RoshReads24 (Manchester)

Seeking a book club

Hi! I was an avid reader as a child and have finally gotten back into proper reading again this year (I’m 29). Counting down to tick 65 books read this year but am still only halfway through! Would love to join an intimate book club with quality discussions rather than a big group setting. I read all kinds of contemporary fiction and am currently reading Pachinko.

Anita St. Clair (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Seeking a book club

I am 65 and a carer I like reading. I have only in my later years found different styles of books but I love, romance, thrillers and love stories and books that entail history.

Anita St. Clair recommends:

The Seven Sisters Series

by Lucinda Riley | Learn more and buy

This is actually 7 books, I love Lucinda Riley’s style of writing which tells a historical based story, alongside a current time line. Love the journeys she takes you on with interesting characters that meet real life characters from history.

Icy (Ashton-under-Lyne)

Seeking a gaming group

18 yo Male trying to get started in DnD

Michael (Manchester)

Seeking a book club

I'm 32 and just moved to Greater Manchester. Currently on a long reading stint and trying to read 52 in 2025. I read fairly broadly, enjoying classics and contemporary novels. For me, the stranger the premise the better. I value being able to discuss fiction reading in general with anyone and I'm open minded towards different tastes.

Michael recommends:

War of the Worlds

by H.G. Wells | Learn more and buy

Wonderfully paced and highly imaginative with iconic scene unfolding one after the other. The imagery of Martian tripods blasting through Victorian era London is alone a feast for the mind.

Boy Parts

by Eliza Clark | Learn more and buy

The most fun I've ever had following the life of an absolutely terrible person. A protagonist that is as equally cruel as she is beautiful with an internal world saturated with media consumption, personal ambition and spitefulness.

Stoner

by John Williams | Learn more and buy

A novel that reveals the heroics and great tragedies of a quiet, everyday life; a reminder that every passerby is silently moving through their own timelines with triumphs and terrors.

Brutes

by Dizz Tate | Learn more and buy

A gang of mischievous, worrisome and often gross girls get drawn into a local missing person case. Delivered in the most purple of prose that make you feel the hot, sticky, overbearing atmosphere of urban Florida.
