Gwen (Blaydon-on-Tyne)

I’ve loved reading since childhood & now have more time to indulge. I’ve read different fiction genres from thrillers, mystery, occasional easy going chick lit, but have been enjoying historical fiction for a while. I am fairly new to the area & looking to find a local book group to chat about books we read & broaden my horizons, socially & in literature.

The Women

by Kristin Hannah | Learn more and buy

This is about the young women who served as nurses in Vietnam. Thrilling, engaging, moving & eye opening to a world most of us will never experience. Highly recommended

Lisa (Gateshead)

Love reading as a wind down. Joining a book club would encourage me to read more & make new like minded friends. Read all sorts of genres.

Anna93 (Houghton le Spring)

Ive been absolutely sucked into the romantasy genre and can’t get enough, it’s completely brought me back to my kindle but I’m desperate to talk to someone about the books I read! Open to chats, sharing goodreads profiles and next read suggestions
