Amy (Kingsbridge)

Hi! I’m moving down to Kingsbridge at the beginning of June and am looking to join a book group as a way of meeting people in the local community.

Paul (Exeter)

I’ve thought about joining a book club for a while now, so thought I’d take a look to see if there’s anything in the area. My least favourite is SiFi/fantasy.

Billy0793 (Exeter)

Someone who enjoys reading and thought it might be fun to join a group

Donna (Paignton)

I'm looking to read different books and socialise more

Disneybeth (Barnstaple)

I'm really enjoy reading at the moment and would love some recommendations

Julie (Barnstaple)

I am working with a lady who would love to join a book club, preferably in the South Molton area. Do you have any details I could pass on to her please?

Alison (Plymouth)

Happy to read anything really, very open to giving new genres a try.

Alison recommends:

Behind the Scenes at the Museum

by Kate Atkinson | Buy this book

The humour and pathos, very relatable and descriptive

We Need to Talk About Kevin

by Lionel Shriver | Buy this book

Shocking, compulsive and human

Booker Plym (Plymouth)

A monthly (? as agreed) meet to read ambitious and adventurous books new and old - collectively selected from award winners like the Man Booker list. Casual meet on the Waterfont for a drink and a chat. (No schlock/fantasy/YA/Romance)

AvidPlym (Plymouth)

Would be interested in Booker prizewinner type books - reading discussion say monthly in a cosy pub such as the waterfront on the Hoe. I like Ishiguro best but opening a book should be like opening a door into another world - open to pretty much all genres (except schlocky YA/Romance/fantasy)

AvidPlym recommends:

The Buried Giant

by Kazuo Ishiguro | Buy this book

It looks like an ancient myth of Britain but it's ultimately the tale of two people journeying through life together, very poignant,

Jessica (Paignton)

Read all sorts of genres. Love a good book that draws you in.

Booklover82 (Teignmouth)

Looking for book club in the local area. Chance to catch up on so good books and meet new people.

Deanne (Paignton)

Love reading. Have a stack by my bed, audio CD! in car and generally one in my bag, just in case i have time when i really have nothing to do! Not very often. I love trying out new books, to broaden my horizons. I'm looking for a Book group in Paignton - in person, face to face.. Anyone out there??

Katie (Crediton)

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 :)

lequantran (Exeter)

I want to read more consistently, discover unfamiliar books, and broaden my perspective. Joining a book group will keep me motivated and allow me to engage in thoughtful discussions with fellow readers.

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 | Buy this book

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.

Shelley (Okehampton)

Moved back to area last year. I love reading and want to connect with others who love a good book and want to share their thoughts and ideas.

Aileen (Barnstaple)

Hello. I would love to find a book club in Barnstaple, or nearby. I love reading and would like to share that pleasure by attending a book club. Is there an established one that has room for one more? Kind regards, Aileen

BookLove74 (Seaton)

I'm a male resident of Seaton, Devon. I love most genres of book, especially sci-fi, fantasy, mystery or thriller. I'd like to find a good group for sharing & discussing great books, their themes and ideas.

BookLove74 recommends:

The Shadow Of The Wind

by Carlos Ruiz Zafon | Buy this book

A story about the importance and magic of stories.

Helen (Crediton)

I read anything. Looking for book recommendations and discussions over a tea or coffee

Carol (Paignton)

I am 61 and would love to join a book club to meet with other like minded people and share my love of reading. I used to read factual books but have discovered a liking of fiction in particular crime novels in my retirement
