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.

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!

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.
