Alison (Alnwick)

I'm in my 60's, I used to be in a monthly book club before moving here and I'd like to join one again. Rather than big books on very serious themes, I like contemporary fiction (but am open to trying out new fields, and non-fiction). Recently I've enjoyed Jane Harper's novels (The Dry etc); also Martin Cruz Smith's novels set in Russia, and Mick Herron (Slow Horses). A bit of a soft spot for Ursula Le Guin too. But I'd like to be introduced to other genres and authors. It would be good to meet in eachother's houses, or in Barter Books if they still offer that.

David (Prudhoe)

Looking for a local book club. Is it correct that the Prudhoe Book Club is for ladies only?

James (Stocksfield)

I'm James (29). Fiction-wise I'm into the classics, historical fiction, and humourist type books. Also big into non-fiction too, anything humanities related but mostly history. Would love to meet like-minded people and make book discussion a regular thing

Confederacy of Dunces

by John Kennedy Toole | Buy this book

It's clever and funny. Great characterisation - Ignatius O'Reilly is my new favourite character in all of fiction. I like the epistolary elements a lot too

Valcon (Hexham)

Just moved to Thorngrafton and would like to meet up with other readers to discuss books and also make friends in the area.

Ozo (Berwick-on-Tweed)

I love reading and writing faction, currently writing a series. I like to meet likeminded people. Please would also like to join a book club. I’m new around here. Thanks in advance.

The Rollercoaster Ride

by Anwuanwu Ajoku | Buy this book

It’s just thrilling, a product of faction… It’s my story 😊

Penny (Hexham)

I've been living fulltime in Hexham for 4 years now though been a user of services for 15+ as I used to live in Slaley. I am 15 min walk from the Forum so easy to get to for book club meetings and the cinema. I am a very keen reader - open to all styles so welcome recommendations. I am keen to meet similar minded people - coming up to winter it is time get comfy with a good book!

James (Ashington)

Hi, I’m 33 and recently relocated to Ashington. I only started properly reading again this year, so I still feel a bit new, but I’m really enjoying fantasy and romantasy so far (and happy to explore other genres too). I’d love to join a more casual, social book club — mostly for the recommendations, a good chat, and maybe a coffee or two along the way!

Lynsey88 (Ashington)

Hi, I am 37 and live in Morpeth and looking to join a book club that meets every 2 weeks or a month, just for book recommendations and to get me out of my reading slump with a good natter and a coffee 😆

Abbie (Cramlington)

I’m 25 years old and love romance, fantasy and dystopian books (although I’ll give just about any book a go) 🫶 I’ve always loved the idea of a book club and I’d love to meet more book lovers who I can chat books with.

Chloe (Cramlington)

Hi, I love reading anything romance and fantasy! Also enjoy reading historical fiction, so looking for a group to chat about these books to :)

Liv (Bamburgh)

I am 21 and have just finished university. I have recently found the time to get back into reading for fun again, after 3 years of academic papers. I am fairly open minded but am especially interested in sci-fi/fantasy and LGBTQ+ novels.

BookReader22 (Alnwick)

Thriller lover!

Meg (Alnwick)

I'd love to meet people and talk about all kinds of books. Especially fantasy, classics, crimes and rom coms.

Hello, my name is Mike, 36 and I live in Bedlington, Northumberland. I am a huge horror, fantasy and mystery fan but looking to also expand my horizons too along with like minded people of a similar age at a book group in South Northumberland/Newcastle Upon Tyne. My favourite authors are Stephen King, George RR Martin and Dan Brown

Jonathan (Ashington)

I’m Jonathan, 35, looking for either like minded people to get to know, or a group to meet. I’ve only recently started reading again after a long hiatus, so I’m looking forward to people’s suggestions!

Stacie (Ashington)

Hi, I’m Stacie and I’m 28, I recently moved to the area and would love to meet new people who also love to read. I am part of a book club at my workplace but would love to join other clubs. My favourite genre is psychological thriller but I am open to reading anything, I would like to try and open my mind and read other types of books. Please let me know if you have a book club in the area!

Stacie recommends:

The Last House on Needless Street

by Catriona Ward | Buy this book

So many twists and turns, just when you think you figure it out, it throws another twist at you. Definitely did not expect the ending and kept me hooked from page 1.

Clare (Berwick-on-Tweed)

Hi! I'm newly relocated to Berwick-Upon-Tweed and looking for some bookish pals. I write fiction (I'm not published) and particularly enjoy reading literary fiction (especially coming-of-age themes) and contemporary poetry / prose poetry.

Clare recommends:

Panenka

by Ronan Hession | Buy this book

This is such a tender book that has quite a simple storyline but reveals so much about its characters and the quirks of the human condition.

Mavis (Seahouses)

Middle aged woman, would like to read new literature and discuss and socialise with other readers. I like the classics, Dickins, Austin, Bronte and alot of children's classics too.
