All listings in Derbyshire

Kelita (Derby)

Hi! I'm Kelita, 32 and new to Derby. I work with digital content and I love writing short fiction. My curent favourite genres are thrillers and literary fiction and anything with a twisty ending!

Sci-fi thriller Jim (Ashbourne)

I’ve always loved books but could never find the time in the last few years to read so decided I need to make time to enjoy them again. Would like to meet new people who enjoy any sort of books, I’ve spent a few weeks reading Blake Crouch and really got into the swing of things again, anyone want to start a club in Derbyshire? Could be in a local pub? Or home? Anything would be great

Phil b (Buxton)

Broad taste. Newish to the area ( Buxton) looking for a group to discuss, go off at a tangent sometimes, make friends ...

Emily (Ripley)

I'm 24 and looking for a group to socialise with around once a month and discuss a random choice 'pick of the month' book. I usually steer towards twisty thrillers but love a bit of fantasy too!

holly2001 (Chesterfield)

hey I’m Holly. I’d love to find some people who love the same kind of genres as me so we can discuss as I love discussing books after! I love romantasy, dark books, fantasy at the minute :)

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?

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

by Lisa See | Learn more and buy

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.

Nicole (Alfreton)

I’ve lived in the area about a year but don’t know many people locally so would like to find some book friends 😊 I like crime, fantasy, a bit of a romance, historical fiction, a big mixture really. Would like to find a group near Alfreton to meet up maybe once a month to chat books and socialise.

SophieMaria (Derby)

I love reading and like to find out what others think of books.

BookReaderTK421 (Matlock)

Early 30s. Into fiction books of all kinds and a bit of a scifi & fantasy nerd. Live close to Matlock. Looking to meet new people, and catch up once a week or so.

D (Derby)

Interested in all types of fiction and non fiction

D recommends:

Human Acts

by Han Kang | Learn more and buy

Incredibly ambitious book that is compelling in the depth of its humanity. How Han Kang must have suffered to write this book.

Apeirogon

by Colum McCann | Learn more and buy

The depth of humanity and hope in the book

Chelsea (Derby)

Looking to join a book club to get back into reading. Always looking for recommendations so let me know what you're reading at the minute!

Chris (Chesterfield)

Usually down to read anything but I know very few others who read. This means it’s frustrating when you really want to discuss a good book.

Dickiebird (Matlock)

Trying to organise a novel reading/ promotion about Florence Nightingale in September 2024 at Lea Hurst. The novel is by Emeritus Professor Melissa Pritchard from USA. She is coming for a few days around 22 September. Please contact me if you would like to be involved in organising this event. Thanks Richard

abown97 (Chesterfield)

thriller romance detective and crime

Moreton (Heanor)

Looking for like minded people who enjoy reading and wish to discuss books

Sarah (Ripley)

Relatively new to the area and looking to expand my social network a single in my 40s. I have always been an avid reader and I'm looking for a local book club to meet like minded people as well as expand my reading repertoire

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

Vicki recommends:

Silent Patient

by Alex michaelides | Learn more and buy

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

Daniel B (Buxton)

New to the area and looking for a group to discuss literature, both fiction and non fiction. I have a broad range of interests and used to be a book reviewer.

Lillyen (Derby)

Hi, I'm 29 years old and from Derby. I absolutely love getting lost in the immersive worlds of fantasy, feeling the thrilling suspense of horror, diving into the intrigue of a well-crafted mystery, and exploring the mind-bending depths of psychological thrillers. Also, dark fantasy romance is totally my guilty pleasure! I'm looking to find some like-minded people.
