Pat E

Seeking a book club

I’ve been a member of book clubs for years(even started one when I lived in France) but haven’t found one locally since I moved to Haworth years ago. I’m now living in Beechwood and would love to join a local club that meets monthly- I’m a prolific reader!

Behind the Scenes at the Museum  by Kate Atkinson

It’s beautifully written and made me laugh out loud, plus its northern heroine resonated with me

Dan R

Seeking a book club

30 y/o based between Keighley and Skipton, looking for a new local book club to discuss books and meet new people. My preferred genres are science fiction, historical and adventure fiction, Gothic fiction, and some slipstream stuff. I tend to like novels that are recursive, or play around with narrative techniques and timelines. My other interests are in geography, travel and history so I sometimes read non-fiction about those topics. My other hobbies include hillwalking and book-collecting, and like to attend book fairs around the North West when I can.

Dan R recommends:

The Quiet Woman by Christopher Priest
The Quiet Woman
by Christopher Priest | Learn more and buy
Among the best books I've read in 2025, the best I can describe this is as a mystery set against a very restrained science fiction conceit. It reads more like a mainstream novel however, making it slipstream which I am a big fan of. Alternating between the PoV of two different characters, this novel makes use of the unreliable narrator to create an uncomfortable feeling in the reader, placing it firmly alongside Priest's other, more well-known works such as The Prestige and The Separation.
