Tracey (Truro)

Hi. I'm looking for a book group in Truro to talk about books and meet new people.

Dan (Redruth)

Hi! I'm Dan, 38, in the Camborne area. Literature sucked me in as a child and has never let me go. These days I mostly read genre fiction, particularly fantasy and sci-fi, interspersed with some crime, historical fiction and thrillers. I'm interested in meeting people with similar tastes to discuss our favourite reads.

Dan recommends:

The Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss | Buy this book

As much as I love it, I'll concede that much fantasy writing is plot-driven and prosaic. Rothfuss is different. His language is poetic, at times like a mental caress, sometimes sweeping and epic, full of clever wordplay.The book has flaws (not least that it begins a trilogy that may never be completed), but whenever I read it I'm reminded why I love the genre.

Jan (Redruth)

Usually an avid reader but struggling to make time to read as much as I would like to at the moment. I enjoy quite a wide range of books but not sci fi or fantasy. Redruth is hosting a Book Feast in April over a weekend with some great authors talking about their books. Email me if you would like to know more or visit our Facebook page Redruth Book Feast, or our website redruthbookfeast.co.uk. It’s a great way to meet like minded people who love books and reading.

Just June (Wadebridge)

Like to discuss books of most genres - mystery, murder, classics, romance (not sloppy or graphic!) . Would like to meet people and possibly make friends.

Just June recommends:
