Lauren (Ilkeston)

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.

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.

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.

Emily (Chesterfield)

Hi, I've recently moved to the area and am looking to get back into reading as I was obsessed with it when I was younger. I like thrillers and romance but I'm open to everything and would love to make new friends too :)

Book Club Derby (the names a work in progress) (Derby)

I'm looking to get some people together and start a book club in Derby. I'm thinking of doing a variety of different genres, and I'm open to suggestions as well. I'm still working on a location, but I'm thinking somewhere near the city centre. Hopefully I can find a location and start the book club in April.

Deborah (Glossop)

Kids and husband have left the nest and it's time for the next stage in my life journey. I gave up a lot including reading to bring up my kids but I'm back. I love all sorts but at the moment into crime novels. Not a fan of horror and classics.

The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry

by Rachel Joyce | Buy this book

Totally unexpected and reminded me so much of my father. To start on your way to the post box and just keep going.. my idea of being free.

The Dressmaker's gift

by Fiona Valpy | Buy this book

I love reading Ms Valpy's books. They create a beautiful, evocative picture and tell beautiful stories. The way she wove two generations around a shop was creative and beautifully told.
