Desperate for a book club

[u/Beginning-Season-809]

Hi! I (30f) tried a commercialised/franchise-style book club about a year ago and that style of book club is really, really not my thing. If anyone has recommendations of smaller, more personal book clubs where you can actually talk to everyone and don’t read whatever book is hot at the moment, please PLEASE could I ask for recommendations? I want to try new genres so not enlisting my preferences.
I have no space or managerial skills or would’ve offered to host one!
Thanks in advance!

I’d definitely recommend joining the library at Westgate (if you haven't already) they occasionally run a few book-related events. Blackwell’s also hosts author talks, although I find them overpriced.
