Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm Lee, I live and work in Penrith. I've always loved reading, everything from Jackie Collins to Dostoevsky, (tho if I'm honest probably the former more!) At the moment I'm on with Peter May as his books are set in one of my favourite places - the Hebrides. I used to be in a book club at work years ago and really like sharing thoughts.

Kirkoswald Reading Group
Book club
Meets at The Crown Inn on Run by Nick Anderson Library service We are a mixed group who borrow our books from Cumbria Library Service, and meet about once a month, on a Wednesday evening, in a pub in our village. Our tastes are varied, and we all help to produce the longlist for the books that we will read. Our discussions are not terribly highbrow, and our only rule is that if you are not enjoying that months book, please put it down and read something else - life is too short to read books that you are not enjoying. We meet at: Kirkoswald, Penrith, Cumbria Accepting new members
