Karen
Hi,I love reading especially historical fiction such as the Karen Maitland books but will try anything ( not chicklit) It would be great to make some new likeminded friends. Either a full on book group, silent book group or 1 on 1.

42 years old. Looking to meet new friends and to breakaway from "doom scrolling" and to get back to reading more! Used to read so much more but fallen a bit out of the habit. Love a good thriller, gothic horror, classics, something a bit quirkier, top 100 must reads......all sorts really, apart from chick lit. Live in the Dh1 area. Open to smaller groups, or even 1 to 1 meet up to chat books and life in general, really. Evenings or weekends work for me.

Jaded
I work full time in a stressful job, reading is the perfect escape and I get engrossed in worlds built between the pages. Recently fallen down a rabbit hole of romantasy.

I am totally obsessed with the tudor era, I'm reading : the shardlake series at the moment. But I do read other history non fiction, especially the medieval period. Also non fiction books on these eras and sometimes other periods in all aspects of history. I tend to read several books at a time, it doesn't get confusing, that's just the way I am!

I enjoy all types of genres and will read any recommendations given. I’ve read all my life but recently very much got back into reading. I’m looking to read some good books but also the social aspect of a book club, leaving the house, social interaction and potentially making friends (which is very hard to do at the age of 30!) rather than sit with a hot drink, a book and my dog or boyfriend to unload my thoughts and feelings of the book onto.

Eleanor
Eleanor, 36, love reading books but finding it difficult to have the perseverance to do it in busy life. I find joining a book club gives me the structure to read more regularly and I love chatting books with others. I moved to Durham just over a year ago and am looking to meet new friends.

Haven't read much new in a while but trying to broaden my horizons a bit now. Previous themes/authors include Martin Amis, John Grisham, Terry Pratchett for fun, and various random bits and bobs and modern european history, currently on a departure with a greek text about pythagoras and a history of women in mathematics, heading on towards babylon or tibet for my next read.
