Alan (Helston)

I enjoy reading - latest reads 'when the cranes fly south', 'Orbital', 'Under the Hornbeams'. I would enjoy discussing the books I have read, and would value book recommendations. I was very active until mid-2024' but unhealthy in the following 12 months hence now a little isolated - chatting with others is always a good thing - even if we disagree!

Alan recommends:

When the Cranes Fly South

by x | Buy this book

It describes a relatively unrecorded time of life. It has a perceptive view of a persons' thoughts and feelings.

Hello, My name is Nathaniel and I'm looking to join a book group to get out and meet people in a low-anxiety setting. I look forward to meeting whomever I end up meeting.

Burmese Days

by George Orwell | Buy this book

Orwell's amazing grasp of prose where it is always evocative but never takes priority over the story he is telling.

I'm looking to join a book club to get me out of the house and talk to more people. I'm 31 years old and will mostly read anything but with a particular interest in the horror genre.

Better read than dead. (Helston)

I'm looking to start a monthly meet up in Cornwall, Helston- penzance- Hayle-camborne sort of area. The idea is to read things you may not have have otherwise read ! I'm not a snob so pretty much anything goes within reason, each member gets a go picking the book. Could be fantasy, non fiction, the torah, books on gemstones, graphic novels etc. I will kick things off with 'the five' by Hallie rubenhold. It's about the lives of the five alleged victims of jack the ripper. You should be able to find it fairly easily, and if you want to save some money I think world of books sells them used. if you are interested send me an email!

Imogen (Helston)

Hi, I'm desperate to join a book club near me, or if there wasn't one , start one! . Terry Pratchett is my favourite author of all time, as well as the seven sisters series. But really I just love reading so I'm always looking for new experiences. I'm currently reading 'unwell women' a non fiction book, and the book I read before that was the 'The nun' by Denis diderot.

aliceratesthings (Helston)

I've always loved reading and although I go through phases, I read a lot. I read mostly fiction, and mostly literary fiction, but love trying books I wouldn't otherwise have read- which is why book clubs are so great!

The Cornwall Romance Book Club (Truro)

If you love romance novels and want to make friends with likeminded women, then The Cornwall Romance Book Club is the group for you! Each month we choose a book (sometimes contemporary romance, other times historical or fantasy/paranormal/sci-fi) and organise a meet-up. There is never any pressure to read the book, as the meet-ups are mostly for socialising. We are a friendly, welcoming, corner of Romancelandia - and we cannot wait for you to join us! You can find our group on Facebook, just search "The Cornwall Romance Book Club". Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.

Tegan recommends:

Phantasma

by Kaylie Smith | Buy this book

Possibly everything? There’s so much that happened within this book yet it didn’t feel like I was being bombarded. This book was mysterious, dark, scary and the romance between the main characters was addictive 🤭

Her feral beasts

by E. P. Bali | Buy this book

This series is so good if you love RH, fantasy and shifters. Each book in the series is based on a different love interest of the FMC and they’re such different people that it’s really interesting. I also really like the high school / prison/ detention setting

Twisted pride

by Cora Reilly | Buy this book

This was one of the books that made me fall in love with reading again! I love how morally grey Remo is and how stubborn Serafina is. It’s a perfect combo

LauraM (Wadebridge)

I am relocating to wadebridge and would love to join a new and friendly book club. I currently attend one and would like to continue. I’m quite open to a lot of genres and do not have a specific favourite, I just enjoy reading

Courtney (Falmouth)

I'm a book girly who loves dark romance, Romamce, romantasy and Thriller! 🖤 I'm looking to make more book friends and hopefully meet up and talk all things book! X

Courtney recommends:

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

Full of suspense and so many twists! My first fantasy read that was beautifully written and had me nail biting for the last 50% of the book!

The Ritual

by Shantel Tessier | Buy this book

If you're a dark romance girly and love a kink list (trigger warnings) like me, you will LOVE The L.O.R.D.S series! Romance, smut and a gripping storyline with every book!

Holding The Reins

by Paisley Hope | Buy this book

Cowboy Romance? YES PLEASE! A great live story of Nash and CeCe who find love when they least expect it.

Birthday Girl

by Penelope Douglas | Buy this book

A great age gap romance between Jordan and Pike blossoms after her and his son moving into his house. A great romance for the girls who love a bit of an age gap!
