Pete (Helston)

47 and rediscovering the joy of reading after many years away! I'm working my way through a mix of classics and modern fiction and always looking for my next great read. Would love to meet other bookish people, swap recommendations, and hopefully find a good book club or two along the way. šŸ“š

Got into reading beginning of 2026 with the challenge of reading all the Chiltern Publishing classics. Recently branched into modern lit with helpful pointers from AI on what on books I have missed out on over last 30 years!

hooked_onbooks (Truro)

I am looking for some friends to have fun talking to about books. I love romantasy and murder mysteries, while occasionally enjoying a classic like Little Woman by Louise May Alcott or Jane Eyre by Jane Austen. I love reading and read about 3 books a week.

hooked_onbooks recommends:

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
The Cruel Prince
by Holly Black | Learn more and buy
It has a political plot with a romance subplot. It has you raring to flip to the next page, desperate to see what's next and what Jude has gotten herself into this time. It shows the dangers of ambition and shows the effect of bullying on people. The book has themes of redemption and betrayal.

Matilda (Helston)

Hi, my name is Matilda. I've just moved back to Cornwall after uni. I enjoy walks, crocheting, knitting, running and baking. My favorite authors are Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. I love classic literature however I'm not a snob- I will happily read any well written novel with a good plot! I'd also love to join groups to read a more diverse selection of literature- beyond the classica perhaps.

LadyJade (Redruth)

I've been an avid reader since childhood, and probably read 3 or 4 books a week. I love crime/psychological thrillers, historical thrillers, and suspenseful novels, but I'll happily read absolutely anything! I've recently discovered a new favourite author, V. E. Schwab, and through her found I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, which I previously hadn't really read. I now wish to join a local book club, where we can chat and discuss what we read, as well as get to know new people and devour new books! I live in Pool and don't drive so a weekly, monthly or fortnightly group within walking distance would be great for me. If no groups likthis exist and anyone reading this would like to create one, or even start an online one, I'd be happy to help get the ball rolling!

LadyJade recommends:

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
by V. E. Schwab | Learn more and buy
This is an incredibly well written book and the characters are so real, you feel you know them. Part fantasy, bits of romance, with mystery and suspense as well as historical settings, this novel can't be boxed into one particular genre, and is a book everyone could enjoy no matter their reading preferences.

lenna.awen (Newquay)

Having discovered reading for pleasure around 12 years ago, I am voraciously devouring any and all books I can get my hands on. I have made a vow to work through my backlog of 70+ books! But I'll occasionally allow myself the odd treat while I play catch up. Fantasy, science fiction, speculative, new weird, graphic novels. Le Guin, Pratchett, Leckie, and more.
