Debz

Mid 30s looking for an evening book club to make new friends, keep me reading and enjoy a good chat.

Chris

I'm 42 and recently moved to Market Harborough. I'm seeking new friends and connections in the town and hoping to expand my social network. I'm particularly interested, but not exclusively, in the genres of fantasy, grimdark, science fiction and historical fiction. It would be great to become part of a book group and be able to discuss my thoughts with others.

The Beekeeper pf Allepo

looking to meet like minded people and share my love of books with someone!

Ryan

I'm 32, trying to reconnect socially and meet some people from the local community. I moved to Market Harborough last year and have spent a lot of time stuck inside reading by myself! I really enjoy exchanging ideas and listening to different thoughts and opinions.

Name of the Wind

by Patrick Rothfuss | Buy this book

It's lyrical throughout, each and every sentence feels so deliberate and meaningful. It's told from the perspective of an infamous character who is retelling their story, while they hide from the outside world. It's beautiful and tragic, in a world of characters so three dimensional, they feel tangible.

My Brilliant Friend

by Elena Ferrante | Buy this book

The story feels so helplessly real. Two young women growing up in a post war Naples facing the inherent misogyny of the time. The harrowing journey is told both masterfully and plainly. It's best described through this line from the second book: "I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured."

Bee

I’m a 38 mum of 2 (10&15) looking to get out of the house, I’ve had a busy career and not much social time so would be nice to get out meet others in the locality perhaps a glass on wine now and then too

The Salt Path

by Raynor Winn | Buy this book

Based on a true story, feel every moment, living life on the edge and coming out the other side with such a wonderful book that I’m pleased to see has been so successful for her and her family. Totally inspiring.

Lorna

Seeking a local book club to motivate myself to read more and meet new friends. Am mid 40s with a busy job and 2 teens so time to make time for myself. Would be great to meet over wine and nibbles. Don’t have a specific genre preference but enjoy thought-evoking fiction and non-fiction :)

The Picture of Dorian Gray

by Oscar Wilde | Buy this book

Creates a sense of wonder about right and wrong and the difference about societal and individual values and judgement.

Bookreader24

Would like to join a reading group to motivate me to read more regularly.

Catherine

Avid reader seeking evening book group.

Emily

Knocking on 40 with two children and a busy career. I like the idea of a regular chance to sit down with others and chat about a book, preferably with a drink and something sweet to nibble on. I gravitate towards historic fiction, books that explore other cultures and fantasy novels but part of the attraction is to read things I wouldn't pick up myself.

Ursula

Retired (almost) radiographer. Love fiction, social history, I am open to most genres. I have never been in a book group and would like to join one locally.
