Josh

Seeking a book club

I’m Josh, 22. I enjoy reading mostly fiction books, specifically mystery and sci-fi books. I’m looking to find likeminded individuals to hopefully explore some different genres and expand my social circle.

Sheryl

Seeking a book club

I regularly turn off the TV/laptop and put down my mobile phone to read! I will read just about anything, but have a preference for sci fi/fantasy. Would love to meet with people to have a really good natter about books.

Eilidh

21, I’m looking to start a book club for cozy books (I read mostly romance but don’t mind reading others genres too) and make some new friends!

James

Seeking a book club

I love the written word and even spend hours reading YouTube comments (sad I know!) which are often hilarious and give insights into human psychology and snippets of peoples lives. I read various genres from authors such as Stephen King, George RR Martin, Sharon K Penman (Historical fiction), Charles Dickens, George Orwell, JD Salinger, Vince Flynn, etc. I particularly love smelly, dusty old books and have a small library at home. I would love to meet other like minded book worms and enthusiasts for the written word. I also love 3d movies and video games but books are my favourite.

Joyland

by Stephen King | Learn more and buy

One of his shorter novels. A murder mystery based in a theme park in the US. It is a coming of age tale packed with nostalgia of dreams and loves lost and although it has Scooby Doo vibes (which sounds terrible!) and The Catcher in Rye vibes and is not one of his better written novels. It is a great introduction to a writer who has been pigeon holed as a horror writer whereas his novels are more about the human condition than anything else. Don't be surprised if you end up in pieces reading Joyland. I've never read another author with the capacity to tug on my heartstrings like Stephen King. And he does nostalgia like no-one else. He is a genius of sorts!

Erin

Seeking a book club

I’m always a bit shy at first but once you get to know me I’m pretty laid back. I love films and tv, my cat Gus, my family and my partner. I’m teaching myself Spanish at the moment and have a tendency to overcommit to things. I hate raw tomatoes and rude people. I like being goofy and exploring new places, hope to make some lasting friendships.

Erin recommends:

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keys | Learn more and buy

This one really got me! A really interesting concept about a man with a mental disability undergoing a surgery to improve his intelligence. It was one of the first books that stayed with me for a long time afterwards and made me question my own character.
