I have a fairly wide taste in books both fiction and some non fiction. I generally always have a book or two on the go at any one time.

Aleena

I’ve recently got back into reading again. I used to love a good book back when I was a kid but through school, social media and other distractions I lost that interest. I’m excited to be back to a hobby I loved so dearly. I’m always open recommendations and want to meet likeminded book readers!

NoodlesReads

Try to read a book a week! Would love to join a club to meet fellow bookworms

Vixiebell

I want to discover new book recommendations. I love reading historical fiction, fantasy, cosy crime, YA, literary fiction, women’s fiction. I have started working with the Bookmark reading charity to promote reading in primary school aged children. Please ask me if you’d be interested in volunteering too!

Matthew

I'm in my early 40's, I like a mixture of genres and particular favourites are sci-fi, fantasy and horror. I have started reading again after taking a break, because unfortunately real-life got in the way! Always looking out for book clubs in the area, good recommendations or anyone who wishes to connect through reading and find new friends.

Pammster

Always looking for a new recommendation, and interested in what others are reading. Is there an actual event in Halifax or nearby that I could join?

Hi I’m 50 year old female sick of being on my phone and reading. Want to go back to old school ink and paper looking to join a book club for friends and chat. Any recommendations for a good read TIa

Karoll

Hi, I love reading and would love to join a book club. I have never been in one before. I have just finished Close to Death by Anthony Horowitz

Jason97

Hi I’m Jason, I’ve only just got into reading this year and have been reading the works of John Steinbeck as well as George Orwell and Philip K Dick who have written social novels and sci-fi respectively. I’ve also read books based on war which I find extremely interesting. Happy to recommend books and have them recommended

Troy

Hello, I've just started to take an interest in literature again after spending few years studying, so preoccupied with the dryness of academia. Books that have stood out and remained in my memory from past readings have been strange mix of Herman Hesse, Dostoevsky, Irvine Welsh, and philosophical things. I'm by no means confined to any particular genre, and open to reading new/ unfamiliar areas, and things less intense. It might be good to meet new people, read some things collectively, and talk about books and other topics if and when they come up.

Greenclogs

I'm open to reading most genres (not a fan of romance though). I especially love literature that takes me to places and cultures I've not experienced in real life. Would be interested in meeting for monthly/fortnightly book discussion, online or in-person (though as a full-time wheelchair-user I need accessible venues which are limited in my area).

Last Night at the Telegraph Club

by Malinda Lo | Buy this book

Representation of young lesbian life and love in a time and culture that isn't ready to accept these. Deals with familial rejection and how minoritised groups go about community-building and mutual aid in the face of prejudice and systemic discrimination. Super sympathetic protagonist you find yourself rooting for!

Bookiebook

I like to read :)

Malavika

im new to reading books. irony have many friends and no-one I know likes reading so I thought I could join a book club to meet like minded people.

Book reader 1

Global South meets West Yorkshire

This is a Meetup Group (see the App) for a mix of in-person and online meetings in different parts of West Yorkshire, starting with Halifax. The focus is on global south authors and themes.

Alia

30 year old philosophy and english grad. Just moved to West Yorkshire. Currently in love with the magical realism of Marquez's work and the clarity of Edward Said. Looking for people to challenge my interpretations and to make sure I finish the books I start! Note: I have set up a group on Meetup called Global South meets West Yorkshire.

In the Time of the Butterflies

by Julia Alvarez | Buy this book

This is book is so colorful and immersive, so full of smells and textures, yet at the same time so dark. It is a very personal insight into the lives of those who opposed tyranny in Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Both tragic and inspiring.

Oliver

Hello, I'm Oliver, 32 and live in Halifax. I am quite recently an avid book reader! I find non fictional books very interesting, in particular books like, Sapiens, Prisoners of Geography, the Silk Roads. I am very open minded in exploring other genres and would love to meet/connect with other avid readers :)

Oliver recommends:

The Prisoners of Geography

by Tim Marshall | Buy this book

This book is great as it opened my eyes and mind to a world I've never really considered. How geography has played such a huge role in the power houses becoming power houses, and how certain countries are blessed and cursed by their geography. It's extremely educational and it's helped me see the world for what it is.

Molly

I love fantasy, translated fiction, and horror. Recently gotten obsessed with anything to do with feminism, also. I just want to meet new people and branch out of my comfort zone. \^^/

Molly recommends:

Diary of a Void

by Emi Yagi | Buy this book

I read this in one sitting. Funny and sad, simultaneously.
