Binding 13

by Chloe Walsh | Buy this book

It’s a slow burn romance with lots of drama, romance and many sad moments

Helen (Chesterfield)

Hello, I am a slow reader so a monthly book group would suit me best. Reading is a way to relax and although I prefer fairly light novels, I also like thought-provoking and new genres. I also enjoy listening to audio books. I am looking to meet new people and share my love of books.

Becca (Alfreton)

29 year old new to the area, I was once part of a young book club where we were given a random read for the month and all met up for a potluck dinner to discuss it! Looking for something similar.

Gill (Heanor)

Hello although I have lived in the area for two years I have not really socialised and made friends. I like historical novels and thrillers but would also consider other genres. I work part time so daytime book meets could be tricky but it would be nice to meet new people if a suitable venue maybe a coffee shop or cafe could be found. I like a variety of books many thriller writers but I do read some historical novels and other books which just look appealing.

Gill recommends:

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms

by Charlie N Holmberg | Buy this book

It takes you on a journey through the eyes of the main character which is funny but also links to real experiences that many of us have had and without lecturing shows that sometimes the obstacles are there to guide us.

Charly (Derby)

I’m fairly new to the area, I love reading romance and fantasy and am looking to make some new friends :)

Amanda (New Mills)

Hi I’m a 36 year old mum who has always wanted to join a book group and now is the perfect time. I would love to have someone to chat about books with and be encouraged to read more books I’m not used to reading. I don’t have a preference for genre but I’m currently reading a little life by Hanya Yanagihara 😬 Thanks Amanda

Alison (Chesterfield)

Hi I've taken early retirement from teaching and currently working part time in retail. I would love to join a local reading group that meets on Tues,Thurs, Fri evenings or daytime Wednesday. I love modern literature and crime/ psychological thriller books but am willing to try any genre.

Katiebetty28 (New Mills)

I’m new to the area and looking to find a group of like minded people who enjoy a good book, maybe a glass of wine and a chat. Quite an eclectic taste, although some authors I tend to go back to are Barbara Kingsolver, Jessie Burton, Kate Atkinson, Jonathan Franzen, Lionel Shriver to name a few. I don’t mind an autobiography either. I tend to rush through books and then can’t remember anything about the plot afterwards so I feel like this would slow me down and make me think a bit more.

JuliaE (Derby)

I'm interested in joining a book in Derby or nearby. It'd need to be in the evening as I work during the day - any suggestions?
