Paola recommends:

The midnight library

by Matt Haig | Buy this book

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.

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!

Tina56 (Barrow-in Furness)

Hi I’m Tina, I’ve recently retired from the NHS. Married, fit active mum of two grown and flown daughters. I’m just finding new things to do to help fill my days. I love to read both fiction & non fiction, I’d also love to learn new things and hopefully meet new people along the way.

Catherine (Windermere)

I’ve just moved to the area and love meeting new people and, reading books!

Laura (Barrow-in Furness)

I have recently moved to Cumbria and looking for fellow book lovers to meet with. I love fantasy, romance, historical fiction and thrillers.

Veronica (Cockermouth)

I'm moving to the area and I'd like to meet people who love to read. I mostly read sci-fi, fantasy and romance but other genres as horror, thriller, historical fiction and non fiction (like biographies, history and science) could be found in my bookshelves.

Philr (Whitehaven)

53 year old widower who has always loved reading since an early age. Never joined a book club bit feel it might be the right time as I've never talked about my thoughts on a book to anyone. Historical fiction, classics, Stephen King, John Connolly etc, etc, probably prepared to read anything if it provokes discussion!

Dawn555 (Barrow-in Furness)

I’m a full time working mum of two but would love to join a local book club to develop a social circle. I love reading a wide range of genre from children’s books every night to my children, to chick lit, thrillers, mysteries and autobiographies.

Rachel (Barrow-in Furness)

43 and live in Barrow. Love reading and hoping to expand my social circle

Maggie (Keswick)

I absolutely love reading, and have recently moved to Keswick. So I am looking to meet new people who also enjoy reading and socialising. I have been fortunate enough to live in Burma, Australia and until February of this year, in Bahrain.

Paul (Grange-over-Sands)

I am an author and also avid reader of fiction of pretty much any genre. I live in Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria. Being honest, I am mostly looking for opportunities to join in with book groups if they want to discuss my debut novel - Joe with an E - which I think has lots of interesting themes to discuss around family, identity and gender-identity.

Lee (Penrith)

Hi, I'm Lee, I live and work in Penrith. I've always loved reading, everything from Jackie Collins to Dostoevsky, (tho if I'm honest probably the former more!) At the moment I'm on with Peter May as his books are set in one of my favourite places - the Hebrides. I used to be in a book club at work years ago and really like sharing thoughts.

Lee recommends:

The Outrun

by Amy Liptrot | Buy this book

A fantastically engaging read, written straight from the heart

JJreads (Cockermouth)

I am looking for people to read and discuss books with! I am a big fan of a range of genres but I’m really into both fantasy and contemporary fiction at the moment. Some five star reads from this year would be The Glutton, Boulder and Arrangements In Blue.

Lucy (Whitehaven)

Hi there! I'm just about to turn 28 years old (I'm a true virgo). I love reading and would love to find a local book club. I'm quite open to genre's, I'll typically read anything that's good! But I do tend to gravitate to fantasy and contemporary fiction, as well as regularly enjoying memoirs and classical literature. I currently live in Egremont but would be willing to travel.

Georgia (Windermere)

I like all genres and really enjoy exploring new books and authors. I’ve loved being part of book clubs before and would like to join a new one now that I have moved
