LBC 2026!

We’ve been reading together across Leeds for over a decade now (meep) and have kept going despite the ‘all this’ of it all.

From 2023, we have been alternating between different ways to meet up – to accommodate as many of ours book clubbers as possible.

LBC 3 Reads will continue to run every two months, now In Person at Grounded cafe, city centre.

LBC Horsforth will alternate between In Person and Zoom calls, on a monthly rotation.

LBC White Swan will be back to meeting up In Person.

Regarding our Zoom sessions – it’s practically the same as IRL. Delightful friendly people, zany weird tangents…though much more ‘you’re muted’ than before.

If you’d like to join in, please let me know via leedsbookclub @gmail .com or

You can find us on Bluesky – HERE

Or follow the LBC Channel on whatsapp (information only) – HERE

Security Warning – Impersonation Scams

We are aware that scammers are actively impersonating Leeds Book Club to target authors. They are using Gmail accounts to falsely represent our little book club.

If you receive a message from ‘Hannah’ the organizer (note American spelling), this is NOT a genuine communication.

Currently, the official email for us is leedsbookclub@ gmail.com but I will be seeking to use a domain enabled one going forward.

If you receive a suspicious email, please let me know and if possible report the email address to Gmail (three dots next to reply; report phishing).

These emails can also be reported to the National Cyber Security Centre in the UK) or the FBI’s crime complaint centre at ic3.gov

Thank you for your help resolving this nastiness.
