The Book Club (Washington)

Book club

A group for people who enjoy reading and want to gather to discuss theories and thoughts of the latest book read. Minimum 1 meeting per month. The first meeting will be to discuss what books we would like to read, how often we would like to meet up and it will be in a local cafe to the town centre. All ages and genres welcome :)

Vicki (North Shields)

Seeking a book club

I'm an avid book reader - and like pretty much everything (once an English Lit girly, always an English Lit girly) huge Joan Didion fan and love a great memoir by someone odd, and fiction of almost all genres. I do have a hard time with badly written smut, but devour it all the same. Looking to meet new people, have a chatter box and giggle about books with new pals.

Gwen (Blaydon-on-Tyne)

Seeking a book club

I’ve loved reading since childhood & now have more time to indulge. I’ve read different fiction genres from thrillers, mystery, occasional easy going chick lit, but have been enjoying historical fiction for a while. I am fairly new to the area & looking to find a local book group to chat about books we read & broaden my horizons, socially & in literature.

Gwen recommends:

The Women

by Kristin Hannah | Learn more and buy

This is about the young women who served as nurses in Vietnam. Thrilling, engaging, moving & eye opening to a world most of us will never experience. Highly recommended
