TomH (Brixham)

I am currently reading mainly fiction - Ann Patchett's 'Whistler', Colm Tóibin's 'The News from Dublin' - but am interested in a range of subjects from art, culture, and social history, to neuroscience, nature and philosopy. I live by the sea in Brixham and love swimming throughout the seasons. I am interested in joining a book club where people of all interests and outlooks share reflections and ideas.

Sally (Newton Abbot)

Hi. I love reading for pleasure and would like to join a local book group. Like various genres- crime, thrillers, history, comedy, scandi noir …not so much sci-fi or fantasy. Like the idea of a low key, casual book group to chat, get new ideas and meet people.

I want to join a book club in Exeter or online via Teams / Zoom. I mainly like to read horror, crime, Japanese locked room, historical travel, gothic horror, classic crime and classic horror / ghost books. I am 58 years old and work in the NHS.

Reign (Torquay)

Hello, I'm 21 and I want to join book club that has people who like Romance books and all the popular books seen on tiktok and Instagram. Also some of the books that are now being made into shows on prime video. I'd love to talk and read and make new friends since I'm new around. I just moved to South Devon.

Lucy (Seaton)

Hi! I'm 26 and live in East Devon. I'm hoping to meet some new people and hopefully make some genuine friendships. I love reading and will happily read pretty much any genre, so I'm always up for swapping book recommendations. I also love coffee, wandering around garden centres, and doing crafts like crochet, and I'm also trying to get into watercolour painting. I'm pretty laid-back and happy to meet up as little or as often as suits. Whether it's grabbing a coffee, having a browse around a bookshop or garden centre, or just having a chat about the latest book we've read, it'd be lovely to get to know some like-minded people.

Lucy recommends:

11.22.53

by Stephen King | Learn more and buy

The number of pages in this book can seem quite overwhelming at the start, and with it being a Stephen King novel, there is a perception that it’s going to be a thriller, but it really isn’t. It’s such an addictive read, and the fact that it had so many pages actually made me sink into the story even more. I loved the vintage feel of it and all the characters. It’s one of those books that completely draws you in and makes you feel immersed in the world.

Sharon (Plymouth)

I have just got back into reading books again, and realised what I was missing! I enjoy reading anything but have always appreciated a Jodi Picoult book. I have been involved in book clubs before and miss the dissecting and discussion of the chosen monthly book .

Melanie (Tavistock)

Looking to make connections with book lovers. I am an eclectic reader. History, biographies, Classics (Jane Austen George Eliot. ) Anita Brookner at the moment and The Other Bennet Sister. Retired from Education . Reading as fun and not work !

Shaun (Plymouth)

Always loved reading. Now retired. Would like to join a book club for intellectual stimulation among like minded people.

Shaun recommends:

Sons and Lovers

by DH Lawrence | Learn more and buy

It’s a powerful autobiography about love and identity set just before the First World War in a Nottinghamshire pit village. The author’s deep, powerful and often destructive maternal bond both clashes and amplifies his relationship with two women. It also explored concepts of political class, industrialisation, social norms and discovery of self. I first read/discovered this through English Lit O Level at my grammar school in Plymouth.

Not in one at the moment (Torquay)

Not in one at the moment

Anthony (Exeter)

Action thrillers horror

Anthony recommends:

Sharpe series

by Bernard Cromwell | Learn more and buy

Great story lines

Cathy (Torrington)

I am retired and have never been an avid reader, but many times I find an obscure or new author or an old classic. Going through Somerset Maughan phase at the moment. I would like to meet people to discuss books and the authors.

Cathy recommends:

The Painted Veil

by Somerset Maughan | Learn more and buy

A completely different era from the one we live in today. Although about a love affair it is also thrilling. Maughan has captured a woman's point of view brilliantly.

Jem (Axminster)

Just moved to the area, 27, looking to find some new friends who meet up once / twice a month! I like any kind of book really but love crime / thriller books (anything I can’t put down). I am from a theatre background and love a chat!

googoled (Plymouth)

A man of years with an original explanation that clarifies why we dream, and how to produce dreams that have a qualitative content in both colour and emotion
