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!

Daryna (Axminster)

I live in Axminster. I’m 31 and I love reading. I’m slowly building up my dream library. I love thrillers, novels and a bit of fantasy. I’d love to meet new people. We could read together and go for a coffee to discuss a book or two. I also love photography, and I’d be happy to do a free creative photoshoot for you if you have any ideas.

Bookshare (Brixham)

A place where people with different stories and outlooks can share interests and ideas. Current focus on literary fiction.

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.

Hi there! I like a mixture of reading genres including a plethora of non-fiction genres such as philosophy, politics, art, history, religion and the like. Fiction genres include sci-fi, fantasy, literary and the occasional historical read.

Humankind

by Rutger Bregman | Learn more and buy

The book is so optimistic and offers hope in a world of despair

Jules (Okehampton)

I enjoy historical fiction and my favourite authors tend to be female authors who write about strong female characters and good storylines. I enjoy Lucinda Riley, Judith Lennox, Alexander Mcall Smith etc.

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.

SakuraBoi (Exeter)

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.

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.

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.
