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!

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?

Robin

Forth wing

It’s easy to read and is exiting.

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

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 | Learn more and buy

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!

Louise

I enjoy many genres including thrillers, crime, science fiction and romance novels.

evglen

I’ve not been in Halifax long and it would be nice to chat with other readers. I read mostly modern and classic literary fiction, plus quite a bit of non-fiction (usually history).

Pale Fire

by Vladimir Nabokov | Learn more and buy

It’s the most interesting book I’ve read so far this year. Very odd, funny, and brilliantly written.

Host a book club

Hi all! I run a coffee shop in Halifax and we'd love to use our space to host a book club, if anyone is looking for a venue please get in touch :)

AnneR

New to Northowram from Buckinghamshire, I’d like to find new friends. I like detective novels, but am open to suggestions. My current ‘find’ is Mick Herron. In my previous book club, we all read whatever we liked, and then met up every 6 weeks to discuss, and perhaps recommend.

Bookiebook

I like to read :)

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. \^^/

Diary of a Void

by Emi Yagi | Learn more and buy

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

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.

Emma

Fiction and crime

Looking to join a local book club near me

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.

Alia recommends:

In the Time of the Butterflies

by Julia Alvarez | Learn more and buy

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.

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

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
