Teddy24 (Newcastle upon Tyne)

I'm moving to Newcastle with my wife at the end of the month - we're moving all the way from Southampton! I don't know anyone in Newcastle, apart from my grandparents and I'd really like to meet some new people! I love reading, both books and graphic novels. I like a whole variety of genres and am open to trying new things!

Divergent

by Veronica Roth | Buy this book

This book was a lifeline for me as a youngster and it's still one of my favourite reads. It challenges stereotypes and explores identity in a dystopian setting.

His Dark Materials: North Light

by Philip Pullman | Buy this book

A great first book in a brilliant trilogy, it's amazing to read no matter what age you are. The world building in this series is really well done and the characters are really well developed.

Olivia95 (Sunderland)

Looking for a book club for a 14 year old girl I support.

Emsmith (Houghton le Spring)

I enjoy reading dark romance and romance novels. I love creative writing and looking to get to know people of similar interests and get out the house which is something I don't do often and would enjoy meeting new people :)

isabella (Sunderland)

hello, my name is isabella, i'm 16 and i'm hoping to meet some friends to talk about books with as me and my friend would like to start our own book club/bookish group. some of the genres that we're interested in are: fantasy, philosophy, romance and classical literature however we're open to reading anything!! however, we're only willing to meet up with people who are 21 and under as that will be more suitable for us.

KT (Sunderland)

I'm a teacher who took early retirement to look after family and live life more fully. I love all things 'bookish' ... the feel & smell of a book will always be a joy to me. I will read absolutely anything but I am drawn to books which leave their mark long after I've read the last page. Looking to join ( or even start up) a book club in Sunderland.

Stacey (North Shields)

Recently separated and starting life alone, looking to find new friends with similar interests as a little lonely.

Ells (Sunderland)

Hey, i’m an avid reader, especially contemporary and literary fiction, I love any kind of book about morally-grey women, women who are off-putting or just a little bit weird e.g. Boy Parts by Eliza Clark. I also like reading non-fiction, particularly more political books, I love anything Andrea Dworkin. I’d love to find others with similar reading interests to myself.

Amy (Sunderland)

Hi 👋 I’ve always been a reader, although after a long period of not reading I’m finding my love for reading again! I enjoy fantasy books and contemporary romance usually but always looking for recommendations!

Becca (Gateshead)

Hi! My name is Becca and I enjoy reading a mix of genres, typically switching between fantasy themed books and fiction! I was looking at starting/joining a small circle that gets together for a cuppa and reads short books of all different genres. Another idea - my background and interests centre around environmentalism, and if people are interested I would love to start a space specifically centered around that!

Claire (Ryton)

I started a reading challenge at the beginning of the year after not having read for a long time! 10 pages a day….completed it by the end of Feb. Always looking for new books!

Crier's War

by Nina Varela | Buy this book

In short: It's a fantasy Duology that's Sapphic and full of action. More details... After the War of Kinds ravaged the kingdom of Rabu, the Automae, Designed to be the playthings of royals, took over the estates of their owners and bent the human race to their will. Now, Ayla, a human servant rising the ranks at the House of the Sovereign, dreams of avenging the death of her family… by killing the Sovereign’s daughter, Lady Crier. Crier, who was Made to be beautiful, to be flawless. And to take over the work of her father. Crier had been preparing to do just that—to inherit her father’s rule over the land. But that was before she was betrothed to Scyre Kinok, who seems to have a thousand secrets. That was before she discovered her father isn’t as benevolent as she thought. That was before she met Ayla. Set in a richly-imagined fantasy world, Nina Varela’s debut novel is a sweepingly romantic tale of love, loss and revenge, that challenges what it really means to be human.
