Hi, looking to join a book club :) I like character-driven stories mainly, with a slower pace and lots of description. I also read historical non-fictions and biographies of figures with interesting lives! I would love to discuss my thoughts and hear those of others.

I live in Newcastle. I love reading, but haven't done so much reading outside academic and work related books. I am an author myself. But I want to get back into reading and think having a group will be helpful. Genres of interest are, christian faith, relationship building, wealth/money, and autobiography. I will like to connect with you if any of your genre aligns with mine.

It provides understanding on the person of Trinity in simple and non-confusing terms. It would be great for anyone who have questions about who the Trinity is, what it means, how it works, etc.

Divergent

by Veronica Roth | Learn more and buy

This book was a lifeline for me as a youngster and it's still one of my favourite reads. It challenges stereotypes and explores identity in a dystopian setting.

Hilary

I want my group to meet on zoom. I am at present in a book group via zoom but the group is shared zoom and actual meeting and l fi d that the hybrid set up does not work well. My interests are wide and varied but perhaps Scottish history and Latin. I am very elderly and fairly immobile, but fortunately with my wits. I live in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne. I have three adult children none of whom lives in the north east.

It's a romance book that I read 38 books ago and I still think of it on a daily basis. it broke me but it was worth it.

I’m a total bookworm and book collector (I’m Learning these are two completely different things). I’ve been an avid reader since I was a child and I enjoy a wide range of genre, though crime fiction is my go-to. I’m a bit of an introvert but I’m trying to push myself to meet new people, so I’d love to join a book group or two and meet some like minded people.
