Ells (Sunderland)

Seeking a book club

Hey, i’m an avid reader, especially contemporary and literary fiction, I love any kind of book about morally-grey women, women who are off-putting or just a little bit weird e.g. Boy Parts by Eliza Clark. I also like reading non-fiction, particularly more political books, I love anything Andrea Dworkin. I’d love to find others with similar reading interests to myself.

Hi 👋 I’ve always been a reader, although after a long period of not reading I’m finding my love for reading again! I enjoy fantasy books and contemporary romance usually but always looking for recommendations!

Becca (Gateshead)

Seeking a book club

Hi! My name is Becca and I enjoy reading a mix of genres, typically switching between fantasy themed books and fiction! I was looking at starting/joining a small circle that gets together for a cuppa and reads short books of all different genres. Another idea - my background and interests centre around environmentalism, and if people are interested I would love to start a space specifically centered around that!

Crier's War

by Nina Varela | Learn more and buy

In short: It's a fantasy Duology that's Sapphic and full of action. More details... After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, Designed to be the playthings of royals, took over the estates of their owners and bent the human race to their will. Now, Ayla, a human servant rising the ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging the death of her family… by killing the Sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier. Crier, who was Made to be beautiful, to be flawless. And to take over the work of her father. Crier had been preparing to do just that—to inherit her father’s rule over the land. But that was before she was betrothed to Scyre Kinok, who seems to have a thousand secrets. That was before she discovered her father isn’t as benevolent as she thought. That was before she met Ayla. Set in a richly-imagined fantasy world, Nina Varela’s debut novel is a sweepingly romantic tale of love, loss and revenge, that challenges what it really means to be human.

Hilary (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Seeking a book club

I want my group to meet on zoom. I am at present in a book group via zoom but the group is shared zoom and actual meeting and l fi d that the hybrid set up does not work well. My interests are wide and varied but perhaps Scottish history and Latin. I am very elderly and fairly immobile, but fortunately with my wits. I live in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne. I have three adult children none of whom lives in the north east.
