Genre Journeys: A Book Chat Series - Newcastle City Library

Join us for our Book Chat Series, a relaxed and welcoming space for readers who love talking about books just as much as reading them. Each session explores a different genre, offering a chance to broaden your reading horizons, hear fresh perspectives and pick up inspiring recommendations from fellow book lovers.
From crime to the classics, fantasy, science fiction and graphic novels, every session invites curious readers to dip into something new or revisit a favourite genre. There’s no set reading list and no pressure to finish a particular book, just bring along what you’ve been reading lately, what you’ve loved (or didn’t!) and your curiosity.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader or getting back into the habit, this is a friendly opportunity to connect with others, enjoy lively conversation and discover your next great read - all over a cuppa in a relaxed, social setting.
Session dates and genres:
13 July – Graphic Novels
14 September – Classics
16 November – Science Fiction and Fantasy
Cost: Free
No bookings required, just drop-in!
