Between Two Fires

by Christopher Buehlman | Buy this book

An excellent book that uses Christian lore and embeds it with the unique atmosphere of the Dark Ages. All the characters are three-dimensional, well developed within the context. Excellent horror book and looking forward to reading more from the author.

Jo Ward

by Every Contact Leaves a Trace: My Life as a Crime Scene Investigator | Buy this book

Gripping memoir from a Senior Crime Scene Investigator in the UK, whom I had the amazing opportunity to meet in person as part of my course. This is an excellent reflection of a day in the life of a CSI and how the job scene evolved into being more accommodating with women (for the better, always with a keener eye!) and PTSD.

Good Cop, Bad War

by Neil Woods | Buy this book

An eye-opener towards the less fortunate people of our society, and a major issue around the world. Neil's efforts as the chairman of LEAP UK to decriminalise the illegal substances are something to think about. He explain the snowball effect of the current situation, from gang violence and domestic abuse to money laundering and corruption.

Georgie Bee (Barnsley)

I'm a primary school teacher who loves to read. I tend to read crime books and thrillers. I'd like to join a book club to discuss great reads. I'm pretty new to the area so I'm looking to meet new people to socialise with as well.

Dead Men Do Tell Tales

by William R Maples | Buy this book

Fascinating real life stories about anthropology. It uncovers the mystery of how and when people died or the age they were when died.

Claire (Doncaster)

Civil servant who just loves to read. Degree in English lit and history and need to get back into reading instead of working non stop. Happy to read any genre but not the biggest autobiography fan!

Sophie (Barnsley)

Hi! I’m Sophie. I moved back from abroad to Barnsley and I’m looking to join or help start a book club (in person and online) to share all the fun books that I don’t have many people to talk about to in person anymore. I’m currently finishing Ruthless vows, but love fantasy, romance, thriller, action, and various other genres. I even bought a non-fiction one recently which is a bit out of character for me.

The Song of Achilles

by Madeline Miller | Buy this book

It’s a combination of modern language mixed with a beautiful take on an ancient romance

KevinMatthew (Barnsley)

41 and just moved to near Barnsley. Used to be an English teacher, now working in an unrelated field, and would like to get to know new people in the area by sharing love of reading. I feel I should be really arcane with what I’m reading, but I generally like a good middle of the road thriller. Recently I’ve been working through all the Lee Child and Jo Nesbo books and now on to Tom Clancy, currently reading Rainbow 6. I like a bit of dystopian too and would say 1984 is my favourite/ best book of all time.

CME (Barnsley)

Hi I am a young at heart 52 year old. I live in west Barnsley area and am interested in joining or setting up a book club. An avid reader of a wide range of fiction, historical fiction etc. Recent reads: American Dirt, Butter, The Nightingale, Orbital

Book that the famous tv series was based on!

Tracey (Doncaster)

Love reading a huge range of genres. Hoping to find a book club where I can discuss and analyse my reading. Also hope to read more in 2025 and this will motivate me.

BrooksBooks (Barnsley)

31 year old teacher who is wanting to make more time for things that I love. One of my resolutions was to join a new book club to gain even more variety to my reading & reach my book goals (40 this year!). Interested mainly in fiction (historical fiction, contemporary fiction, fantasy, romance & thrillers!)
