It is what we let it be

Laugh at my attempts to educate other within special needs teaching-a world that demanded my brand of survival skills, a shift in mindset, and a strong sense of humour.

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)

Roxana (Cullompton)

I’ve got pretty eclectic tastes but find myself being lazy and reading mystery and crime probably too much. I’d like to keep up with new, more stretching titles and to meet like minded people

Anna (Exeter)

I'm 18, about to study classics and literature at University, and looking to meet people for a book club/ book circle to discuss literature a few times a month. I'm really into sci fi, murder mystery, ya horror, dark academia, classics, and pretty much any book that can make me cry. Recent books I've loved include The Secret History, Hazelthorn by C.G.Drews, Medea, How to Survive a Horror Movie, and Red Rising.

Buzz (Umberleigh)

Hello! I have recently moved with my family to High Bickington and I am looking for new things to do and enjoy. I am 79 years old and I love reading romantic novels! I would very much enjoy meeting new people and visiting new cafes.

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.

Helen (Plymouth)

Hoping to join or start a monthly meet in person bookclub. Plympton or Plymouth. I enjoy any quality read, some favourite authors are Margaret Attwood, William Boyd, Barbara Kingsolver, Lionel Shriver, Anne Tyler, Nick Harkaway, Michel Faber. Open to new suggestions (but not fantasy, romance or crime).

Helen recommends:

Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver | Learn more and buy

Same storyline told by the different voices of each sister, cleverly intertwined.

Wendy (Holsworthy)

Looking to join a book club. I did join one but wasn’t keen on the book choices at all unfortunately. I live between Bude and Holsworthy and near to Launceston too.

Deborah (Torquay)

I love reading and would like to meet other likeminded people

I am rediscovering the thrill of fiction works and loving the freedom to indulge my reading ardor.

Elaine & Brian (Okehampton)

Recently moved back to the area - long term book group members in our previous village ( Highlands Scotland ) - would love to get involved

I like reading a range of genres, but my guilty pleasures are crime and thrillers. I looking to meet some new people and explore some new titles too / pushing my reading out of its comfort zone :)

Ashley (Honiton)

I love reading anything that takes me out of the real world! I'm looking to meet people who like reading a variety of books to help me expand my normal reading genre

Sarah (Honiton)

I like reading what I like reading! If I pick something up and it is interesting, I'll read it. No horror, though. Can't be doing with that. I non-fiction and classic fiction, I suppose.

Aileen (Barnstaple)

Hello. I am a retired support officer for older people. I am looking for a book club in Barnstaple because I love reading and would like have a more varied mix of literature in my life. It would be interesting to hear people's reactions to different books snd to be able to put forward my thoughts too.
