Seeking a book club

Im a young woman who is currently a student looking to expand my horizons. I’ve been a book work since I was young and would spend too much time in the library. I want o meet people who live reading too! I don’t discriminate but I’m just not a big self help book fan lol but I enjoy books like Efuru, Divergent futuristic fantasy novels.

ManoftheWord

Seeking a gaming group

I’ve been into D&D since 1979 when my Maths teacher allowed me to sit in while he DM’d an extracurricular games group at school. That’s my game of choice and I’ve always been a Dungeon Master. I love RPG Games and board games like HeroQuest. I collected many different RPG rulesets like RuneQuest, Call of Cthulu, Star Wars RPG, and many indie games. I’m a Dad, Granddad, writer and artist, ordained pastor, and musician. A cleric or paladin are my character classes!

Seeking a book club

Ive been reading since i was very young, the first 'adult' book was Catherine Cookson - The cinder path at around 11. I've read many different genres over the years and settled on fantasy - Give me a fairy, witch or werewolf and I'm happy! Would love to join a book club and people who also love books like me :) Im on a 52 book challenge for 2025 - which doesn't sound too hard... but the books im reading currently have an average 26 hours reading, so need some shorter books to top me up :)

Read-Up

Seeking a book club

Hello, I'm semi-retired, currently working as a teacher of English and befriender with asylum seekers in Stoke-on-Trent. I've been an avid reader ever since my dad put me on to Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men". As well as English, I did German and French at A level, which naturally broadened my reading horizon. I started writing short stories a while back and have had two published (in Prole and Tigershark magazines). I quite like the idea of disciplined reading (a book a month or whatever). My best friend is a reader, but he lives in Rotherham, so I would relish debating the merits/demerits of a "set" book closer to home and possibly make new friends along the way.

The Children's Book by A S Byatt
The Children's Book
by A S Byatt | Learn more and buy
Apart from the exquisite writing, seen from the view points of inter-related family members, it gives you a flavour of the cultural world from 1895 to the first world war. A lot of the characters come from privileged backgrounds but, for me personally, I was encouraged to see the rise of two working class siblings from Stoke-on-Trent in the fields of pottery and women's suffrage.

Seeking a book club

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?!

Kerry Leanne

Seeking a book club

I am 33 year old with a 7 year old lad, looking for a cozy, friendly book club to join or anybody who wants a new book friend just to have a laugh with a coffee and talk books! I enjoy a good book that gets me hooked! Thriller is a new fave genre of mine.

Adelaide
by Genevieve Wheeler | Learn more and buy
I loved this book, it’s definitely one of my favourites! A book about love and heart break, a woman who falls in love with an avoidant in the hope one day he might chose her. It covers a lot in mental health and the recovery of the womans emotions wellbeing! I loved it I definitely got sucked in but I think it was quite relatable.

The last book in the TOG series. It’s the most amazing ending to the journey you take with the characters throughout the first 6 books.

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