Hello. I live in Galmpton and am looking for a book club that reads fiction, particularly but not exclusively by women. I like a good detective novel, and also experimental work.

Nathanael (Ashburton)

Im 22 and want to make some friends outside the group i have had for a decade. Primarily interested in character focused sci-fi, fantasy and historical fiction. But try to get in some classics every now and again. I will read literally anything if the writing is good. Looking to meet up in person regularly. Other interests include: history, TTRPGs, old cRPGs, walking in forests, rpg game design, art, writing and carpentry.

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!

Olivia (Exeter)

I'm a Master's student studying Creative Writing. I'm 22 and have joined the University's Literature Society but I'd love to meet other people in the area too for book groups and expand my network and circle a bit :)

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.
