Catherine (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Seeking a book club

I’m a total bookworm and book collector (I’m Learning these are two completely different things). I’ve been an avid reader since I was a child and I enjoy a wide range of genre, though crime fiction is my go-to. I’m a bit of an introvert but I’m trying to push myself to meet new people, so I’d love to join a book group or two and meet some like minded people.

Hi, I have always enjoyed reading but it is quite a solitary hobby. It would be good to meet with others who share the pleasure and to try new and different genres. I read detective, spy novels travel, family history and classics

ellie :) (North Shields)

Seeking a book club

I love reading from all genres but Fantasy in particular. I enjoy using goodreads/ bookstagram and book signings as a way to connect with people. I don’t know many readers IRL so I’d love to find some people to discuss literature and connect with.

Sharon (Blaydon-on-Tyne)

Seeking a book club

I’m a 50 year old women who enjoys a good thriller and have recently made it my mission to read more. It’s an achievement for me to read a book within a week due to confidence from having dyslexia. I would love to join a local book club or volunteer in a reading group to meet more local people too.

retired, but love reading which I have done since i was a small girl, and still get a thrill being surrounded by books . I live with my husband who has never read a book in his life but accepts that its a big part of my life. We both live with our son, daughter in law and grandson, at the moment and will soon be building our own little annex in their garden.

Hey everyone! My partner bought me a kindle for Christmas and I’m just getting back into reading. Super excited. I’m quite busy I’m a student nurse and mum of 4 so don’t get to read as often as I’d like so I would love some ideas!! I love a psychological thriller/ crime book I’ve recently read Killing floor by Lee child. However my taste in books is quite vast my fav book of all time is Jane Eyre.
