All listings in Devon

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.

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

Christine (Exeter)

I like to be out & about often with my small dog Bertie who is very friendly & sociable, do crafts walk & have joined a local excercise group.

Alice (Tiverton)

Big book lover

Linds (Honiton)

I love books! Thrillers, romance and SciFi in particular. Looking to move to Tavistock soon and would like to make some new friends in preparation for this. I frequently caravan in the area so plenty of opportunities to meet up before I move!

Jem (Axminster)

Just moved to the area, 27, looking to find some new friends who meet up once / twice a month! I like any kind of book really but love crime / thriller books (anything I can’t put down). I am from a theatre background and love a chat!

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

NickyC (Torquay)

I am retired and recently lost my husband so am in quite a lonely place at the moment. I love reading so think that joining a book club would be good for me to meet new people and discuss books we have all read

River God

by Wilbur Smith | Learn more and buy

I love Wilbur Smith’s series set in Africa and can picture myself there having been to the locations where some of them are set.

Julie (Exmouth)

I'll read anything and try to find a reason to like it as long as it's well written.

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

?? (Bideford)

The tennet

So good twist and turns

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)
