Viv S (Selby)

I'm semi-retired 63 yo lady, living in a rural setting near Selby. I love reading crime, mystery and psychological thrillers (both classic and modern), but I'm open to any genre. I'd be interested in joining a book club in the Selby area, to discuss books of course, but also to meet people.

Blood Orange

by Harriet Tyce | Learn more and buy

Twist after twist, and a genuine OMG moment. This is a real page turner, one you'll find very difficult to put down.

Hannah (Guisborough)

I'm a fantasy lover at heart, and there's nothing I enjoy more than getting lost in a beautifully imagined world. I also have a soft spot for historical fiction and any story with historical elements, especially when it brings the past to life. I'm looking forward to discovering new books, sharing recommendations, and chatting with fellow book lovers!

Milo (York)

I struggle to meet new people and figured this would be a good way to. I enjoy reading basically everything, though have a slight preference for Queer romance and fantasy, and want to talk about books with people. I would like to meet people who are over 18, as I'm 19. I am bi and trans (pronouns he/they), and most likely autistic, though still waiting to take my assessment.

Evergreen

by Sam Russell | Learn more and buy

An incredible fantasy that manages to merge multiple mythologies. It follow Adam, the first man, as he moves through human history trying to find his wife, Eve, and accidentally becomes the catalyst for many myths and legends. It's dual timeline set in the the modern day and 1191. It's currently only available as an audio book, but it is free on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast and Audible. The narrator is incredible and it has amazing sound design, making the world feel really lived in.

Adam (York)

Hi, I'm Adam and I'm looking to meet people who like to read. I'm getting a masters in publishing and creative writing at York St John and for the longest time I've been wanting to join a book club to be able to discuss the books I read. Usually I read Sci-Fi books but I also love Horror, Speculative Fiction, Literary Fiction, Classic Literature, and Modern Fiction.

Project Hail Mary

by Andy Weir | Learn more and buy

They saved the world with the power of friendship! And also the movie made me cry over a god damn rock. I love that rock so much. It truly is, amaze amaze amaze.

Jen (York)

I struggle to meet people and build friendships due to my neurodiversity, however I love to read and will read almost anything, I love the sense of escape and adventure it gives me and what better way to meet people than to join with others who love books as much as I do.

Samuel (Harrogate)

Hello, I'm 30 and live in Harrogate. I'd love to find an active local group (or start a new one!). I'm currently making my way through John le Carré's books and have had a bit of an espionage obsession recently, but I like to read widely. Ideally some interesting and challenging contemporary fiction, but I'm open to anything (within reason).

Samuel recommends:

The Rings of Saturn

by W.G. Sebald | Learn more and buy

This is a really difficult book to categorise, perhaps psychogeography? It's ostensibly about a walking trip along the Suffolk coastline, interspersed with personal and historical digressions which blend fact and fiction and share in common an exploration of human fragility.

Anna (Northallerton)

To get to know new people as i'm relatively new to the area, and to hear about good books. I'm particularly interested in Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and desperate to find some people to discuss them with!

Anna recommends:

The Way of Kings

by Brandon Sanderson | Learn more and buy

One of Sandersons best series, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves well written Epic Fantasy.

Danigeereads (Ripon)

I’m Dani. I got into reading Romantacy quite late on. Looking to find book clubs and other people nearby with similar interests!

Benny (Selby)

My name is Ben, i have just started becoming a lover of books. I enjoy reading crime, thriller, true crime, mystery and phycological type books. Anything really that keeps you in suspense or keeps your mind thinking about things.

Benny recommends:

The Family Upstairs

by Lisa Jewell | Learn more and buy

I love the way the book keeps you in suspense and has you trying to figure out what is going on as you are reading. It has some good twist along the way, things you do not see coming.

Elizabeth44 (Harrogate)

Enjoy contemporary fiction crime espinage politics Enjoy debating analysing about books

Wardy (Harrogate)

'The funniest, sunniest, most outrageous book of the year' - DAILY EXPRESS

UFOs 2025 - Uncovered - Part 1

by Marc Wilder | Learn more and buy

UFOs 2025 – Uncovered (PART 1) is designed to provide readers with a simple exploration of the multifaceted world of UFOs, their historical context, and their contemporary relevance. We will delve into the rich tapestry of ufology, examining key cases, cultural impacts, and the scientific inquiries that have shaped our understanding of aerial phenomena. It used to be a fringe topic but not anymore with everything that going on with the investigations in Congress right now. It also contains an assessment of the so called drone incursions seen around the world and a UFO Disclosure timeline when we will know we are NOT alone. The author is VERY qualified and he has studied this topic for eighteen years! The UFO Disclosure date is CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!!!

Sarah (York)

I am an avid reader with a particular love for fantasy, sci-fi and thrillers, though I'll happily pick up pretty much any genre. I'm always up for a good book chat and would like to meet some fellow readers.

Mrs P (Thirsk)

I'm moving to Thirsk and love reading. I'd love to join a group to chat about books.

Bruce (York)

I am looking to discover new books. Love a thriller, cyber, sci-fi or intelligence theme.

Bruce recommends:

Clean Account

by M. B. Rokeley | Learn more and buy

This book isn’t Hollywood hacking. It’s precise, methodical and uncomfortably realistic. It centres on a hidden exploit buried deep in the dark web, and what follows feels less like fiction and more like something that could genuinely exist. Thoughtful, tense and quietly chilling.

Lindsey (Harrogate)

I would like to see my favourite speaker and author, Sophie Jane Lee, at an event talking about her new book, 'Beyond Palatable' - a book about unapologetic self-expression for women who want to reclaim their voice, their power and their joy. www.beyondpalatable.com

I love crime and thrillers but I will read most books that have been recommended. I’ve always enjoyed talking about the books I’ve read and bonding over a love for reading.
