Chloe (Bournemouth)

I've been into ready for years and have always wanted to find people to share my love of books with, I also need to make some new friends 😅 so if I'm able to meet up for a coffee and chatting about a book would be amazing. I love horror, thrillers and romance books and well as a good old fantasy book.

I love to read and none of my few friends do at all, huge Lovecraft fan and honestly I could do with some help with literature and such. Pretty socially awkward just looking for some people to talk about books with and maybe make friends =]. Oh, I'm 21

Elenareads (Poole)

Would love to meet new people that I can share my reading experience with. In person meet-ups would be great to chat about our recent buddy read, it's a great way of meeting new people and socialising based on our interests. Always wanted to be part of a bookclub. I read almost any genre, mostly horror, sci-fi, fantasy, fiction but anything with a clever concept. 25 y old based in Poole ✨🧚

Butter

by Asako Yuzuki | Buy this book

It's 450 pages of slow slice of life, manipulation, feminism and misogyny, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in a vivid and , sometimes, unsettling way. It is very character driven and It's not focused around figuring out the killings, it's a slow paced character development sequence. The author questions some deep seated Japanese stereotypes, more around women and cooking.

Hello, I'm Matthew (25) I recently moved down to the area between Weymouth and Dorchester. I am currently studying Psychology Msc. Looking to enhance my hobby of reading by interacting and meeting others to talk and discuss books! An opportunity to meet new friends too.

Hi I’m Lyn, I’m hoping by joining a book club I can meet new friends.

David (Poole)

Hello, my name is David and I'm 23 years old. I am trying to get back into reading, and I'm hoping that joining a book club will give me the motivation to finish more books. I'm open to reading any genre, so I'd love to hear any recommendations. The most recent novel I read was 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which I loved. I also like short stories. One that I read and enjoyed recently was 'Sweat' by Zora Neale Hurston.

Jonty (Christchurch)

I spend so much time with my head in text books for my job and have lost the love of reading. I want to join a group of people who have the enthusiasm for a good book and a good conversation to revitalize this part of myself again.

Alicia (Dorchester)

Hey I’m Alicia (22 years old). I’d love to meet some friends who love reading as much as I do!! My favourites are romance, fantasy and thrillers, but I’m up to reading any recommendations too!!

JaneS (Weymouth)

Looking to make contact with other readers and writers.

Book Club (Dorchester)

Looking to Join or Start a Social Book Club in Dorchester Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a friendly, social book club in Dorchester. I enjoy reading a wide range of genres—fiction, non-fiction, thrillers, fantasy, contemporary, and more—but I tend to avoid historical fiction and intense horror. Ideally, I'd love to meet every 2 weeks, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon at a cosy coffee shop in town. I'm also very open to making new friends and chatting about books, life, and everything in between. If you're part of a group like this or would be interested in starting one together, please do get in touch!

Sian (Dorchester)

Hi, I'm Sian, I live 10 mins outside of Dorchester. I love fantasy, romantasy, sci fi and historical fiction!

Perry Ped (Bournemouth)

Just going through a bit of a rough time and I've come back to reading which has started to help centre me. I'd like to join a club that has lots of people <40.. Just would like people my age(ish) to share this with.

Rose (Dorchester)

Hello. I’m Rose, based just outside of Dorchester. I’m 35 and am looking to join or create a book club in the hopes to meet like minded people, and enjoy a chat about books! I like fiction and non-fiction. I love books with in depth character descriptions and character evolution, I like books that have artistic details and nature based books too. I’m not a big fan of romance, thriller or fantasy.
