Brews&Books (Whitehaven)

Hey! 30/Female, looking for some local book loving friends! I'm a big fan of fantasy, dark academia, romantasy and soon venturing into more horror and sci-fi. I am not a fan of non-fiction as I like to escape into big open worlds, with magic, creatures and unpredictability. Although I've found others who love these kind of genres online, some local book lover friends would be amazing too. If you have any similar genres you love, please reach out so we can connect. Maybe we can form a bookclub one day if there is enough of us!

absolutely excellent character development, and superbly immersive writing.
1984 by George Orwell

Very surprising if you’re not familiar with it. Both innit plot content, and in how wonderfully easy and compelling it is to read.

Like the idea of reading books that I wouldn’t necessarily choose myself, to improve scope and interest. Also will enjoy discussing said book with others in informal situation.

Karen (Kendal)

I enjoy most genres but when Im tired I prefer non fiction. I love Jane Austen, and historical novels. Just returned to UK after 20+ years in Australia so trying make connections. At the moment in an Air Bnb until we find our home - not necessarily in this area. Grew up on a farm and love all animals. Brought our 2 cats with us and they love to sit with me while I read.

A Fortunate Life by AB Facey
A Fortunate Life
by AB Facey | Buy this book
An autobiography of an 'ordinary' man who believed he had a fortunate life despite experiencing Gallipoli and hardship in Western Australia. Certainly puts current expectations into perspective.

Claire (Gosforth)

A semi-retired teacher who loves to read. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends and socialising in small groups with a cup of tea and sometimes a sweet treat! I am currently devouring the DI Ryan books by LJ Ross or the Philippa Gregory books set in Tudor Times or the Wars of the Roses era. I would love to join a local book group to make new friends and to share new authors/genres I haven't tried before.
