Chloe (Ely)

I’d love to make some friends to talk about books with, and maybe go on little reading dates :) I love fantasy, romance, romantasy, and thrillers. I’m a slow reader, on track for 24 books this year but still super happy with that!

I'm just starting to get back in to reading again, and I'd love to try a book club. I've mostly been reading romance books recently (easy things to get me back in to reading regularly), but I'm looking forward to reading more challenging genres.

Station Eleven

by Emily St John Mandel | Buy this book

dystopian fiction, intertwining stories of the different characters

Lasto4ka

Hi! I used to read in English when I lived in Ukraine, and I instilled a love of reading in my older child. When I moved to England, I stopped reading — a new country, a new language, helping the children adapt to a new place… it was hard, and it’s still hard. I try to study the language every night, but I don’t have many opportunities to practise it. The children have made good progress at school. Now the children are on holiday, and my older child has reading time, just like before. I really miss it. This will be my first time joining a book club Thank you!

Lucie

I’m a mum to a 14 month old. I love reading, recently got into fantasy but I love psychological thrillers and crime, romance and romantasy! I’d love to meet other bookish friends who I can meet up with and talk about books with! 📚

Kfelton

Recently moved to the area and love reading. Looking to join a book club to meet new people and discuss literature. I am a fan of fantasy novels, but also read a lot of translated fiction from Japan and Korea.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold

by Toshikazu Kawaguchi | Buy this book

It's an easy read that packs an emotional punch. The first in the series and will have you easily hooked. The encounters draw on stories we can also easily relate to and themes about loss, regret and love.

Jack (Ely)

Hi, I love reading(somehow managed over 100 books last year!) and would love to find some bookish friends to chat to about recent reads! I read a bit of everything, from Fantasy(lots of Brandon Sanderson this year) to romance. I'm currently reading Babel

Jack (Ely) recommends:

The Way of Kings

by Brandon Sanderson | Buy this book

An epic fantasy that starts off the stormlight archive series. Kaladin's origin in the bridge crew is incredible and really hooked me in to the series.

Alex S (Ely)

Hiya, I’m Alex. I’d love to have a natter over coffee or wine with some bookish people in Ely. I love fantasy, sci-fi, romance, nf, you name it 🤗 (the only thing I can’t manage is horror!) I’m trying to reach a goal of 100 books this year and could do with some company/moral support!

Still Life

by Sarah Winman | Buy this book

Found family, Italy and a parrot, this book has my whole heart! Sarah Winman just gets better with every book

Chloe

Hey! I’ve always lived in Ely and love to read so hoping to meet some new people who I can talk to about everything! Love a classic or a fantasy book x

Jessica

Hey, I'm 30 - mum of 2 kids near Cambridge. I enjoy most genres which include thriller, romance or fantasy and have a subscription to fairyloot, illumicrate and Locked Library (as well as some of their sub-genres) which I really need to work through! So if someone wants to team up with me .. that would be great:)

Emma

Super fell in love with reading again a couple of years ago after a deep dive into TJR, Colleen Hoover and other books like that. Love a bit of romance, with the odd mystery or mystical (currently reading Court Of Claws) to switch it up

Alfred

Hi! I moved to Ely last year and am looking to meet new people and expand my reading horizons. I am currently focused on reading classics, whether that be fantasy, romance or sci fi!

Alfred recommends:

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

by Douglas Adams | Buy this book

This book and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are what I turn to when I need a book to make me smile. It is effortlessly funny and tells a compelling mystery that only gains value on a reread.

Bryony

New author - looking to find local book clubs to share my novel!

Bryony recommends:

The Seven of Us

by Bryony Andrew | Buy this book

This debut modern day unconventional romance novel of lives, loves, and losses as it follows the stories of three women, brought together.

Kat

I love reading and talking all things books, it would be great to find or start a local book club and hopefully meet others who feel the same!

Miranda

I'm a fantasy romance lover mostly, but I also enjoy the odd mystery, comedy, dystopia and sci-fi. Looking for people to yap with about cool stories and hopefully make some friends along the way!

Miranda recommends:

Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body

by Sara Pascoe | Buy this book

This book is nothing like my usual genres, it's non-fiction and talks about evolution. BUT it is the only book I will recommend to 100% of the people I meet. Comedian Sara Pascoe talks through her experiences as a woman wanting to understand the evolution of our relationships, both with others and ourselves. It's hilarious and I actually learned so much without even realising it. Everyone should read this book as it gives such a raw and unfiltered look into sex, relationships, our bodies and how and why these have evolved over time. Everyone should read this book.

Jez

Rural-based historical researcher

Eliza_bethreads

If we were villians

by M. L. Rio | Buy this book

It's a incredibly intricate dark academia thriller, each time you read it you notice more hints to the the big question. Why is Oliver in prison? So, gripping

Emjar05

Hey, I love reading crime , history and romance and I’m looking to find people who have similar taste. I’m also a massive Harry Potter fan so would love to talk about that as well
