Jessica (Poole)
Hi, I'm Jess! I'm 27. Looking to join a book club (and meet some lovely people along the way!), as I love to read and want to be able to enjoy reading more in-between my shift work. I work as a Nurse, so reading is a great escape for me. My typical go to books are fantasy, dark romance and comedy. Though I often try any type of book! Feel free to reach out and send me a message!

Cathy (Bournemouth)
Hi , I’m Cathy 31yrs old. I love reading and collecting books . I love the smell of old books over new books. I enjoy reading but lack good motivation to continuously read . I enjoy visiting bookstores every chance I get and explore the book world. I love whodunnit mysteries , romance and sometimes history. I’m looking to join a club so I can enjoy discussing about the book with people of similar interest. Thanks

turning pages (Bournemouth)
i thought i would just make my own listing for a book club based in bournemouth! it would be nice to have members aged 20-25 but anyone can join! in terms of what we would read, i was thinking of doing polls for each book of the month with submissions from u guys (i mainly read romance, fantasy, litfic and historical fiction!) if anybody got the twilight reference for the book club name, then gold star for u :D
