James (Bedford)

I'm James, I'm 29. I have only really started reading in the last 3 months, but I have been doing a lot of it. So far I have read a few Stephen Kings, about 10 Chuck Palahniuks, both of Robert Webbs books and a few other non fiction books. I am interested in exploring some other genres. My favourite books so far are IT and The Stand by Stephen King and Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. I would like to meet other people who enjoy reading and talking about books

Stan (Bedford)

Would love to join or start a book club in Bedford to geek out over fantasy, sci-fi or historical fiction. Don’t really know how book clubs work, but I’m assuming it’s somewhere we get to hold intelligent conversation about why main character is being such a fucking nincompoop. Which I am well up for! Preferably over cake. 26

Muna (Luton)

Hey I would love to join an in person book club!

Hitt (Bedford)

I am a 24 year old who loves reading and talking about books. I really want to find like minded people that I can discuss books with. I am primarily a fantasy and romance reader but i do dabble with contemporary stuff as well, I am willing to try other genres as well and widen my horizons.

Red Rising

by Pierce Brown | Buy this book

This was my first dive into Sci-Fi, and I absolutely loved it! The author creates such a great atmosphere, and introduces some really interesting characters and plots. Go into this book blind as I did!

Samantha (Bedford)

Hey, I'm Samantha, 25 from Henlow 👋. I mostly enjoy reading crime, thriller, horror and romance but happy to try something new also. I love a book with a good twist! I am looking to make some new friends in the area and am open to joining a local book group, or meeting 1-1 for a cuppa ☕️💕

Samantha recommends:

We Were Liars

by E. Lockhart | Buy this book

I love the ending - what a great twist. The only book I have ever read more than once. Some other honourable mentions for me are The Butterfly Garden & Tattooist of Auschwitz

Rachel (Luton)

I'm 24 from Luton looking for a possible bookclub nearby :) My favourite genres are classics, sci-fi & thrillers, but I'm open to reading pretty much anything

Rachel recommends:

I who have never known men

by Jacqueline Harpman | Buy this book

I loved how this had both a really intriguing plot, but also an examination of what the human experience is to live and love. I never knew where this book was going next. It's a short novel yet full of so much.

Jill (Bedford)

Formed a book group in Bedford more than 30 years ago and it is now probably on the point of expiring : I am kind of ancient, but still read widely and prefer something that needs an effort , eg classics, literary novels, biography ,for discussion (read a lot of crime, etc, also but don't specially want to discuss this!). Looking at your listings, I wondered about Ndidi's group, but don't know where / when it meets?

Quinn (Dunstable)

I'm both introvert and extrovert, I like quiet alone time most of the time but would like to get chatty about books. I like Brit Bennett, Jodi Picoult, Lesley Pearse and anything psychological thriller, D.I. Dan Riley books. I don't like big groups of people so even 1:1, and small groups is more my thing.

Dallergut Dream Department Store

by Miye Lee | Buy this book

Totally new ideas in imagination

Tracey (Bedford)

A keen reader

Tracey (Bedford)

I'd like to join a book club to expand my reading to books and genre's I wouldn't necessary be drawn to. Getting to know new people would also be great. Anywhere near or in Bedford would be good.

Bev (Biggleswade)

Hi, I'm a community connector and I am seeking clubs that my clients can attend in Bedfordshire to talk books and make new friends. My clients are from Central Bedfordshire.

Michelle (Luton)

To make friends who love reading

Chloe (Dunstable)

I’m 26, a first time mum and I read all genres of books and especially love all kinds of romance books, even the dark ones lol. There is not one genre of books that I don’t own or read, I like to change it up so I don’t get into slumps. Would love to find a book club to meet people with similar interests and just have someone to chat books with!

Ndidi (Bedford)

I've started a book club called the Reading Nooks and Great Books Literary Club (think the Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society) where we tackle some of the world's greatest novels over lively discussion. The group is open to both new and seasoned readers of world classics. The main aim is to share our love for literature and the ways it has expanded our worldview. In doing so, we hope to echo Francis Bacon's idea of the good life: "old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read." 📚🌼🌻📜 You can find the group on Meetup!

Ndidi recommends:

The Count of Monte Cristo

by Alexandre Dumas | Buy this book

I read this over the summer last year and it was such an exciting read! It's got a little bit of everything for everyone: adventure, drama, romance, suspense and of course there are themes of love, forgiveness and kindness there. Such an engaging read, would highly recommend if you'd like to feel like a 12 year old again (in a good way)

Josie (Bedford)

Hello! 👋 I’m Josie, in my 20s, based near Shefford and love reading romance, crime/thrillers, and self-improvement books, though I’m open to all genres! I’d love to join a book club to meet new people and share great reads. Let me know if there’s a group I can join, or feel free to drop me a message if you’d like to chat about books in person over a cup of tea! 😊
