Simon (Braunton)

Reading is good for me, but I find little time to do it. A book club could change this.

Jordy (Tiverton)

I love reading and would love to join a book club to make friends and discuss books! I enjoy expanding my literary palette by reading books I wouldn’t have picked myself & reading lots of different genres, so I think a book club would be a great way to do this.

Linds (Honiton)

I love books! Thrillers, romance and SciFi in particular. Looking to move to Tavistock soon and would like to make some new friends in preparation for this. I frequently caravan in the area so plenty of opportunities to meet up before I move!

The Reaper

by Peter Lovesey | Buy this book

A consumate storyteller and spinner of yarns, Lovesey has a wry sense of humour, which occasionally allows a passing chuckle for the unsuspecting reader when in the midst of shudders & shocks on the pages of this murder mystery! The hallmark of a Lovesey trait which can catch the reader to stop in their tracks, backpedal a paragraph, & confirm, yes, that mischeivous use of irony added a touch, enhanced the scene-brought it close to what can occur in real life. It is the kind of short, well plotted book to reach for after a lengthy, intense, serious & cerebral read -a little light relief before reaching for your next C.J.Sansom or Follet.

Jan (Paignton)

Love, love, love books and the worlds they open up for you. I enjoy everything from Non-fiction to fantasy but do like to indulge in a light hearted murder series from time to time. I am new to Torbay and would love to meet and engage with like minded peeps. I am just in my 50s - but also not a day over 21 :-)

Jan recommends:

London

by Edward Rutherfurd | Buy this book

I love the way so much history is woven into a story

Flavia (Barnstaple)

Love reading - not keen on crime/thrillers/sci-fi so have never read anything from these genres. Normally stick to biographies and autobiographies or easy reading romance novels.

gabby (Budleigh Salterton)

I would like to find a book group that reads classic novels and historical fiction. i would also like to meet new people who enjoy reading similar genres.

Taylorspooks96 (Plymouth)

Hi! I’m a 28 year old book lover! I’m autistic, and a single mum to a toddler. I read in any spare time I have, and listen to audiobooks daily when doing chores or cooking. I am isolated and have no friends so I am looking to make some book friends and potentially find a book club for September 2025 when my son goes to nursery! I’m also looking for an online book club that’s local people to me attend as well as I want to make real connections with those in my local area so we could eventually do little coffee/book friend dates, or make a point of doing a little get together with pizza or Chinese and a book at home of an evening! Message me if you think you’d like to be friends! I read pretty much anything, although not very huge on classics overall. I really enjoy fantasy, romance, spice, comedy, lighthearted, cosy reads, horror, witchy and spooky, and pretty much anything else. My only aversion really is classics as I find them a little boring! Some of my favourites are the night circus by erin morgenstern, scythe by neal shusterman, the ghost tree by Christina Henry, and I also loved more recently before the coffee gets cold. I am also on Goodreads if you want to message and ask for my username!:) my current read is phantasma by kaylie smith. ❤️

Phantasma

by Kaylie smith | Buy this book

It is a dark fantasy, with all manner of ghosts and hauntings, dangerous and deadly games to play to seek a prize, romance, and a little spice too.

Wendy (Holsworthy)

Looking to join a book club. I did join one but wasn’t keen on the book choices at all unfortunately. I live between Bude and Holsworthy and near to Launceston too.

Clover (Bideford)

I've been an avid reader since I was a child, and now I would like to explore the social aspect of a book club and meet new/like-minded people! I primarily read nonfiction and classics, but I'd also love to explore new genres.

John (Teignmouth)

I used to be anvid reader, but in more recent years have hardly read at all. It would be great to join a local group (I used to belong to a book group), and get into a practice of reading again (vs. watching TV). It's always good to hear other people's persepctives.
