Zal (Teignmouth)

College student who is wanting to get back into reading… I used to read practically everyday but I’m a bit out of practice and could use someone to keep me a little more accountable haha. I’m interested in pretty much anything to a certain degree.

Hi! I’m looking to join a book club—I’ve really got into reading over the past year and would love to share my thoughts and hear what others are reading. I enjoy reading literary and contemporary fiction as well as thrillers. It’ll be nice to find people to arrange a book club!

Not entirely sure what to write but i love reading, im open to new books and genres, love thrillers and murder mystery books, and some fantasy fiction things. Just happy to get some recommendations.

Gaby (Newton Abbot)

My 'To Be Read' pile is getting lonely, and I need some friends to help me tackle it! I'm here to meet new people and read things I wouldn't normally choose for myself. Promise to bring good energy (and maybe snacks) to the discussion

Retired educationist - interested in scienc fiction, adventure, mystery Examples being from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Phillip K Dick -- like to discuss books and share ideas

Wiseguy (Newton Abbot)

Hello, my names James and I'm returning to the joys of reading after a digital detox. In the past I was into fiction primarily but now I am most interested in history and philosophy books and would love to meet other readers that share my interests and would join me interesting discussions. I would also like to improve my skills as a writer.

Woldsgreen (Plymouth)

Hi, having recently retired I find myself reading significantly more. Mostly journals and digital news but given the volatile state of the nation over these last 10 years I started to dust down books I read and studied in the 70’s, 80’s. From religious/spiritual concepts of archetypes and Godheads through the continuum to Existentialism and Nihilism. Plus books about individual journeys, both fiction and non fiction, Renaissance and Reformation art and political movements and …. In a nutshell - the human condition. Looking to join a club that is friendly, curious and enjoys intelligent sharing of thoughts and insights. One that explores, not imposes, the warnings and messages in an Orwellian novel. Hope that makes sense.

Sons and Lovers

by DH Lawrence | Buy this book

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.

Recent books I've loved include The Secret History, Hazelthorn by C.G.Drews, Medea, How to Survive a Horror Movie, and Red Rising.

Book Club Devon/Somerset (Axminster)

A group of gals that meet once a month for drinks, food and a chat about the book we all read. Sometimes day trips or vacations book themed. Anything romantasy!

Nictoria (Exeter)

My genres tend to change every so often but as of now, I am very interested in mysteries, I especially like when enemies or rivals have to work together because one insists on getting involved. Even so, I like fantasy, especially the cosy type, and horror, mostly ghost stories. Also wlw books, I love those but never find many.
