Hi I love reading and average anywhere from 1 to 3 books a week. I work in Mental Health and am looking to make new friends in Barnsley. I moved here 20 years ago but only seem to meet people through work. I am an empath, but I'm chatty and would like to find friends who also love reading.

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.

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.

Hi, my name is Veronica Shaw. I am a disabled adventurer. I eat books for breakfast. I write books to spread the word to everyone. I'm looking for a book club to discuss both my books. Their genre can be a bit sticky. WW2, Mental Health, Travel for the older, younger and people who need a bit of help... because we still want to see the world. If we can.....and books that have mystery thrillers written all over them. I used to belong to an American book club and explored various genres with them. So I have lots to offer. I'm also looking to give reviews to those who enjoy writing. Like most writers and avid readers i am a little excentric.

Hi! I’m Katie, I’m looking to join a book club preferably in person but don't mind online as well. I have always loved books and have recently found joy in discussing different books and getting peoples views on them! I’m currently making my way through The Thursday Murder Club series, but love fantasy, romance, thriller, action, and various other genres. There is not much I won't read but I'll admit to not reading much non-fiction but always open to suggestions.

I read every single day, also writing my own novel. I’m looking to expand my reading genre and to speak with people who have the Same love of literature as I do. I’m 33 years old so I’m in the age where None of my friends have time to read so I have nobody to discuss my thoughts with. My favourite books are the happy ever after “easy readers” but I also have an appreciation for some Shakespeare, my favourite is McBeth, and poetry about Love. I don’t enjoy sci-fi novels as I like a story which is believable and relatable in some circumstances. I live with my boyfriend and my dog close to the town centre and work in further education which is incredibly rewarding, but stressful at times which is one of the reasons I love reading so much. It’s an escape from the monotony of life, and every book I read makes me a better writer
