CatoCally

Hi everyone! I am a huge bookworm and I’m about to embark on year 2 of an English Lit degree at age 33! I’d love to set up a book club where we can all share our love of reading and push outside of our comfort zone and explore different genres. )My personal faves are horror, lit fic and thrillers). I’d also love to connect with like minded people and make some new friends because let’s face it, it’s hard as a grown up. I’m local to Walsall/Wolverhampton area so drop me a message and we can go from there ☺️

I love readying true stories and thriller! I am a slow reader and trying to get back into it and have some me time! Looking for a book club close to Walsall or willing to set a group up if I can get enough interest :)

Clare

I enjoy classic and cult literature, and also some non fiction, especially the OUP very short introduction series, and self development books. Some of my favourite writers: Solzhenitsyn, Graham Greene, HGWells. At the moment I'm rereading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. I would love to meet other like minded people, and have a chat over a coffee.

The Witness

by Nora Roberts | Buy this book

Drama, thriller, comedy, friendship, romance.....what's not to love?!

Emily

I enjoy reading thriller and suspense books, and I am hoping to join a group/meet like minded people who enjoy the same thing.

Ali

Hi, I'm 25 years old and just got back into reading. I used to read a lot of Crime and Fantasy Romance but this year have gotten into Science Fiction a lot more. I'm mainly interested in meeting new people across the West Midlands and finding new stories across any genre.

Children of Time

by Adrian Tchaikovsky | Buy this book

This is probably the best pure science fiction book I have read. Each pov is of a scope that is hard to get right and each for different reasons and yet Adrian has nailed it.

Babel

by R.F. Kuang | Buy this book

I have only just finished this book so my opinion may yet change, but right now it feels like a wholly unique story. The subject matter itself, I've never seen so directly tackled in a "fantasy" like this, while the worldbuilding must've been hell to write. As a monolingual the use and manipulation of language in the book I was captivated by and really sets it apart from pretty much every other "magic" system I've ever seen before.

The Two Towers

by J.R.R. Tolkien | Buy this book

An obvious literary masterpiece of a series, but what struck me finally reading the series was that despite TLOTR's reputation for its 1000s of years of history and detailed legendarium and all, the trilogy itself is a pretty well-flowing, not overly self-obsessed story. While a lot of modern fantasy has become obsessed with its own world, in these books the world is there to explore, but it's not getting in the way of the story itself. It makes it a much better read and makes it so much easier to appreciate the story and characters.

The Magician King

by Lev Grossman | Buy this book

The "Narnia but bad" story is so common in fantasy but this is so great in a completely different way to the TV show.

Shelby

Hi I’m Shelby. I am looking to make new friends and discuss books. My favourite genre is horror and fantasy.

rida

Hi, I'm looking to make some new friends and talk about books. I enjoy most genres, but I especially love fantasy and sci-fi.

Katie

Hi! I moved to the west midlands nearly a year ago and am looking to make friends and settle more into the area, and to have some external pressures to actually finish my books! I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy books best, but honestly I'm willing to give any genre a go at least once. Looking for other people to meet up with every so often to chat, knit and discuss book emotions with.

Record of a spaceborn few

by Becky Chambers | Buy this book

It's such a wonderful book talking about humanity, home and community in a way that I just love.

hajra

Hi there! My name is Hajra, I am looking for some friends to get together and talk about books over a coffee and a cheeky little treat. I love reading fantasy, romance and thriller, and basically anything else.

hajra recommends:

An Ember in the Ashes

by Sabaa Tahir | Buy this book

If you are looking for a book that has romance, fantasy and little smut this is the book for you. I was hooked from page one, Sabaa Tahir has such beautiful writing that encapsulates you into another world. it has drama, suspense, comedy, and most of all Elais.

Hollie

I’m looking to find a book club

Deano

I am a 72 year old lady who loves reading and would like to join a club with people to discuss a book after reading

RaiReads

I like all genres of books, at the moment I am enjoying the court of thorns and roses series.

Amanda

Hi, I'm Amanda. I love reading, always have. I am open to reading anything and find my choices reflect how busy work is, sometimes a gritty thriller is great other times I just need a bit of fluff that doesn't require too many brain cells to work hard. I am also looking to expand my friendship groups with people who have similar interests.

Hev_reads

Im Heather and I’m 34. I am and have always been an avid reader. I love any kind of book but very much into fantasy, fae, Sarah J Maas vibes at the moment. I also love a good who dunnit. I’ve wanted to join a book club for as long as I can remember, a new year seems the perfect time. I’d love to meet other bookish people to chat to as I don’t have many readers around me and to debrief after I finish a really good book!

Tower of dawn

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

It’s part of an amazing series, and there is such great development of characters in this who had previously not had a massive amount of book time.

Sweetpea

by C. J. Skuse | Buy this book

The writing in this is superb, very funny at times and verges on ‘should I really be laughing at this?!’ 🫤
