Description
Welcome to the LJMU Book Society! 📚
Whether you’re a lifelong reader, have recently rediscovered your love of books or find your next read through BookTok, there’s a place for you here. Our members have a wide range of tastes, from romance, fantasy and historical fiction to thrillers, horror and non-fiction - and we’re always open to discovering something new.
About Us
Our Book Club is at the heart of the society, giving us the chance to read a book together each month and meet up for in-depth discussions - whether you loved the book, hated it or simply have a lot to say about it. But the book club is just one part of what we do!
Throughout the year, we run a variety of bookish socials and activities alongside our monthly meetings. Expect everything from book-themed crafts and games to themed socials and collaborations with other societies.
Whether you want to debate your latest fictional obsession, discover a new book for your endless TBR or just enjoy a social with fellow book lovers, we’d love to have you join us! 💕
Key Information
All our socials are advertised on our WhatsApp group and Instagram page. Send us a message through @LJMUBookSociety25 (linked above) to be added and up to date with our latest, and discuss your recent read or recommendations.
Why Us?
Looking for a way to meet new people, make friends and enjoy your love of books? The LJMU Book Society is a friendly and welcoming community where you can get involved as much or as little as you like.
Joining us gives you the opportunity to meet new people and make friends in a relaxed environment with others who share your interests. Whether you’re looking to find your university community, try something new or simply have fun, there’s plenty of opportunities to get involved.
Being part of the society also means getting the chance to try things you might not normally do. From collaborating with other LJMU societies to supporting local charities through fundraising, we love creating experiences that go beyond the books we read.
Most importantly, there’s no pressure to be a “perfect” reader. You can be someone who reads constantly, someone who only picks up a book occasionally or someone whose TBR seems to grow every day. As long as you love books or want to be part of a community, you’re welcome here 💕
