Tell it to the Bees

by Fiona Shaw | Buy this book

It's an amazing read and opens your eyes to the world around you

Nicholas Kittoe (Carlisle)

Father, grandfather, largely retired businessman.

Baldur (Carlisle)

I am in my seventies living in the countryside with my wife, my children and grandchildren now living separately. I have had to read extensively on economics, business practice and current affairs for my business and professional career but now, having only one small business left, I am turning more to fiction and poetry. However, for all that I enjoy reading the classics and well-established authors, I feel I am somewhat “stuck“ and need to voyage wider. Also, I miss the substantial benefit of a range reviews on what I have read and having my own challenged. (There’s an obvious typo in the name of the author of my recommended book, “Vasily” of course, not “Basils”! The app made impossible to edit.

Marianne (Gosforth)

I was a member of a book club previously and am new to the area

Ambleside Book Club (Ambleside)

We both love reading various genres and are hoping to find some liked minded people who would be interested in starting a book club with us. We were thinking of meeting once a month in a cafe/pub where we can talk about the book we chose to read, to choose the next months book, and to talk about anything else. If you love the idea we’d be happy to hear from you!

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 | Buy this book

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

Emma (Ambleside)

I love most genres: contemporary, historical, magical realism, crime, romance, fantasy,... and would love to find other local people to meet up, chat books, life and to simply have a nice time together :)

Emma recommends:

Hex

by Jenni Fagan | Buy this book

I loved the blend between historical and magical realism genres in this book and just think it is the most perfect and most touching short read I have read in the past year. It is a story about women's suffering in the witch hunt era, women supporting each other and love and friendship whilst being most brutally touching and thought-provoking.

Booksandcats (Kendal)

Hi, I want to make friends and live in Kendal. I like to read by the logburner with my cats! I can attend evenings only because of work.

Debbie L (Hawkshead)

I love reading a wide range of mainly non fiction books. Love to connect with others who enjoy reading

Debbie L recommends:

Lin (Ambleside)

I have always had a love of reading but the past few years have not read as much as I would like due to being so preoccupied with work. I would like to join a group for discussion and making new aquaintances.
