Hi is anyone interested in joining a book club? I've been trying to find one for a while but they're all either massive online communities, totally silent and dead, very niche genres, or require a paid subscription. I'm thinking of something that's a bit of a smaller group, we can post here if it's allowed or in a private sub I will create on Reddit, and maybe even do Zoom/teams meetings if people would like that.

For me, 40s F, it's cliche but I really enjoy a good psychological thriller or crime/murder mystery. Don't mind a bit of supernatural, beach feel good reads, enjoy some feminist themes, sometimes historical, sometimes classic. Cannot get into sci fi or fantasy! Am happy to be the one to choose a monthly book or take it in turns to nominate the next read.

If anyone's interested please reply and I'll try to figure it out!

If anyone who has commented here still wants to join, we’ve just started our Sept book but plenty of time. Drop me a DM and I’ll reply with the link :)

How do I do a dm? I'm on mobile app version

I kind of get your anxiety! But..... It's a book club.... You're not joining a Facebook group for foot fetishes .If you're recognised, Shirley from number 12 knows you like reading... 🤓big whoop! 😃

Thank you! I needed to hear that lol x

Hi, I'm not sure how to DM you. Please can I join? Thank you

sashh · 03/09/2024 08:30

I need to get back in to reading, I have somehow got out of the habit.

Can I make a request? I'm unable to work so I'm on a low income, can the books picked be available on Kindle for 99p?

If someone is starting one on MN - I'm in. Please share the link.

Peaceandquietandacuppa · 02/09/2024 22:32

Interested! I hardly get a chance to read so having a reason to finish a book would be great.

Halloumiheaven · 02/09/2024 22:30

hi2416 · 02/09/2024 05:56

I got your link for joining book so thank you! I know I sound silly but I’m scared to click on it incase I know anyone in RL! I know it’s silly but I have anxiety so might not make sense.
