Sign in to contactStu (Basingstoke)
So, there seems to be a proliferation of people looking to join clubs (myself included) near to me, with a distinct lack of options. With this in mind Iām considering (underlined, in bold AND italics) starting one. Iāll list my preferences below and if anyone is genuinely interested please feel free to contact me via this site. Once I gauge interest Iāll consider (underlined, in bold AND italics) whether or not to bite the bullet and actually set one up. Feel free to include your preferences in any replies. My preferences: Once a month. In person. In a public place. Contemporary fiction (although open to ALL suggestions on any subjects). Round Robin of book selection. Book selector chairs the discussion at meeting. Errrrā¦ canāt think of anything else at present. So please feel free to contact me via this site. My first reply will include my email address. Lastly, I can assure you all that Iām not a lunatic (and yes, I know thatās what a lunatic would say but whatās a guy supposed to do??).

Hayley (Brockenhurst)
Recently moved to the New Milton area and would love to join a Book Club to meet like minded people who also love reading and to share recommendations. I enjoy a wide range of genres (depending on my mood and time of year - light hearted fiction when on holiday!) but particularly psychological thrillers, autobiography, crime and stories involving family relationships.
Sign in to contactMatthew (Romsey)
I'm a bit of a haphazard academic and spend most of my time between working outdoors on trees! Really looking to expand my reading list and meet some like minded people. Reading tastes range from Irvine Welsh to Tom Sharpe and everything in between - I quite like the macabre and dark humour.
