Hi! I'm trying to get back into reading and want to find people who are also looking to expand their reading list. I'm 19 and looking for other girls who love romance books as well as murder mystery books to discuss and review books together.

Charlotte (Durham)

Usually when I read books, I end up not having anyone to share my thoughts on it with. I think it'd be nice to see others' perpectives for once so we can tell eachother what we thought.

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

by Stuart Turton | Buy this book

It does the mystery very well! When I re-read the book, I noticed all the details that hinted towards the ending. There were so many plot twists, too. I pulled an all nighter to read it, not only because the book was great, but because I love time loop books.

AmyG (Consett)

Looking for like minded readers. Love fantasy and romantasy. Also love historical fiction as well as classic's by Jane Austen

Lisa (Consett)

Hi! I'm someone who's trying to get back into reading regularly — I used to read a lot more, but lately I’ve found myself getting out of the habit. I’m joining this group to help me stay motivated and actually finish books, and also because I’m terrible at choosing what to read next. I'm hoping being part of a book group will introduce me to stories I wouldn’t have picked up on my own, and give me a good reason to carve out some proper reading time.

Janine (Consett)

Looking for recommendations of new reads. I normally go for crime/thrillers but open to trying anything really! Interested in joining a local book club nearby if there are any recommendations!

David (Seaham)

Love reading, kindle user. My favourite genres are thrillers, psychological thrillers, crime and mystery. But I am open to anything. I'm 33 and live in Wingate and would love to join a book club or meet like-minded new friends to chat and read with :)

The crucifix Killer

by Chris Carter | Buy this book

I just love the whole Hunter series. I can't just pick one!

Paul (Darlington)

I like a variety of genres, though typically stuff on the heavy, darker side

Leftfooter (Consett)

I like to read widely, both factual (history, science) and fiction (mainly fantasy and SF). I’d like to meet other people who love reading, learning and intelligent discussion

Karen (Durham)

Hi,I love reading especially historical fiction such as the Karen Maitland books but will try anything ( not chicklit) It would be great to make some new likeminded friends. Either a full on book group, silent book group or 1 on 1.

Karen recommends:

The Historian

by Elizabeth Kostova | Buy this book

I love the parallel stories with the weaving of history,customs and beliefs alongside the cloud of threat that hangs over.

Megan (Bishop Auckland)

Fanatic reader who loves all things cosy crime, Jane Austen, and anything Brontë!

Ashley (Bishop Auckland)

I recently rediscovered my love of reading with crime and mystery novels, and love nothing more than a good ‘who done it’ that has you hooked from the start and leaves you guessing until the very end. I also quite like the fantasy/romance genre, and I’m open to try new books. I’m looking to meet new people.

Adam (Chester-le-Street)

I love reading. I recently moved to the area and was in a monthly book group where I was living before and loved it. I love classic literature especially modern , historical novels and also non fiction especially history. But I also love to talk about books with others

The Day of the Jackal

by Frederick Forsyth | Buy this book

Great thriller, brilliant pace, good characters and fabulous story with great twist which keeps you guessing to the end.

TerrieH (Barnard Castle)

I have always been a reader from childhood and an avid library user. I found audiobooks on Borrow box during the lockdowns and always have a physical books and an ebook on the go. I like many authors from PeterJames and Shari Lapena to Ruth Jones and Dawn French. Plus all in between and have recently discovered cosy mystery writers like Alexander McCall Smith and L T Shearer. I would love to meet other book lovers to discuss books over a coffee in a social setting🙂☕️📗

Hi I'm 54 and love reading murders, romance and most things really. Looking to make friends and have a laugh whilst enjoying the books we read.

Looking to make friends who love all things cosy and hobby-ish. Ideally looking for low-key meet ups either in groups or one on one! Lover of Fantasy and Romantasy and won't read something unless it has some magical element to it.
