Rhi (Consett)
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.
Sign in to contactJinks (Bishop Auckland)
Outgoing, friendly mature lady, young at heart. I am a married retired lady who enjoys other people's company and exchanging views. I have always loved reading and my latest novels have been Robert Harris, Enclave, V2 and The second sleep. I have also read a few historic novels of Ken Follit but then I really enjoyed David Mitchell's Unruly and Kieth Lowe's Savage Continent. I enjoy a variety. I am happy to meet day time or evenings. I look forward to meeting new people and after speaking to my niece about her latest Book Club choice I have sent for Weyward by Emelia Hart. Jinks

Hiya, I'm a disabled 29 year old woman with my also disabled 34 year old husband, both of us are book lovers and will read anything from any genre. Our favourites are horror, young adult, fantasy, cozy mysteries, queer fiction and classics. We would love to get more friends as we don't get out much and we'd love to share our love of books with others. Even if it's once a month we would love to meet new people and maybe make new friends while talking about great books!

Kayley (Sedgefield)
Hi, looking to meet up maybe once a month, reasons are social side and to find new books within my usual genres, currently hooked on dark romance, romantasy, comp rom but I'd also like to dip my toes in other genres and thought book club would be a good way to day however I'm not a non-fiction/autobiography girl sorry
Sign in to contactKaren (Durham)
42 years old. Looking to meet new friends and to breakaway from "doom scrolling" and to get back to reading more! Used to read so much more but fallen a bit out of the habit. Love a good thriller, gothic horror, classics, something a bit quirkier, top 100 must reads......all sorts really, apart from chick lit. Live in the Dh1 area. Open to smaller groups, or even 1 to 1 meet up to chat books and life in general, really. Evenings or weekends work for me.

Mark (Chester-le-Street)
I am focusing on reading more frequently, and lately I have enjoyed Willa Cather's pioneer novels, Jünger's 'Eumeswil', Dick's 'The Man in the High Castle'. So there's a bit of variety there. Classic English novelists are also important to me, so, Dickens, Brontë, Austen, Stevenson, etc. I'm not really into Fantasy, but Science Fiction is of interest. On my current reading pile is more Cather, and Colette, Camus, Mann ... and lots of poetry ... It would be nice to talk to people with similar reading interests.

I work full time in a stressful job, reading is the perfect escape and I get engrossed in worlds built between the pages. Recently fallen down a rabbit hole of romantasy.

Sign in to contactPam (Durham)
I am totally obsessed with the tudor era, I'm reading : the shardlake series at the moment. But I do read other history non fiction, especially the medieval period. Also non fiction books on these eras and sometimes other periods in all aspects of history. I tend to read several books at a time, it doesn't get confusing, that's just the way I am!

I love to meet new people who enjoy reading. I live in Spennymoor and read for pleasure most days.
Sign in to contactBooks&tea30 (Durham)
I enjoy all types of genres and will read any recommendations given. I’ve read all my life but recently very much got back into reading. I’m looking to read some good books but also the social aspect of a book club, leaving the house, social interaction and potentially making friends (which is very hard to do at the age of 30!) rather than sit with a hot drink, a book and my dog or boyfriend to unload my thoughts and feelings of the book onto.
