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

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 | 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.

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.

Sarah from Ulverston (Ulverston)

Hi, love reading and would to connect with like minded people who enjoy turning a page. Enjoy the outdoors, walking and cycling when I can. Happy to meet anywhere in the South Lakes.

kubrick7 (Whitehaven)

Looking for new friends—ideally the kind who enjoy sitting across a table, talking through a book properly. Not just “what did you think?” but getting into the ideas, teasing out meaning, and maybe disagreeing a bit along the way. I’m a husband and a dad. Until recently I’d have said I was a die-hard introvert, but in a twist on the usual trend, the older I get, the more curious I’ve become about other people. I read with a pen in hand and tend to lean toward heavier nonfiction—philosophy, psychoanalysis, that kind of thing. But when fiction lands, it really lands. I’ve spent the last year focusing on books by women. Anne Brontë might be my favourite of the sisters—I think we share a dry sense of humour. My favourite detective is Inspector Morse. The most interesting novel you probably haven’t heard of? The Vorrh by Brian Catling. Strange, beautiful, and worth the time. Based in Whitehaven. If that sounds like your kind of conversation, get in touch.

Sarah (Ulverston)

Hi. Would love to join in with a book club. Love walking, cycling and a daily dose of Pilates keeps me moving. Love autobiographical works or a good romance or thriller. Need to return to steady reading after a period of not even opening a book for a good time.

Dry

by Augusten Burroughs | Buy this book

Fascinating insight not only into one person's battle with the bottle but also his road to being sober. Funny (laugh out loud funny in places) but also poignant. Makes you think.
