester/Greater Manchester so reach out if you want to start something hopefully productive and social!

AlexiaR
My name is Alexia im 24 years old and i have always had that curiosity for books but never had the patience for it and im pretty lazy when it comes to reading at all. I love that idea of spending the whole afternoon reading in a cosy space at home, as a good house rat. I would love to have a group to read with and to give me more of an incentive when it comes to reading as well as good books to choose from the experience of others. I love romance , fiction and romantic comedies and i am also a business psychology student which requires me to read a lot thus i would love to develop that patience for reading.
