Kat (Weymouth)

I am a teacher and love to read, but have been so busy for a while that I haven't really had chance. I am changing my role at work soon to get a bit of time back and would love to join a book group to jump back into reading, meet some new people and hopefully enjoy a glass of wine or two with like minded people.

Jacob (Bournemouth)

I'm 21, I've always loved books since I was a child. Although, recently I haven't been reading very often I feel if the right book came along I would get back into reading. What better incentive than someone's recommendation.

Alison (Wimborne)

Visited Wimborne library and heard about bookchat. They gave me the next book and look forward to joining the group.

Atena (Poole)

Hi I am Giusy and English is not my first language. I like enjoying my time with a book. I used to read a lot of book books in my language but to improve English I have decided to start reading in English and joining to book club. Thank you

Natasha (Weymouth)

30y/o, just moved to Weymouth. Looking for a fun and relaxed book group, like to read a bit of everything, default to sci fi / speculative fiction but enjoy mixing it up with other genres and recommendations :)

Michael (Bournemouth)

I consume a lot of audio books. I complete one book a month...and have about 10 books on the go at any time.... I read a total mixture.... Non fiction and fiction. As varied as Impossible Creatures to Factfulness. I feel like a may have a bookworm in me that is trying to get out... So would like to meet with simarly minded people. Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron All Ken Follet books Never where by Neil Gaiman Before the Coffee Gets Cold Notes on Grief The Maidens Too name a few I've enjoyed.
