A BOOK lover is hoping to set up a reading group.

Bob Hannett wants to get a group of avid readers together to discuss all genres of fiction and non-fiction books.

English teacher Mr Hannett says there are no informal book groups where people can meet over a glass of wine or cup of tea and discuss their favourite or newly released books.

He said: “As an English graduate I have read a wide range of texts, but for many years have enjoyed crime fiction.

“However I am happy to try anything.

“I really enjoy reading and it would be good to meet other people to share ideas about books in an informal setting.”

The readers’ club would meet once a month, possibly starting at Mr Hannett’s Newsome home or another suitable venue to discuss a pre-arranged book as suggested by members of the group.
