I have always loved reading and now enjoy audio books when out and about walking. I love all genres and rarely "give up on a book". I moved to the area a few years ago but what with working full time and mainly at home, would like to find an outlet/way to socialise and meet new people.

All the colours of the dark

by Chris Whitaker | Buy this book

Beautifully written epic story about childhood trauma, deep friendship, love, loss and survival, wrapped in a small-town mystery thriller. One of those books you are sad to see end.

Have always enjoyed reading and read a wide variety of genre but tend to avoid romcoms. I'm not the speediest reader so hoping to meet someone/some people who fancy meeting monthly for a chat about life and about books! Kettering and Northampton are both easily commutable for me

I’m 24 and getting more into reading lately having just delved into more fantasy/romantacy. I’m in a bit of a slump having just read fourth wing and looking for some more recs. I’m also very open to other genres. Looking to make some book friends and meet new people!

Bruce

I'm a mere 56 years of age and am looking forward to meeting new people who share a passion for reading. My reading is usually focussed on history/phiplosophy/religion, on the non-fiction side; and gothic horror and suspense on the fiction side (along with classic literature).

I’m interested in starting a local book club because there doesn’t seem to be any in Northampton! I’m interested in reading all kinds of genres and am recently getting back into reading and would love to meet some people to discuss different books with

Would like to get back into reading and have discussions. Normally read crime thrillers and drama.

Clare

Hi - I would like to join a book club to meet some people who like to read, chat etc. I like crime fiction and anything grisly! I also like historical fiction.

Luxy

I love reading any type of book. I would love to have a little group of friends who want to chat over tea and books.

Nu

Just got into reading and will like a cute small friendship group where we could read together. I want to do some self improvement so I completed the book Tuesday with morrie and the boy the mole the fox and the horse. I used to read loads as a kid but fell off and I want to get back into it. The gener I like is thriller, psychological twist, twist, crime, Greek mythology, something that will make me cry, emotional books like Tuesday with morrie and as of right now books that can build a better version of me self. I don’t mind fantasy not my cup of tea cl just depends. But hopefully I get to a point where I am open to more genres.

The girls

by Emma cline | Buy this book

So much is going on between this group of girls. Based on the Charles Manson murders so the cult aspect of the text is riveting!

00Kaila00

Hello! The reason why I'm looking to join a book club is to make new friends and read more books!! I like a variety of genres, though Sci-fi, Dystopian, and Historical fiction are probably my top three... I'm wanting to read outside of my comfort zone, as well as get back into the habit of reading regularly (as I'm struggling to find anything that really hooks me lately!). Please don't hesitate to give me any recommendations, as long as I can find the time, I'm willing to read anything.

ChellyBookLove

Looking for a book club to share excitement about books, make some new friends, have a laugh, and share perspectives. I love a wide array of genres; from thriller to historical fiction, to love & romance, to fantasy, even classic literature! I am a lover of all things and whole heartedly appreciate passionate reviews and suggestions.

On The Island

by Tracey Garvis Graves | Buy this book

I love a cast-a-way story, and this is just that, you are gripped from the start! Set in the beautiful scenery of the Maldives, and young boy on the brink of manhood, and a young women trade perspectives on this story of love, survival, and perseverance. It's an easy read, really tugs at the heart strings, and stays with you!

The Last Mrs. Parrish

by Liv Constantine | Buy this book

You will love to hate the main character! You certainly will not be rooting for the villain, but you will be jaw dropped at the lengths she will go to manipulate her way into another woman's marriage. And just when you feel like you've lost hope for the naïve wife, she will surprise the hell out of you in the best way possible! This is a lesson is never underestimating the will to survive.
