Mixed genres

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.

Hamnet

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

I love thrillers and crime fiction

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

ChrisH72 recommends:

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.

Emjay30 (Chesterfield)

I would love to join a local book club to meet new people and talk about books. I read a wide variety of books and have no specific genre that I favour, from Sci-fi to romance and crime, thrillers and historic novels. Some of my favourites are Where the Crawdads sing, Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, Dune and of course Jane Austin. I always like to read the book before watching the film too! I cant wait to hear everyone's book recommendations.

Emjay30 recommends:

Where the Crawdads Sing

by Delia Owens | Buy this book

The story is so well written and drags you in completely.

Vish_ (Derby)

I've mostly read non-fiction up until now but would like recommendations for fiction. It would be great to join a book club and meet new people!

Lauren (Ilkeston)

As a mum of two, who works part-time and holds a household I’m looking for an adult only book club or group of people who enjoy a good read! (all kinds of genre) Who doesn't take life too seriously and just wants to meet new people and have a laugh…

Nadia (Chesterfield)

I love reading a wide range of literary fiction, mostly pre-21st century. I try to read more women authors and literature translated into English from other languages.
