Sarah (Seaham)

I love reading most genres, but particularly Victorian fiction, early modern and post-modern. I am just about to have a baby so wanting a group to help me keep reading whilst on maternity leave, if possible!

Readalot Terry (Barnard Castle)

I have read all my life and am now retired, and read even more! Mostly historical novels and factual history with the odd diversion to a different genre.

Readalot Terry recommends:

CROSS STICH

by DIANA GABALDON | Learn more and buy

The romance, and the time shift between Culloden and present.

Angela (Darlington)

I want to cancel

Alyson (Consett)

Love reading and using Audible too. Like all types of books but something interesting including biographical. Not too bothered by romance novels. Would love to start reading club.

Alyson recommends:

The Remains of the Day

by KAZUO ISHIGURO | Learn more and buy

I found it interesting to listen to this unfolding story in the backdrop of historical events; also how the person develops with a reflection of emotions and realisations.

Emily (Durham)

I'm interested in joining a book club that has science fiction and fantasy as the main focus of the group in Durham. I do read all formats (physical, e-books and audio.) I don't like meeting in pubs.

Aven (Durham)

Hi, I love horror novels, especially historical horror. I also like a bit of fantasy but all of those tend to overlap anyway. I'm looking for people to enthuse about books with in a pretty cafe :)

Aven recommends:

Deliver us from Evil

by Tom Holland | Learn more and buy

It's a perfect moody winter book set in late oliver cromwell times before the monarchy restoration. It involves history, religious mythology and rituals but is mainly about vampires and this demon guy. Very cozy read

Safc (Bishop Auckland)

Like crime fiction look for some good recommendations I do like a good series when you get to know characters. Some I had read Angela Masson Mj Arlidge

25 - I love books of almost any genre, but am particularly fond of classic literature and horror. I'd love to meet up with someone for a coffee or go for a walk and talk about books!

To the Lighthouse

by Virginia Woolf | Learn more and buy

This book is such a powerful reflection about how people relate to each other, about the complexities of human interaction and the passage of time. Virginia Woolf is such a descriptive writer, and I found myself having to pause every couple of pages to really appreciate what she'd written.

Katie (Durham)

I like romance and fantasy, also murder mysteries! I would like to find people to discuss books with.

Katie recommends:

Twisted Love

by Ana Huang | Learn more and buy

Hello!

I would love to meet some people for coffee some weekend, get some recommendations on books and chat -

Mary recommends:

Piranesi

by susanna clarke | Learn more and buy

From the same author as Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, I loved having such an unreliable narrator, and such unique world building - very satisfying putting all the pieces together by the end!
