meisha (Guisborough)

hello my name is meisha and i'm 21. I really love reading but struggle socially and find it hard to make friends. I'd like to connect to people who feel similarly or just also really love reading. I like anything from classics to thriller ( currently obsessing over James Patterson ) and also enjoy non fiction books on psychology and metaphysics.

Chris (Skipton)

Hi everyone. My name is Chris Gill and I'm a local author who has had two novels traditionally published by Yorkshire publisher, Fisher King Publishing. My latest novel, 'The Butcher Boys', is a novel about two close friends growing up in rival butchers' shops in a Yorkshire Dales village in the 1970's and 80's and the challenges their search for identity poses to their precious friendship in adulthood. The novel is on sale in bookshops throughout the Dales and has featured favourably in an article in The Dalesman alongside James Herriot and Julia Chapman. I have presented The Butcher Boys in many events across the Dales and am now looking to visit local book clubs to talk about the novel and my writing life. If anyone is interested, please contact me by email at 'Chrisdavidgill67@gmail.com' or by text on my phone number 07956 336311. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you. Very best wishes. Chris. 😊

Amelia (York)

I am a voracious reader of essentially everything, though mostly fantasy adjacent and academic history. I am a university student on break who is going slightly insane with a lack of discussion and a desire to talk about things in detail with another human being. I don’t read much sci-fi or historical fiction, perhaps 20-40 books of each per year, out of 700-1000 total, (but plenty of historical fantasy), but I do enjoy both when well done (which I’m picky about with the historical fiction, courtesy of an academic love of daily life history and the history of trades and trade that mean I get my immersion broken very easily). I’d consider my favourite authors to be Prattchet, Kay, Jo Walton half the time (I either bounce off completely or it Does Things to me, there are two relateable books I’ve read in my life and she wrote both), and Sherwood smith slink less than half the time (mostly Time o Daughters, which I have yet to meet anyone else who has actually read. I don’t care for her most popular few, generally). I will however read pretty much anything, these are just the four that I end up rereading on loop when I’m not sure what else to do and that give me reliable book hangovers on the upteenth reread. The only genre I don’t read much at all is pure romance— I’ll only do it if it’s got a very strong alternate plot or if it’s not actually very romance based romance. This is purely me being very ace and very demiromantic and generally considering romance the least interesting character dynamic.

Pat (Skipton)

I would like to connect with readers interested in fourthway philosophy books, particularly Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, John Bennett, or similar.

Pat recommends:

I would like to find a book club that meets about once a month to share the pleasure of reading, meet new people, find new books to read. A friendly group that doesn’t take itself to seriously.

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!

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!
