Kieren (Bournemouth)

I like reading, especially the classics, but also modern stuff, I guess my taste is pretty all over the show. I'd like to join a book club to meet some people locally and talk about something a bit more deeply.

Loz (Bournemouth)

I’m getting on a bit these days but have recently rediscovered my love for reading. I have a fairly eclectic taste and as I enter a new chapter of live, pardon the pun, I’m looking for a friendly book club local to Bournemouth to join and make my new found passion my weekly hobby.

Andrew (Blandford Forum)

Hi, I enjoy most genres but stared to read a lot of fantasy from the start of the COVID lockdowns as I wanted to explore something different to our everyday experience. I read a lot of contemporary fiction from established and new authors. I usually have a classic book on the go and something light and funny. I read poetry most days. Plus I read a lot of books related to the broader area of Psychology which is my area of work. I have a good sense of humour, like a good chat , keeping fit and meditate regularly. I’ve always wanted to be in a book club but have either never had the time or my local one might focus on only one or two genres. I’m local to Blandford and as I’m self-employed I have wide availability. It would be good to meet other people who share a similar interest in books and literature and who are open to new reading experiences.
