Becky (Manchester)

Seeking a book club

I’ve recently moved the Greater Manchester Area and started reading again! I love thriller novels and romance/drama. I am also open to other genres, I find I can really get into it as long as it’s a good book. I love to chat about a good book but currently I am not apart of any book club, but I would like to start one! I would be willing to organize a book club in the Manchester area if anyone is interested. Please feel free to get into contact with me!

This book left me with my jaw on the floor. It is my most recent thriller read, and I could not put it down. I’ve read another book by this author and I have to say the twists and turns in his story leave me speechless.

I've participated in a few DND one-shots and a campaign, but very interested in getting into tabletop games more, mostly DnD. Looking for a group who doesn't take itself too seriously and is welcoming to beginners.

belleanna (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Seeking a book club

I am a woman in her mid-twenties and an avid reader of all genres, but I rarely find someone to talk about books with! I would love to have a group of people to chat with regularly and also meet in person occasionally too if possible. It would be a lovely way to make new friends and share my love of books and literature! Please contact if this seems like something you’d be interested in!

This is a powerful and moving book about loss, oppression and the power of sisterhood and the strength of love even in the hardest times.
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
The Lies of Locke Lamora

This was a recent high-fantasy read. The urban fantasy world building is incredible and the prose is beautiful whilst still being action packed. The characters are unforgettable and the bonds between them are the core of everything that happens. Would highly recommend.

Boxaboo02 (Manchester)

Seeking a book club

I absolutely love escaping into a good fantasy book, especially with romance in, I also enjoy a good romance book or a thriller, although I do mainly stick to romantasies. I’m looking to join a book club because I have nobody to talk about books with, nobody I know reads the kind of books I love, so it would be great to connect with people who do. I have also struggled my whole life at making friends, so just connecting with people in general would be an amazing experience.

Sakred88 (Manchester)

Seeking a book club

35F here, and I guess I'm looking to join a book club/group to nerd out with like-minded people. I do tend to lean more towards the fantasy genre and the sub-genres that fall under it (cosy fantasy, progression fantasy, litRPG etc) but I'm open to anything really and always happy to discover a new gem that I may have otherwise overlooked.

Whatgumpreads (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Seeking a book club

Making friends in your 30s seems almost impossible and I'd love to have more friends who enjoy reading, looking for a book club that meets up in person rather than online. I'm 33 and I love reading thrillers, my favourite series is The Collector Series by Dot Hutchison. I'd like to explore more horror after reading Left to You by Daniel Volpe, I read it over 2 years ago and I still remember every detail, which is very rare for me! Outside of books I'm an avid football and cricket fan, I love live music (just got back from Download festival and my feet still hurt) and I've been teetotal since December 2020.

Goths that read bookclub (Manchester)

Book club

We’re a small group of alternative women between the ages of 25-30 who love to read! We meet up once a month in Manchester City centre to discuss the book of the month. We all pick a book each which then goes into a random wheel generator to determine what book to read each month, that way we all get to read something we recommended! We read a mix of genres including horror, mystery, fantasy, romance. We’d love to grow our bookclub and get more girls involved! You don’t have to be alternative or goth, we just thought it was a funny name considering we all are a bit alternative!
