Joel (Torquay)

Hello, I'm 23 and have gradually been reading more over the last couple of years. I am into fantasy especially but I read classics and books of other genres if they are recommended :) I'm sure other people roughly in my age range would also be reading more after realising that going on the internet is not that fun anymore. I want to be a part of a book club that reads the sort of books that are recommended to people like me online! (Steinbeck, McMurtry, Dostoevsky, Stephen King, Brandon Sanderson, M.L. Wang, that kind of stuff)

Singingbookreader (Honiton)

Hi Everyone, I’ve recently moved to the area and am looking to join a book club in or around Honiton with ladies of a similar vintage (in my 50s!). My ideal group reads a genuine mix of genres—from contemporary fiction and good thrillers to memoirs and literary picks, where the chat flows just as easily as the discussion about the book, ideally over a cuppa or a glass of wine. Looking for lovely people who love life, enjoy good company, and don't take things too seriously. If your group has a space, or if anyone fancying starting a fresh monthly get-together would like to team up, please drop a comment or send me a message!

The Turn of Midnight & The Last Hours

by Minette Walters | Learn more and buy

A really gripping page turner; highly plausible - it takes you to a past time; great characters; nice ending… I hope it gets made into a TV series!

Stephen (Exmouth)

Do you instantly wonder “How?” when you talk to people who never read books? I’d give up all technology over reading and can’t imagine a world without being able to immerse myself in the escapism, discovery and pleasure of visiting other minds and worlds found in the written word. I have an eclectic taste in my fictional reading material and would really enjoy sharing my literary addiction with like minded, easy going fellow readers. I look forward to hearing from you and indulge in reading experiences with you all.

Stephen recommends:

“Life After Life”

by Kate Atkinson | Learn more and buy

A “Sliding Doors” meets alternative time-lines meets time jumping to rectify bad choices in life set during the major events of the 20th Century. An amazing protagonist, plot turns and incredible twists woven magically throughout with great artistry by the author. Engrossing, thought-provoking and incredibly moving.

Deirdre Dee (Exeter)

Retired actor, company director and former town councillor. Now writing full-time.

Hitler Stalin Mum and Dad

It's a true story of miraculous survival against all odds.

LittleO (Exeter)

I’ve always been a fan of epic fantasy novels—right now, I’m finishing The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, which has been an incredible adventure. That said, I’m keen to diversify the genres I read and would love to hear everyone’s recommendations and opinions on different books. I’m really looking forward to exploring new stories and having some great discussions!
