Christine (Skipton)

Recently back living in Gargrave after a few years away, almost retired and missing my previous book group. I’m an avid reader of quality contemporary fiction but also open to reading other genres including travel and nature writing. Writers I particularly enjoy include Donna Tartt, Rose Tremain, William Boyd, Julian Barnes as well as younger writers like Sally Rooney. Happy to share hosting and set up a new group if there’s interest.

Hi I have recently moved to Pickering and would love to meet some new people. I enjoy reading a mixture of psychological thrillers and easy to read fiction. I would enjoy being part of a book club to introduce me to reading different books, books I wouldn't necessarily choose myself. I look forward to hearing from you

Thrillingnpschological thriller, the Starr if a trilogy. Very well written and despite the nature of the book, Daniel writes with a lot of humour. The trilogy is fantastic and keeps you guessing throughout.

Retired teacher with eclectic reading tastes keen on walking, reading and Yorkshire. Last three books I read were Demon Copperhead by B. Kingsolver, How they broke Britain by J.O'Brien and Escape Artist by J. Freedland. Keep adding to my reading Bucket List to guarantee immortality. Always looking for book recommendations.

Phil M recommends:

The Trees by Percival Everett
The Trees
by Percival Everett | Buy this book
Like any great satire this book is side splittingly funny and terrifyingly sombre. Set in the Deep South of USA it is essentially a whodunit with the murders occurring with cartoon like regularity. I have told so many about this book and am looking for more Everett - the guy's a genius!

Kristina (Skipton)

Hi, I am a mother to 4 sons, two of who are fully grown and left home, and two teenagers who are growing up too fast for my liking, that being said, I have a lot more time on my hands, so I’m starting to revisit all the things I love doing and haven’t always had the time for, and reading is one of them. I have always loved the idea of book groups, so here I am. Looking forward to joining!?!

Sally (Selby)

I am interested in discussing a range of fiction with other readers. I often choose prize winning novels or long listed novels when not sure what to choose. It would be good to meet others with the common interest of reading fiction.

BookloverJo (Skipton)

Hi, I’ve always loved reading but now find it difficult to find a book that is “unputdownable”. Would welcome recommendations and an opportunity to meet new people/make new friends. No favourite genre although I don’t enjoy fantasy, and count Maggie O’Farrell and Mary Wesley among my favourite authors.

BookloverJo recommends:

After You’d Gone by Maggie O’Farrell
After You’d Gone
by Maggie O’Farrell | Buy this book
