I’m 53, working as a nurse for the NHS. Finally making the time to read again, I’ve forgotten how it’s an escape from an often busy, stressful life 🙏, love to meet new friends who can expand my reading list, it’s normally crime, forensics and the occasional comedy for balance

Will Robbie series - 5 books

by David Baldacci | Buy this book

Each book can be read independently but the characters develop over the series. Good attention to detail and excitement making you want to keep reading. I typically read each book over 1-2 days

I’m over 50, I enjoy reading crime, thriller and memoirs. I want to expand the genres that I read which I think a book group could help with.

Educated

by Tara Westover | Buy this book

Beautifully written, raw, honest and you feel the emotions as they do.

Lesley (Kilmarnock)

I am an author of adult fiction fantasy and my new book is about to be published. My book is inspired by Twilight by Stephanie Meyers but it is centred around a female vampire that moves to Scotland Glasgow and mixes in with the locals, encounters war and conflicts, then journeys up to the north through Loch Lomond and the Cairngorms to find love and romance. I love fiction fantasy and would like to share my experiences with other enthusiasts
