Grace (York)

Looking to fill my time with reading especially in the New Year! I enjoy an oxford comma, but more importantly mystery/crime/thrillers… and romance or historical fiction. If it sounds interesting, I’d give it a go.

Caitlin (Richmond (North Yorkshire))

I am a first time mum, I’ve suffered with mental health for many years & I love reading. I’m looking to find and make friends and explore different activities. I’ve always struggled socially and so I want to get out of my comfort zone a little and I think a book club would be the best way to start.

Greentree (Harrogate)

I like reading crime fiction but would like to read other genres

Jodes (Richmond (North Yorkshire))

Recently moved to the area, wanting to join a book club!

Ellen (Selby)

I’ve just started my masters in English and would love to be able to talk about books with other people. I like a range of books, but especially lighter fantasy and sci-fi (currently obsessed with The Murderbot Diaries), but I love learning new things through non-fiction too. Not a huge fan of romance specific novels but I can appreciate the genre from the outside, especially if it’s queer.

JillJ (Pickering)

I’m a semi retired woman, who would love to meet people with the same interest in reading. I’ve been in a rut with reading at the moment and would maybe add a few more genres to my norm. It would be great to hear what other people’s thoughts were on different books, and maybe make some friends in the process.

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. 😊

Joules (Leyburn)

I'm looking to join a book club to broaded the genre and authors that I read.I wish to talk about the books we read with othrr enthusiastic readers.

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 search of the miraculous

by P D Ouspensky | Buy this book

Fascinating incite into human psychology, from a foyrthway perspective.

Ruby (Pickering)

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!
