Leanne (Redruth)

Hey I'm 35 and I've just started reading again and I'd really like to meet people that are into the same sort of books as me. Recently I've read All five ACOTAR Haunting and hunting Adeline Bad bishop and twisted pawn I mainly like fantasy, romance/dark romance.

Anna (Launceston)

Hi, I'm an avid book reader and particularly enjoy history. I love to read the books that show the other side of the story like The Wild Sargasso Sea about the story of the woman in the attic in Jane Eyre, or about Dicken's mistress, or Emma Hamilton, Nelson's love. I'm a bit of a feminist and probably nosy (I want to know what's going on behind the scenes!) Hoping to connect with other book-minded people in a world that may be losing its appreciation of this wonderful resource :-)

Grenewyze

by Anne Merrick | Buy this book

I'm completely biased because this is my mum's book but she's a proven author with a Carnegie medal recommendation to her name so I think that's ok. This book is about how life might be for a group of young people after ecological collapse - it's about human nature, the good and the bad bits, and it's about hope. It's very topical and like with many books, I find myself wondering where all the ideas came from - frighteningly possible!

Fran (Penryn)

My name is Fran, I am looking to make friends and read more. I already read quite a lot, I’m currently reading Kazuo Ishiguro ‘An Artist of the Floating World’ and before that read his very first novel and I’m really enjoying him. I really like literature and I’m looking to connect with others who do too. I also live in Penryn!

Penryn Library; 2nd Monday at 3pm (Penryn)

We meet in the library and choose a book from Cornwall library's book club sets. This means that we often read books and authors which are new to us.

Emilyn (Bodmin)

26 enjoys reading horror, thrillers and fantasy. Looking for book clubs or new friends to share some book recommendations!

Wendy (Bude)

I have always loved reading though I’ve never joined a book club. After living in Bude for over 2 years I think it might finally be time! I still enjoy working as a glass artist, though no longer full-time, so I’d rather meet up in evenings.

Badly Behave Bookclub (Newquay)

Each meet up will be different, due to conversations, number of people and location. We also get together for social events and other bookish events, like photoshoots....

Badly Behaved Bookclub (Newquay)

I enjoy reading so much, that I wanted to share my love for the hobby with other like minded individuals. I am passionate about making reading more inclusive (We read smut but any genre could be picked.) It is amazing to spend time with others whom share the same passion, or obsession 😉 What to Expect..... Each meet up will be different, due to conversations, number of people and location. We also get together for social events and other bookish events, like photoshoots.... Reading is not always going to be achievable; from month to month life can get in the way. Therefore, if the pick of the month wasn't for you... okay.. cool, let's not spend loads of time talking about it. Let's just play games and chat with our book besties.

Kirsty J (Redruth)

I've found solace in books since i was very smalland am an avid reader still but feel it might be good to have more social environments to perhaps expand my reading but also to connect with like minded people. I'm 39, live in St Day and work in fitness where I am up very early so prefer earlier meetings as my bedtime is 8pm!

Kirsty J recommends:

The Dark Tower

by Stephen King | Buy this book

The beginning of an epic adventure series with incredible detailing and world building you can read it over and over and take in new parts each time. A little more adult, with more dark and complex vibes at times than the lord of the rings but similar adventure feel.

fedboz7 (Launceston)

Looking for bookish friends in launceston. In my 20s. Love thrillers

Marie99 (Newquay)

I like funny,romantic,science,food books

Chris (Helston)

Hi I like to read sci fi, fantasy, horror. But if the story is good i will read anything. I want to meet up with like minded people where we can discuss what we have been reading and hopefully strike up new friendships.

Lorna (Wadebridge)

Hi I’m 55 and love reading (obviously!) walking, exercise, food and wine

Lorna recommends:

Secret History

by Donna Tartt | Buy this book

An oldie but a goodie! Tartt’s ability to transport the reader into her world is just unbeatable. But (cheating here) I would also say the Hilary Mantel trilogy are ALSO my favourites As Is the Margaret Atwood Oryx and Crake trilogy …. Sorry, I find it so hard to pick a ‘favourite’….can you tell?! I’m also a massive Stephen King fan…

Lorna (Wadebridge)

I love books - all kinds of fiction but am totally open to non-fiction too! I use audible and paper to get my ‘fix’ and would love a book club to get recommendations, discuss, make new friends and have an excuse for a glass of wine :)

Rachel (Penryn)

Looking for a book club to enjoy and discuss good books!

Janine (Liskeard)

I will read pretty much anything but my usual taste is non fiction (memoir, travel writing, essays,) plays, poetry, literary fiction and classics. I do like genre stuff too - crime and sci-fi mostly but really I’m not fussy and will give anything a chance. I would like to meet others to socialise with and talk books :)
