Genna (Stockton-on-Tees)

Happy Little bookworm, mum of 2 (plus a cat) and lover of food, wine and travel, looking to make connections with like minded book lovers for friendship and book recs. I will read most things however find my favourite genres are thriller, crime, a bit of horror and currently lots of fantasy/YA type stuff - think SJM and Rebecca Yarros. All time favourite author still remains Stephen King however !! would like to meet a group or individuals to chat books and life with, would be happy to do a walk and talk, coffee shop hang out or something less "peopley" (think online catch up).

Insomnia

by Stephen King | Buy this book

This was my first Stephen King book when i was about 12, his story telling and world building was like nothing id ever read before and i was hooked. The characters are relatable and likeable and you become so attached especially to the MC. I found the story unlike any other and have gone back and done a few re-reads which is unusual for me.

Chris (Redcar)

I would like to broaden my reading which is mainly books in translation, historical fiction or re-reading the classics. My favourite novel as a child was Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

The Door to Door Bookstore

by Carsten Henn | Buy this book

Easy-reading, set in a European town, not your typical character casting (72 year old book salesman and a nine year old child in a yellow raincoat). Heart-warming story, well-written.

Tobie (Middlesbrough)

Hi I'm Tobie, a Middlesbrough native bookworm and nature enthusiast, who loves absorbing as many books as possible from the comfort of my mini library (bedroom). I'm down for whatever genre, but I do enjoy fantasy, sci-fi and the occasional political feminist book. My favourite authors overall are David Attenborugh, Sarah J. Maas and Lucy Score. I love adventure, so I'm happy to meet wherever is most convinent for all parties. Unfortunately, I am busy most days (bummer, I know), so I'm mainly accessable via online discussions. Can't wait to meet you, maybe we'll share similar taste? :)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

by Stephen Chboosky | Buy this book

A beautiful coming of age story that discusses vulnerability with such poetic descriptions. Mentioning topics of mental health and suicide, testing social boundaries and building new relationships as well as providing a younger insight into managing anxiety and social awkwardness.

Susan (Hartlepool)

I am Susan and have just moved to Hartlepool and am looking for a book club to make some friends, have a chat and to encourage myself to read more!

For One More Day

by Mitch Albom | Buy this book

I love anything written by Mitch Albom, but this one was just beautiful, particularly if you've ever had a love one pass away and been desperate for that one extra moment with them.

reINcarnate

by Patrick Querney | Buy this book

This is a mixture of horror and crime I think. You are following a serial killer who's soul jumps from person to person, going on a murder rampage, and a detective who is trying to find the murderer. This is an indie book so there is some spelling mistakes but that didn't take me out of the story and I ended up really enjoying it and getting a physical copy.

Hell House

by Richard Matheson | Buy this book

A ghost/Haunted House story that I really enjoyed. The Author also wrote 'I am Legend'.

Buddhism Plain and Simple

by Steve Hagen | Buy this book

I love coming back to this book when life is getting me down. I do find a resonate with Buddhism which I treat more like a philosophy then religion. I highly recommend this to anything who is curious about Buddhism philosophy :)

The Spellshop

by Sarah Beth Durst | Buy this book

Read in 2024 and I ended up loving it and it brought me back to Fantasy. I especially loved the sentient plants in the story, the plot, and that there is a small bit of romance but it does not lead to sex, nor is it the main focus and it makes sense (doesn't not fill forced or rushed). Already pre-ordered her next book set in the same world - The Enchanted Greenhouse.

Catherine (Stockton-on-Tees)

love all types of books but currently fantasy like fourth wig series and classics like dickens and jane austen i also like a good mystery and detective novels would like a group meet up please
