Veronica (Cockermouth)

Seeking a book club

I'm moving to the area and I'd like to meet people who love to read. I mostly read sci-fi, fantasy and romance but other genres as horror, thriller, historical fiction and non fiction (like biographies, history and science) could be found in my bookshelves.

Philr (Whitehaven)

Seeking a book club

53 year old widower who has always loved reading since an early age. Never joined a book club bit feel it might be the right time as I've never talked about my thoughts on a book to anyone. Historical fiction, classics, Stephen King, John Connolly etc, etc, probably prepared to read anything if it provokes discussion!

Paul (Grange-over-Sands)

Seeking a book club

I am an author and also avid reader of fiction of pretty much any genre. I live in Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. Being honest, I am mostly looking for opportunities to join in with book groups if they want to discuss my debut novel - Joe with an E - which I think has lots of interesting themes to discuss around family, identity and gender-identity.

Lee (Penrith)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Lee, I live and work in Penrith. I've always loved reading, everything from Jackie Collins to Dostoevsky, (tho if I'm honest probably the former more!) At the moment I'm on with Peter May as his books are set in one of my favourite places - the Hebrides. I used to be in a book club at work years ago and really like sharing thoughts.

A fantastically engaging read, written straight from the heart

Cam (Barrow-in Furness)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi! I've been interested in the warhammer 40k lore for a while, and have collected minis slowly over a few years. I'd be interested in getting to learn the wargame side of things, and mainly just to have a good crack and socialize! My name is Cameron, and I mainly paint minis rather than play, but I'm looking to change things up!

Hi there! I'm just about to turn 28 years old (I'm a true virgo). I love reading and would love to find a local book club. I'm quite open to genre's, I'll typically read anything that's good!
