Rosie (Bournemouth)
Hi, Im Rosie, i'm 25 years old, and I recently moved to Bournemouth! Im keen to meet new people and make friends. I love to read thrillers/romance/murder mystery etc. along with the occasional non fiction about psychiatry/crime. Im mostly however looking for people interested in reading more non fiction books. I get so enthralled in a book and always want to talk about what i'm reading so why not try a book club!

Hi! I’m Bomi. I’m currently studying marketing at Bournemouth University. I'm 26. As it’s been only 6 months since I moved to the U.K from South Korea, I’d like to make new friends here through a book group. I like reading romantic and detective/crime genres but I’m open to any other genres as well. I’d like to meet up at least once a month to talk about books and hang out.

Sign in to contacthelenac123 (Sherborne)
Hello! I've recently moved to Sherborne and looking to meet fellow book-lovers and hopefully join/form a group! I'm someone who goes through phases of reading and then phases of not reading! But finding a local book club is likely to motivate me to read more and watch screens less :) I have quite varied taste - both fiction and non fic and I like keeping things fresh genre-wise. When it comes to non-fic, I enjoy reading about feminism, social justice, psychology, science, and nature. When it comes to fiction - it's really hard for me to pinpoint exactly what I enjoy. But generally meaty novels with a depth to their character analyses, psychological thrillers, drama, and I enjoy trying to diversify my reading list with international authors. I want to read more classics as well - I do love Thomas Hardy! Monthly meetings - either evenings or at the weekend - would suit me best.

Sam V (Sherborne)
I love getting lost in a good book and the escapism of reading. I particularly enjoy psychological thrillers and crime but happy to give most things a go. I’ve lived in beautiful Dorset for 4 years - we moved just before lockdown so I’d love to meet more like-minded people locally. When I’m not working I enjoy walking my dog, yoga, dancing, gardening and drinking wine😋. I’m interested in joining a book club in Sherborne - hopefully to meet once a month.

Caitlin (Bournemouth)
Hi I am Caitlin - age 21. I am looking to make some new friends (female and of similar age) and thought this might be a good place to start as I enjoy reading. The friendship doesn’t have to be primarily based on reading, we could go for coffee, cocktails, walks etc. I am hoping to build some lifelong friendships here. The books are just there as a safety net I guess, so we have something to talk about. I am a hopeless romantic, so of course I love reading romance. I also love thrillers, and classics, but am open to reading pretty much anything. And finally, a little about myself, I love being a girl aha - new nails, bubble baths, flowers, sundresses, Sundays etc. I am also a university student studying biology. Hopefully someone will see this and want to be friends, and hopefully in 20yrs time we’ll be laughing at how cringey this was lmao.
