Toni (North Shields)

Seeking a book club

I'm a 37 year old housewife who enjoys reading fantasy such as dark academia, YA and dark romance. I enjoy Brandon Sanderson's various books including his adult series' and his YA ones, James Pattersons YA books as well as well known books such as Forth Wing. I also enjoy what some would class as children's books with authors such as Darren Shan, Garth Nix and Derek Landy. I enjoy dystopian books. I love exploring new concepts and new characters. I also watch alot of Anime as I feel like they're able to explore for concepts than regular TV does. Dislike biographies, mystery books and adult horror.

It follows 3 sisters who all have their own books in an interconnected series. if you love gossip girl & friends it’s very much alike. Tropes include: found family, friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, grumpy sunshine.

Toyin (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Seeking a book club

I live in Newcastle. I love reading, but haven't done so much reading outside academic and work related books. I am an author myself. But I want to get back into reading and think having a group will be helpful. Genres of interest are, christian faith, relationship building, wealth/money, and autobiography. I will like to connect with you if any of your genre aligns with mine.

It provides understanding on the person of Trinity in simple and non-confusing terms. It would be great for anyone who have questions about who the Trinity is, what it means, how it works, etc.

Eleanor (North Shields)

Seeking a book club

I’m in my 50s and am looking for people who would be interested in getting together once a month or so in a sociable setting for an evening book club. The aim would be to cover thoughtful and well-written classic or modern fiction. (I don’t generally enjoy romance, fantasy, science fiction or crime myself, so I’d want the focus to generally lean away from genre fiction). Ideally the venue would be in North Shields or Tynemouth, but I would consider alternating venues to suit everyone in the North Tyneside area. Any takers?

Elena (Gateshead)

Seeking a book club

Hi! I’m Elena, I’m 25 and recently moved to the area. I enjoy reading sci-fi, fantasy, romances and thriller. I also love writing and would love to publish one day :)
