Susie (Carlisle)

Happy to try most genres. Always interested in other people's thoughts, even if I don't agree. I need to broaden my outlook.

Looking to meet people to go for short walks with or sit in cafes and talk about books, expand my vocabulary (as a non native speaker) and such as I'm falling back in love with reading after years of reading stagnation.

Sfk63 (Whitehaven)

25, recently gotten into reading and have started off in fantasy though I’m open to all genres! Also love thriller and romance novels

Sara (Kendal)

Love reading but don’t do enough of it! Looking to join a book club to explore new genres and meet new people.

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.

Paola (Whitehaven)

26 | woman | sociable | I like to explore different genres of books but usually fiction/fantasy/romance

Paola recommends:

The midnight library

by Matt Haig | Learn more and buy

A great journey through the character's life, or rather, possible lives, as she contemplates all the what ifs. Touches on mental health but leaves you with hope.

PinkPages (Windermere)

I’m looking to make friends with other book lovers, I typically read dark romance, thriller, horror, murder mystery, queer and “weird girl” books but always open to other genres, can mainly meet in the evenings due to my work

PinkPages recommends:

Butcher and Blackbird

by Brynne Weaver | Learn more and buy

It’s extremely bingeable with the perfect amount of comedy within a dark story and just the right amount of spice

Jian (Windermere)

Bookworm.

Nature Book Club (Carlisle)

Join our new book club for nature lovers at Cumbria Wildlife Trust's Gosling Sike in Houghton. We meet every 6 weeks to explore inspiring nature-writing. Connect with like-minded readers, deepen your love for the wild, and spark change through stories. Pilot book club night happening on Wednesday 12th February 19:00

BookReader84 (Appleby-in-Westmorland)

Meet new people and new books!

Paola (Whitehaven)

Hi, I'm Paola, a 26 yo girl leaving in Sandwith, Whitehaven. I love to read and I'm part of an online book club but, as I've recently moved to the area, would love to meet up IRL to chat about books!

New to the area

Laura-Anne (Barrow-in Furness)

Hey, 30 Yr old, crime fiction, thriller fiction lover for reads. But also wanting to start reading my sort of "smutty spicy" fiction books on my tbr (to be read) pile in my shelf. Somewhat shy and energetic at the same time, but easy to talk to and easy to get along with once more comfortable around someone, I'm also a friendly person and can be quite active when it's things like hiking/fell walking/normal walks (don't drive though so yeh) . Living in Barrow and joined this site to get to know people perhaps a little more local or even maybe along the Cumbria coastal area.

Laura-Anne recommends:

The woman who lied

by Claire Douglas | Learn more and buy

Crime/thriller fiction, a woman who lied about parts of her life and her past. Ends up killing someone who she turns herself into...

Witching hour

by Syd Moore | Learn more and buy

Witches and witching hour

BookReader92 (Barrow-in Furness)

My reading has lapsed of late due to the pressures of work and life (and social media) but I'm wanting to get back into it. Looking to meet new friends to discuss books and ideas. I'm interested in reading crime thrillers, politics, history and more
