Tensor (York)

I read every day, focusing a lot on science fiction but venturing out to whatever seems an interesting read. I'm looking to broaden my social circles and shared interests are the way to go!

Weyward

Magical realism, feminism, drama and an exciting plot

Nic (Richmond (North Yorkshire))

I’ve recently moved back to Richmond Yorks after many years away. I love reading, especially crime and historical fiction and contemporary literature. I’m looking to meet like-minded people, and of course, talk about books. If there isn’t an evening book club in Richmond I’d be up for setting one up!

Abbey (Scarborough)

Not actually a massive reader, but I'd like to more. I tend more towards non-fiction as I quite like learning about things. With fiction, I tend to go to fantasy and romance, though I'm a bit of a hit and miss when it comes to interest in them.

Emma (York)

I enjoy reading fiction but open to reading short stories or different types of books I’d normally read. I would also like to meet new people at the same time! 📚😀👌

JenC15 (York)

Looking to expand my reading horizons with book club recommendations, as well as meet new friends after moving.

Toby (Harrogate)

I’m Toby, 28 and recently moved to Harrogate. Joining/forming book clubs has been a good way to meet people and make friends in the past so keen to do so again. I love crime fiction but also want to read things I wouldn’t normally pick up!

Beegeearr (York)

I have always enjoyed reading thoroughly, and am open to meeting new people. I’m particularly a fan of sci-fi, but generally enjoy a wide range of fiction new n’ old.

Teri (Skipton)

Interested in British crime stories, thrillers and non fiction. Looking to join a book club as an interest, find new books and meet new people

glassinator (Selby)

I really like historic fantasy's or crime and horror

Amelia3172 (Scarborough)

I love all things reading and frankly would quite like more bookish friends! I read almost exclusively fantasy and thriller, but would happily branch out! I recently really enjoyed Babel by RF Kuang and One Dark Window by Rachel Gellig!

One Dark Window

by Rachel Gellig | Buy this book

One of the most interesting magic systems I’ve read in a long time, and characters that were a tonne of fun to follow

Short Reads Club (York)

We exclusively read short stories, typically two per session. I started the club because I'm a huge fan of short stories. Often overlooked, they take so much discipline and craft to write well and there are some absolute gems out there waiting to be discovered, whether theyre timeless classics, or fresh, contemporary takes. We meet every second and fourth Sunday of the month, at the Amnesty Bookshop on Micklegate. You can find more details on the Meetup App by looking for Short Reads Club, York. It's great for people who don't have time to read a whole novel around their other commitments, or for anyone just getting back into reading, as well as those of us who just love short stories. Some of our past reads include Shirley Jackson, Isaac Asimov, Edna O'Brien, Albert Campus, Naomi Booth, F Scott Fitzgerald, Jhumpa Lahiri and more, and we will definitely be revisiting some of them again in the future. We read across genres, welcoming suggestions from members. We do our best to make the chosen stories freely accessible, as well as providing teas, coffees and biscuits (there is a small attendance fee to cover admin). All are welcome, but there are limited spaces, so please do sign up on Meetup, or feel free to get in touch.

Kate (York)

I currently run a short story book group every second and fourth Sunday of the month, meeting at the Amnesty Bookshop on Micklegate. You can find more details on the Meetup App by looking for Short Reads Club, York. It's great for people who don't have time to read a whole novel around their other commitments, or for anyone just getting back into reading, as well as those of us who just love short stories. We read across genres, welcoming suggestions from members, and usually read two stories per session. I'm also considering starting a short story reading club specifically for stories that fall into the horror/weird fic/uncanny genres. If that would be of interest to you, please let me know.

Folk

by Zoë Gilbert | Buy this book

Whether you read this as a collection of short stories that share a setting, or as an unusual novel about a strange rural town perched between the sea and moors, its inhabitants, rituals, and secrets this wonderfully rich, dark book is perfect for fans of folk horror, the strange, and the weird.

Fourth wing

by Rebecca yarross | Buy this book

I loved the mix of fantasy and romance, how the books grabbed your attention and really made you involved with the characters. Plus there is dragons with humour!

The Wonderground

by Wil Parker | Buy this book

Great read for teens and adults alike. Feels like a JK Rowling novel and Roald Dahl tale rolled into one! World building and relationships between the kids and the new lands and adventures they have - Book Two on its way!

Lynne (Whitby)

I like a wide range of genres, if I want a quick read I enjoy crime fiction. I would like to join an evening book club, make friends as relatively new to the area.
