Erin (Exeter)

I’m looking to start a book club in Exeter. I’ve recently changed jobs and now have the time to enjoy my hobbies more. I truly read across all genres but particularly enjoy reading classics, historical fiction and fantasy. Fully flexible on no. of meet ups, but was thinking every other week

Hooked on Fantasy- Lydia 😊 (Axminster)

My name is Lydia and I'm 25 from Axminster 😊 I would love to build a group of women who like all things fantasy and spicy! If you like Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns of Roses, anything Colleen Hoover or something dark like Haunting Adeline, this is the place for you! A chance to chat, eat, and drink together discussing all things fantasy! Based in Axminster, Devon.

The Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver | Learn more and buy

This is so evocative of the Congo, a really readable and yet challenging and thought-provoking book.

Vincent (Barnstaple)

I'm a 27 year old who likes to get invested in a good story. My favourite genre right now is detective fiction, though I would like to explore other genres. I also would like to meet people with who I can gain recommendations from and vice versa.

Grace (Plymouth)

27 year old avid reader, would really like to find a group of like minded individuals to discover new books and discussions. Enjoy primarily thriller, crime & horror but would love to expand my selections

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!

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!

Mary (Exmouth)

Google tells me it thinks I'm a bot. Huh. I have more life in my little finger nail than the bot. I am retired with mobility issues, read avidly and would like to be part of a reading group.

SakuraBoi (Exeter)

I want to join a book club in Exeter or online via Teams / Zoom. 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. I don't have many "friends" and am hoping to meet or chat with people who like similar things to me. I also like gaming and walking / visiting NT properties. I live at home with husband and three grown up children!

Pride and prejudice

by Jane Austin | Learn more and buy

One of the funniest, wittiest books Ive read. Always happy to re-read and makes me laugh out loud.

Pinky (Ashburton)

Would love to meet people locally who adore books and reading. I gravitate to non-fiction but also want to get out of my comfort zone! I'd also love to extend my social circle, which has reduced since working mainly from home.

Pinky recommends:

Finding Sanctuary: Monastic Steps for Everyday Life

by Abbot Christopher Jamison | Learn more and buy

I bought this book after stumbling upon a clip of a TV documentary that was shown a few years ago. The author was in charge of the Catholic monastery that had allowed a small group of people to experience life there and he seemed so calm, reassuring and wise. I wasn't at all sure what to expect with this book but it was such a gentle and also practical little read. Not at all what people might expect! I ended up buying his other books, which were also great. You absolutely don't need to be religious in the conventional sense to benefit from it. It's more about finding sanctuary in this tricky modern world. I'm not at all a fan of 'self help' books, and I wouldn't class this as one of those.
