Tendy

Seeking a book club

A Little About Me I’m looking to rekindle my passion for reading and reconnect with the joy I used to find in getting lost in a good book. I’d love to meet other readers who enjoy sharing books, exchanging thoughts and ideas, and having meaningful conversations over a lovely cup of tea. I particularly enjoy romance, murder mysteries, crime, and historical or educational books. I’m open to discovering new authors and genres too, and I’m hoping to find a friendly, relaxed group where we can read together, have a good chat, and simply enjoy the experience of being book lovers. I’m really looking forward to discovering new stories, meeting fellow readers, and hopefully reigniting my love for reading along the way. πŸ“šβ˜•β€οΈ

I love popular science, science fiction, fantasy, and thrillers but I'm happy to read anything if it's interesting and well-written. It would be great to meet some Hook locals and talk about books!

This book blows your mind over and over again. It;s filled with amazing examples of the myriad of ways different species have evolved to sense the world, and how the way that we perceive what's around us shapes us.

I can happily read anything but can typically be found sitting somewhere warm with a cup of tea and a murder mystery, fantasy or thriller.

Mark in Hook

Seeking a book club

I like fiction and non- fiction, poetry, literature and drama. I tutor English literature and language but try to push myself to read new authors and genres as well as my favourites. These include Hilary Mantel, John Irving and Steinbeck, Benjamin Myers, WG Sebald, Sickens, Auden, Armitage...in fact any writer that writes well. Currently on the reading pile is Francis Spurford, Michael Igniateff and right now, bought today, John Lewis Stempel's , ' England, a natural history. ' I'd like to share my enthusiasm for places visited and explore new places with readers of whatever interest and persuasion. I work in local Government building social housing, follow politics and current affairs and have a sizeable library in my garden office, acquired when the pandemic changed our working life routines for ever.

The intensity of the gentleness ofvthe writing, generous in its sharing of an age of watching, thinking and writing, beautifully phrased, accessible and often leaving a lasting feeling of knowing the writer
The Russian Album
by Michael Igniateff | Learn more and buy
A very personal and articulate insight into a lost generation of Rissians from the 19th and 20th century, full of larger than life characters who were real, impressive and ultimately sad in their demise

I’m an 19yo introverted bookworm looking to make some bookish friends! I love romance, fantasy and dystopian novels but will give anything a go as long as it’s fiction!
