Toni (North Shields)
I'm a 37 year old housewife who enjoys reading fantasy such as dark academia, YA and dark romance. I enjoy Brandon Sanderson's various books including his adult series' and his YA ones, James Pattersons YA books as well as well known books such as Forth Wing. I also enjoy what some would class as children's books with authors such as Darren Shan, Garth Nix and Derek Landy. I enjoy dystopian books. I love exploring new concepts and new characters. I also watch alot of Anime as I feel like they're able to explore for concepts than regular TV does. Dislike biographies, mystery books and adult horror.

Vicki (North Shields)
I'm an avid book reader - and like pretty much everything (once an English Lit girly, always an English Lit girly) huge Joan Didion fan and love a great memoir by someone odd, and fiction of almost all genres. I do have a hard time with badly written smut, but devour it all the same. Looking to meet new people, have a chatter box and giggle about books with new pals.

Hi, I have always enjoyed reading but it is quite a solitary hobby. It would be good to meet with others who share the pleasure and to try new and different genres. I read detective, spy novels travel, family history and classics

Alex (Boldon Colliery)
My go-to genres are sci-fi, mythology and philosophy. But I don't really mind exploring beyond those genres as long as they are quality reads. I want to join a book group because I was to socialise and (although it sounds cheesy) make some friends. I figured talking about common interests would be a good idea.
