Bleak-House (Sowerby)

Not into historical stuff but otherwise open. Repurposed (not retired) and keen to get back into reading now not working. Never been in a reading group before.

Keeper of Stories

by Xx | Buy this book

Keeps you interested and is a story within a story - references a historical true story which I bought the book of but not read.

Jamie (Skipton)

I'm an avid reader with eclectic tastes and would like the chance to talk amongst a group with a number of different perspectives. I'm interested in meeting people from all backgrounds.

Jamie recommends:

Underland

by Robert Macfarlane | Buy this book

This book offers a really varied exploration of different "underland" places, featuring different geographies, geologies and anecdotal reflections from Macfarlane.

William (York)

I'm a reader who writes, lives in York and is looking for people who like to take about literature, history and philosophy in pubs.

Debbie (Pickering)

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

Ragdoll

by Daniel Cole | Buy this book

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.

Phil M (Harrogate)

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 | 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!?!

Sam Swales Snowden (York)

I am a long time reader, my favourite go to hobby and even when I’m not reading a lot it’s always a bit before I go to bed ! I read everything fiction, classics, contemporary, memoirs, politics! Would like to meet others to discuss and get inspiration for the next read.

Debbie (Pickering)

Hi I have recently moved to the area and would like to meet new people. I enjoy reading a mixture of fiction including psychological thrillers and romantic stories. I like the idea of a book club to introduce me to different books, ones I may not necessary choose myself.

The Secret Garden

by Frances Hodgson Burnett | Buy this book

Beautifully written, can re read and enjoy every time.

Adele (Harrogate)

looking to meet new people with similar interests

Ellen (Whitby)

Hello! I hope you’re having a lovely day. I enjoy reading and puzzles. I tend to prefer fiction, mysteries, and sci fi, with occasional historical fiction and non fiction too.

Ellen recommends:

Angelology

by Danielle Trussoni | Buy this book

This book combines everything I love; puzzles, mysteries, adventure through the eyes of scholars known as Angelologists. The characters are well developed individuals, and the plot is engaging. It has been a favourite for many years.

SallyC (Helmsley)

I like literary fiction, historical fiction and thrillers.

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 | Buy this book

Superbly written, story of complex relationships and emotions, draws you in emotionally and keeps you hooked till the end.

Rahman (Guisborough)

I like reading all types of fiction. I also like to discuss books

Anonymous (Easingwold)

I’ve just relocated and looking to join a book club to meet new people. I love reading a range of genres from the classics to mysteries and crime.

Sue (Thirsk)

An avid reader, recently widowed. Looking for company.

Hermione (Guisborough)

Sociable, confident, pretty well read in some areas.

Andrew 81 (Bedale)

A keen reader from near Bedale, who is interested in finding a welcoming book group that meets regularly. Hoping to meet new people as well as get interesting reading recommendations and discussions.
