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.

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.
