Sandra (Hathersage)

A bit of an introvert - I can spend (ahem, days) alot time on my own, love my home, my garden, my cat. But also enjoy chatting with friends over a coffee and would like to meet some other bibliophiles.

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

by Lisa See | Buy this book

It transports you to rural China in the 19th Century. Foot binding is still happening, and although we see this as a barbaric practice today, we are drawn into the culture, religion and beliefs of the day. Really interesting and although in places sad, also riveting.

Sandra (Hathersage)

Let's get this out first - not a fan of Sci-Fi or dystopian, aliens etc. Love a good whodunnit, historical drama and "easy reading". Just finished "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See. Brilliant read. Would like to join a book club and hopefully make some new friends?

Lucy (Derby)

Hi! I’m new to Derby and am looking to make some friends. Would love to join or start a book club if I could find like-minded people. I love contemporary and literary fiction but read all sorts.

Dot H (Ashbourne)

I like well written modern fiction - William Boyd and Graham Swift for example - and also fond of short stories. I am open minded and nterested in some other genres and will give most things a try.

Sue (Ashbourne)

Retired teacher. Hoping to make some time for reading. Love a wide range of fiction - as long as it's well written. Hoping to meet like minded readers.

Really unusual imagining of Shakespeare's home life. Love all her books though.

Fun, can talk about books until the cows come home, passionate

The wolf and the dove

by Kathleen woodiwiss | Buy this book

It starts with a brief look at 1066 England, and develops into a love story between a Saxon woman and a Norman knight.

Rebecca (Heanor)

I love reading romance, historical and fantasy books. I would love to meet a few times a month to discuss different books, get new recommendations and meet new people. I work as a primary school teacher so evenings and weekends are all open for reading 😁😁

I'm Lauren! Despite being a numbers girl (maths teacher), I am completely obsessed with reading. I tend to read fantasy but I'll give anything a try.

City of Bones

by Cassandra Clare | Buy this book

This book got me back into reading in 2012. I love the world that's created and the twists and turns in the series.

Danielle (New Mills)

Lives in New Mills. Reading has always been a solitary hobby but the books I tend to read would be awesome to discuss with other people to see what they think, as I think 2 people can read the same book and come away with completely different things. Currently reading: A Little Life

Vicki (Ilkeston)

Social introvert with a passion for books

Vicki recommends:

Silent Patient

by Alex michaelides | Buy this book

The twist, never saw where this story was going until the last minute…..could not put it down

Vicki (Ilkeston)

I love books and love nothing better than snuggling under a blanket and getting lost in a story but would also love to share the books with like minded people. I work from home a lot so getting out the house to meet up would be something I would benefit from but where are all the local book clubs? Favourite genre is psychological thrillers but love some fantasy and dark romance along with contemporary and historical fiction…..if a book cover talks to me I’ll read it

Rendezvouz With Rama

by Arthur C Clarke | Buy this book

When I first read this as a teenager the sense of wonder and something truly alien blew my mind. Sure, characterisation is poor but the scope, scale and mystery of the story is epic.
