Micks (Bournemouth)

Recently rediscovered my love for reading through self-development books and inspiring biographies that have genuinely changed how I see the world. New to Bournemouth, in my late 20s, and hoping to find people/clubs who also get excited about non-fiction books!

Rosie (Bournemouth)

Hello! My name is Rosie and I’m in a book group of 4 girls, we are all in our mid-late 20s and we read a wide range of fictional genres. Some of the books we have read include: The Book Thief, The First Person you Meet in Heaven, Annabel, The Secrets of Blythswood Square, Icebreaker, The Keeper of Stories and The Help. We would love to add a couple more to our group now that we are down to 4, as 3 of our members have sadly had to leave. Please feel free to drop me a message, we are looking for males or females in their 20s or early 30s.

I absolutely love reading and would love to meet others who do as well. I’m definitely a fantasy and sci fi reader but I am looking to explore romance and historical fiction. I’m currently in Bournemouth and would love to meet for a coffee to chat and get to know more about your fav books! I’m a guy, mid thirties and would like to meet people of a similar age ;) Summer is almost here and the gardens are in bloom! Do get in touch, I believe Waterstones in Bmth has a hidden coffee shop.

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
