Mandy

Hi, I’m Mandy, somehow 61! and live in Trentham. I have loved reading books all my life from young literature at a very early age to the fascinating Tudor wives of Henry V111 now and so much in between. I find that I don’t consistently read as much as I’d like to and so I am keen to find a book club to meet new friends, encourage me to read more and share this precious hobby.

Ollie

I adore horror books and would love to meet like-minded folks to discuss all things dark and spooky.

Boys in the Valley

by Philip Fracassi | Learn more and buy

A superb blend of plot and character, borrowing elements from The Exorcist and The Lord of the Flies with some truly horrifying scenes.

Rebecca

24 years old, getting back into reading and trying to build a bit of a social life!

Rebecca recommends:

Gone Girl

by Gillian Flynn | Learn more and buy

One of those thrillers that’s hard to put down - the film adaptation is great too!

Looking For Alaska

by John Green | Learn more and buy

This was my favourite book as a teenager and definitely deserves a feature here.

The Handmaid’s Tale

by Margaret Atwood | Learn more and buy

This is a book I fell in love with after reading it in college for one of my A-Levels. Moving, empowering and infuriating all in one. Also has an incredible TV series adaptation!

Thriller girly

I enjoy all things thriller, crime and slight horror. I love a twist that makes me question what I’ve read or has my jaw on the floor! Wanting to join or help set up a in person book club

This is my Goodreads review What.a.wild.ride 😮 Honestly such a good book! Genuinely wanted to keep reading more and more and was determined to finish it today! Highly highly recommend

Caitlin1

I love reading, actually getting into being a writer. Want to get to know some likeminded people who love books as much as I do. I mainly read crime, thrillers, and fantasy but willing to try new genres.

Shambo

Eclectic Reader Seeking Literary Adventure Partners! Are you someone who dives into multiple books at once, jumping between worlds and genres with enthusiasm? I'm an avid reader with diverse tastes, currently exploring the poignant storytelling of Christy Lefteri's 'The Book of Fire' while also immersing myself in young adult fantasy with Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series (just finished 'Cinder' and eagerly anticipating the next installment!). I'm looking to connect with fellow book lovers who share my passion for varied storytelling – whether it's contemporary fiction, fantasy, or anything in between. Hoping to find a group where we can: - Share our reading journeys and discoveries - Motivate each other to reach our reading goals - Discuss different perspectives on the same book - Create a welcoming space for all genres and reading styles If you're also juggling multiple books across different genres and looking for a community to share your literary adventures with, let's connect! After all, our TBR piles aren't getting any smaller, but they're more fun to tackle together! Who's ready to embark on this bookish journey alongside me?!

Hi I'm George(24), I've just recently got back into reading. I primarily read fantasy and sci-fi but I do also enjoy branching out to other genres.

Lesley

I love reading, I'd like to meet like minded people as my husband works away 4/5 nights a week and all I seem to do when he's away is just bring work home! I'm 51 and will pretty much read anything that grips my attention.

Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah and like to read but find making time to read tricky! I’d like to join a group, discuss books and broaden my reading style.

Kate

Hi I'm 29 and I'm looking to get back into reading after a long while and looking to meet some new people along the way to share the reading journey with 😊

Laura

Looking to meet new people and have interesting conversations about books. I mostly enjoy fantasy and historical fiction but I also read comedy, romance, crime, old children's books and non-fiction. I'm 36, work full-time time so would love to meet up in the evenings, and I'm recovering from some health issues so really looking to refocus my life on the things I enjoy.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell

by Susanna Clarke | Learn more and buy

Big sprawling historical fantasy. Harry Potter written by Jane Austen. Funny, moving, fascinating and so very well-written.

ChaosPixie

My name is Jade, I am 37, vast approaching 38. I am really keen on joining a book club, to help motivate my reading again after having a sizeableprriod of time in a reading slump, to meet new friends and to branch out from my typical reading genre preferences. I am having trouble locating a book club that has any spaces available, coild anyone please recommend a group, provide contact info fod a potential group or maybe point me in the direction of where it is I need to be searching online, as opposed to my simply searching 'Stoke-on-Trent bookclubs', as this isn't getting me very far! I used to absolutely love reading, I would fly through books at a rate of knots, and it really was a great escape for my mind. I really would love to reignite my love for this hobby, once again! Help me book worms!! X

James

I'm 22 and having finished my undergraduate and planning to return to the area for my Masters now without the social connections I had before I'm looking to meet like-minded people who love to read! I'm into all things fiction and would love to get to meet some new faces!

The Thursday Murder Club

by Richard Osman | Learn more and buy

Having read this during lockdown it really brought back my interest in reading, not having read for so long. It clicked with me massively being based down in Tonbridge Wells which I grew up not far from. The characters have their differences in personality which really come through on the pages. Every book in this series I've just adored!

Four Seasons in Japan

by Nick Bradley | Learn more and buy

This is what I'm currently reading! About halfway through and really loving it so far. I've never had a huge interest in Japan but the writer really makes you care about these characters, whether it's the 'real life' characters or the 'book in a book' characters. It flows wonderfully and super easy to read.

Recent book enthusiast

Hi! I’m hoping to develop my reading habit again. I’m interested in the romance and fantasy genre of books. I love physical copies, but for lack of space, I’m not able to build my personal library.

Quinlan

Im a 37 year old female who loves reading fantasy novels. I do have autism which makes daily life challenging but I work full time for the NHS and love losing myself in world's I can understand :)

House of flame and shadown

by Sarah J Maas | Learn more and buy

Excellent 3rd book in a trilogy. Fabulous characters and world building

Raich

I like thrillers and fast paced book. But I am open to most genres except biography and history.
