CHERYL

I am considering setting up a book club and it would be helpful if you could let me know if this is something you would be interested in. October 2026 post. Please let me know what you would expect in terms of location and frequency - and anything else which might be useful! Whitehaven based but could be wider afield. Had to put cockermouth as Whitehaven not listed!

Dry

by Augusten Burroughs | Learn more and buy

Fascinating insight not only into one person's battle with the bottle but also his road to being sober. Funny (laugh out loud funny in places) but also poignant. Makes you think.

I'm relatively new to the area and looking to make friends with other book lovers. I read pretty much every genre under the sun.

Hi, I'm looking to take up more reading in my spare and social activities. I am early retired due to health issues. I used to do a lot of reading years ago. I enjoy most topics, history, thrillers, romance, autobiographies, self help etc.

I am looking for people to read and discuss books with! I am a big fan of a range of genres but I’m really into both fantasy and contemporary fiction at the moment. Some five star reads from this year would be The Glutton, Boulder and Arrangements In Blue.

The Secret History

by Donna Tartt | Learn more and buy

absolutely excellent character development, and superbly immersive writing.

1984

by George Orwell | Learn more and buy

Very surprising if you’re not familiar with it. Both innit plot content, and in how wonderfully easy and compelling it is to read.

Tracy

Love a good book. Presently enjoying Orbital. Would be fun to link up with others and share ideas/ thoughts.

Karen

I'm moving to the area and reigniting my interesr in reading. Mainly fantasy and crime but love disvovering new stuff outside if these. I would like to meet up with those who like books, walks and nature and meet local people socially. I don't take myself too seriously and hope to buy in the area eventually so want to find my people while finding good reads.

Veronica

I'm moving to the area and I'd like to meet people who love to read. I mostly read sci-fi, fantasy and romance but other genres as horror, thriller, historical fiction and non fiction (like biographies, history and science) could be found in my bookshelves.
