Chapter 25 Book Club Bewertungen 

A lovely club with a welcoming atmosphere and a really great host! Made some great friends here and I always look forward to book club meets.

Our feedback and concerns are taken seriously and resolved instantly, and the host is always there to answer questions or sort out book deliveries.

Once in a while we do a blind book swap which is a cherry on top 🩷

I really enjoy my Mondays at book club. It’s a nice environment and talking books with like minded people is so much fun.

It’s also opened up my eyes to other genres and I love the different types of books we are assigned each month.

I pay £10 a month for my subscription and think it’s absolutely worth it.

(4.5) I attend the Richmond group and enjoy it very much! Our host is great and very welcoming when you’re new, and everyone is friendly. The only thing that would push my review higher is having a bit more structure to the evening, but it’s still fun as it is!

Absolutely love the book club. I'm in Wolverhampton, and the host is amazing. Always goes above and beyond. I don't know how she does it

I have been apart of the Wolverhampton club for over a year and I can honestly say it is one the best things I have done for my social life - my TBR on the other hand... ever growing book list. The organisation and members of the club are just incredible. Big love to Chapter 25!

I joined Chapter 25 in the hope of prioritising enjoying reading more, making some local friends and trying new books that I may have not ordinarily have read on my own. So far... every one of those boxes have been ticked! I love having a focused reading book each month, I love the variety and the monthly meetups are engaging, exciting and really enjoyable. Just what I wanted!

Amazing group! Lovely, welcoming and all round a great environment! I tell everyone to join. There's no pressure to read/finish the books, everyone is there just to have a good time.

I joined Chapter 25 Warrington Volume 1 when it launched back in 2024 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve made some amazing friends, and the monthly book discussions are always a highlight. I’ve also loved the extra events, including author Q&As and the Galentine’s celebration. It’s a welcoming, friendly community that brings book lovers together.

I’ve been in a chapter now for six months. The coordinator is lovely and friendly, the group are pretty open to chatting about the book. However, the books chosen are sometimes hardbacks or paperbacks costing £9. I don’t like screens or audiobooks so I find it very annoying that books seem to be chosen without considering whether they are readily affordable or in the library. I’ve not been for a few months now as I’ve been on library waiting list. We pay £10 a month. I don’t think I should be struggling to get the book each time. Also why I see you do lots of online events, most people I met said they joined so they could make friends locally in person - surely that’s where you should be focusing money and efforts. The venue is free and I gather you dont pay the coordinators but your a for profit business. I will probably leave soon due to lack of help securing affordable book copies.

I have previously given a good review and my local club and the host was fantastic. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the customer service side of things. You can’t cancel via your online account so I had to email which I did on 17/05. I didn’t get a response until the 20th basically saying they will cancel my account in 7 days and trying to encourage me to stay. I replied again on the same day saying please cancel my account. On 21/05 I emailed again saying I was worried about being charged again and I want them to cancel my account. I emailed yet again on 24/05 and again on 27/05 when, alas, I was charged for another months membership. I’ve never had a response to any of my further emails. I’ve given ten days notice of my cancellation, emails go ignored, I’ve been charged again and almost put me into financial hardship because I couldn’t afford that payment on that day. I’m really disappointed in this after such a good experience previously, my emails of disappointment have been ignored, they’re quite happy for you to just continue being charged despite sufficient notice. For this reason I would never recommend this to anyone and be very vigilant if you want to cancel. I will continue to pursue a refund for the extra month I have been charged for but I won’t hold my breath

I don’t feel so bad giving 1 star after reading all of the other 1 star reviews as I had the same experience as most of them. The first meeting was a joke. No introductions, too many people crammed in and not in the slightest bit welcoming. Nobody else had read the book of the month so no discussions about it. It felt like a little clique where I was eavesdropping on stranger’s conversations, which quite frankly had nothing to do with books.
I thought the WhatsApp group was to keep us informed of book club related information. Instead, the content left a lot to be desired, strongly resembling a Facebook page where there was a lot of nothing actually being discussed. Any discussions about books amounted to a record of what page/chapter they were up to. Other than that, it was about reality TV programmes or football!
I’ve since joined another book club, with groups of 10, so you can actually have discussions about the books you’ve read. It is arranged through the library so they can provide enough copies of the book with no cost. The only thing you pay for is refreshments. I came away from the first meeting feeling very stimulated, despite having different opinions about the book. Really looking forward to the next meeting and pleased I didn’t waste any more money.

Very friendly atmosphere and sense of community at the monthly meetings. We have also had an event out with the club recently and it was a great experience. Tara our host is a bright , bubbly and friendly person who is always full of enthusiasm for the club, we all love her

Tara is such a welcoming host and always very organised which makes it feel very easy and smooth. She is great and going round groups in a large book club and hearing everyone’s opinions

I've only just joined Chapter 25 Book Club, but I'm already so excited to be here! I'm looking forward to diving into new books and most of all, meeting so many wonderful bookish people — I have a feeling this is going to be a great reading journey!

Absolutely love going to book club each month. I have the most wonderful people and cannot thank chapter 25, and my club host Tara, enough

Most amazing club I have ever been a part of! I absolutely loving being a member of the Chapter 25 book club, it has gotten me to read books that Normally I wouldn't even glance twice at. It encouraged me to try reading an audio book as I had so many to read so decided to try reading in a different format. The community and warmth from the club is impeccable. I was so nervous walking into my first book club meet as I didn't know anyone it was all so new to me I didn't know what to expect, but I walked in and was so welcomed by everyone it was amazing. I felt like I was finally in a club I belonged to. Thank you for letting me a part of your community!

I was really nervous during my first meeting but I was made to feel really welcome and everyone was so warm and accepting of all view points. You are made to feel like you can give your opinion even if it differs with the majority of the group. Virtual meet ups are also available for those who can’t be flexible enough to attend face to face meet ups. You get so much included each month for your money including bonus sessions on various things such as crafting, painting and genre specific sessions as well as author Q&As and also a loyalty scheme where you get gifts along the way. I would highly recommend this book club to anyone and everyone

I always wanted to join a bookclub but was really nervous to do so. Joining Chapter 25 was a big step out of my comfort zone but I immediately felt at ease and now it is my favourite time of the month. I love that at each meet up, we are sat in smaller groups so that we all have a chance to share our thoughts and this is less overwhelming than one big group! Everyone is so friendly and I love that the hosts help you to sit with different people each month, and encourage people to move for activities where appropriate. The questions on the table are a great starting point for discussion and the host comes round to chat to everyone and help prompt discussion where needed. I've made genuine friendships through the club and would recommend it to anyone who is considering it!

The group is very friendly. There are lots of good book recommendations. A nice variety of different book genres are recommended.

I joined to meet like mined people, make new friends and choose and discuss books of differing genres. This wasn't the case, I wasn't made to feel welcome at first meeting, everything is at your table so you dont get to mingle and meet others, there's no discussion with everyone involved. So far I've paid for 3 months and there has only been 1 meeting in this time.. I feel very let down and totally ripped of. A lot is geared up for online. I dont feel you really get anything for your money. From emails I sent explaining how I felt this is run as a business and not taking people and feelings into consideration.
