Hi I would like to find some more readers to discuss all things book related. It would be great to choose a book to read each month and then hear other peoples' opinions after its been read. Looking forward to hearing off like minded people. Any age welcome :)

Betsy (Poole)

I’m 22 and live in Poole. My absolute favourite book genres are fantasy and romance but I also love classics and mysteries. I also love special edition books and spend way too much in order to have a pretty bookshelf. I would love some book friends to meet and swap recommendations with!

Dave G (Poole)

I used to be a keen reader but in recent years I have lapsed and spend time scrolling on my IPad. I would love to read more frequently and feel being part of a book club would help to ensure I read at least a book a month!

Guilherme Levy Costa Cruz (Bournemouth)

I love literary fiction, philosophy, theology but also love a good laugh about silly stupid things and love to write though I hardly do it as often as I want to. I know, such is the stereotype.

Guilherme Levy Costa Cruz recommends:

Crime and Punishment

by Fyodor Dostoevsky | Buy this book

It's a book about the universal experience of guilt, deeply psychological, and so transcendent.

Tim here. I read quite a bit but often feel I don’t get the most out of the books I read, so am looking to join a group to share ideas and to have a bit of a social. With children left or about to leave home I have more time on my hands! I live in Poole.

Interesting and easy to read for a non fiction reader

Nataya (Weymouth)

I love Sarah J Maas and the romantasy genre in general. I'd love to expand my reading list to normal romance books as well as action, mystery and comedy. With a book club I'm looking to find like minded people who share a passion for reading.

An FF enemies to lovers with great worldbuilding and characters!

Saydah (Christchurch)

I like fantacy, rom coms and many other genres

Lori (Swanage)

Wide range of book interest. As long as it intrigues me in the first five minutes I’m hooked!

Demi (Poole)

Hi, I'm Demi, I'm 31 and always loved reading but haven't had as much time to indulge. I like a lot of different genres but tend to read more fantasy, romantasy, and the occasional spicy romance novels. I only have a small group of friends that don't really read as much or don't read the same books I do. I'm hoping to find some like minded people to chat with about books, perhaps even expand my social circle a little as well!

Demi recommends:

The Book Thief

by Markus Zusak | Buy this book

Ever since I read this it has stuck with me. I love the unique spin on the narrator and the story following a little girl displaced to a little town in Germany during the world war. This is one of the few books that made me cry, it was so well written. I actually lost my first paperback and recently spotted it in store again and had to rebuy it for my bookshelf.
