Hello, Im Nashita 24 years old. I have just gotten back to my love for books and reading for the first time since childhood.

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
