Dan (Leeds)

When I was a kid, I was an avid reader, especially for long fantasy novels, but I had fallen off along the way. I have recently started to get back into reading and have taken an interest in the romance genre, which I had barely touched before. I am open to broadening my horizons with some choice recommendations and would love to meet up and get to know other readers.

Dan recommends:

The Wandering Inn

by Pirateaba | Buy this book

A high fantasy world with grounded and brutally realistic stakes. The series is incredibly long, and a very slow and difficult start, but the payoff with the world building and character drama is practically unbeatable. Please note this book may not be for anyone who is not looking to read material that covers sensitive topics and there are very visceral and uncomfortable depictions of triggering topics such as assault, PTSD, and racial discrimination. Please read the trigger warnings and proceed with caution.

Seraphina

by Rachel Hartman | Buy this book

A romance/fantasy/ political drama about a musician who has a secret heritage. I especially appreciate the musical references and the unique world building.

Melania (Leeds)

Hello! My name is Melania, I am in my 40s (still feel like 20) and I am Italian! I have been living in the UK for almost 15 years and I love reading and writing, photography and crafting. I read meanly romance, particularly dark romance. Some of my favourite writers are: Harley Laroux, J Rose, Ali Hazelwood, Angel Lawson and Samatha Rue. I would love to meet other readers that share my passion for books and maybe take part to a dark romance book club.

Layla (Dewsbury)

Hello, I'm here to find some fellow bibliophiles, to share recs and bond over books - potentially over cups of life-giving tea. Love fantasy for the pure escapism it provides, and also shamelessly enjoy self-help books. Open to trying different genres too. Want to expand my reading horizons with meaningful or thought provoking literature when the fancy arises. Current read: The Name of the Wind. Recently read: When the Moon Hatched, Atomic Habits. Up next TBR: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Some favourite authors: Sarah J. Maas - ToG/ACOTAR, Nalini Singh, Juliet Marillier Want to join a local book club for those of us in Kirklees/Leeds

June Sunshine (Bingley)

Hi. I hope to join a book club in my local area. I love romance and relationship novels, but also enjoy psychological thrillers & other works of fiction. I would like to read more as I seem to be doing less & less. My hope is to combine this with meeting new people; home-working is great in many ways, but it can be isolating.

Ben (Leeds)

Hey I'm 23 y/o and would like to join a book club to meet some new friends, get some book recommendations and discuss what we're reading. I enjoy many different non-fiction and fiction genres, but mainly gravitate towards fantasy, horror and psychological thrillers - anything dark really

Rakhshandah (Bradford)

I’m Rakhshandah, a passionate lifelong learner with a background in science and a deep love for meaningful conversations. As a mother and carer, my days are often busy and emotionally charged, so I find great comfort in reading, it offers me a chance to pause, reflect, and recharge. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with others who enjoy thoughtful discussion, explore diverse perspectives, and be part of a supportive, enriching community that encourages personal growth through literature. *Reading Interests & Book History* Past Interests: Avid reader of Urdu literature, including novels, short stories, and poetry. Favourite genres included spiritual fiction, romantic realism, and reflective essays. Recently Read Books: 1. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle – Most favourite (deep impact on present-moment awareness and inner peace) 2. Atomic Habits by James Clear – (helped develop small but powerful lifestyle changes) 3. The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak – (appreciated for its spiritual depth and parallel storytelling) 4. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho – (enjoyed for its inspirational message and mystical storytelling)

Leanne (Leeds)

Katie (Leeds)

I am a mum of 3 who enjoys reading. I have always wanted to join a book club where I can discuss thoughts and hear other people's perspectives of a book. I don't read as often as I would like due to working and being a mum. I want to have some me time and do something I enjoy that I can share with others who like the same.

Chris (Shipley)

I work at Age UK Bradford District and we run a monthly book club in Shipley. It's a small and very welcoming group, so come along!

Kate (Wakefield)

I've got a job that's quite boring so I read a lot to pass the time. I've been trying to read a book a week for the last few years. Sometimes one will take a month then I'll get through 3 in a week! Books are my escape and I'd like someone to share my enthusiasm. I read a wide range of things and I know there's great stuff in all genres but my favourites are probably Sci-Fi and dystopias. I definitely read more non-fiction though: science, history, politics, comedy and autobiographies mostly.

Kate recommends:

Babel

by R.F. Kuang | Buy this book

It took me a while to get into this and I thought it might be a bit too academic for me but I persisted and it really paid off once I understood the ideas coming together. It combines history and Sci-Fi to tell important truths about the world which I was somewhat ignorant of. Best book I've read this year.
