Trevor (Farnborough)
Looking to get back into reading, happy to read most genres. Also looking for local book clubs to meet in person.
Sign in to contactNick (Southampton)
I really enjoy reading the classics, especially the great Russian authors. It would be interesting to discuss the big questions these books pose. Another persons perspective would add further layers to the work. I am semi-retired and have now got the time to deep dive into great works of literature. I live in Southampton.

Ells (Lymington)
I am looking to make some friends with similar interests. I am in my 20s and I love reading, specifically fantasy and romance.
Sign in to contactLaëtitia (Basingstoke)
I love mythology, fantasy, sci-fi. The more whimsical a world you can get lost in the more drawn in I am to explore it. Growing up I was obsessed with Percy Jackson and the Immortal instruments series. Looking for a small group with similar interests and to rekindle my love of reading.

Laetitia (Basingstoke)
I'm turning 27 years old soon. I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents. And I'm frightened. So don't judge me, Lizzie. Don't you dare judge me. :( Used to love books growing up but lately it's been hard to get into anything.

Sign in to contactLydia (Southampton)
Hi! I am 27 & have just moved to the Southampton area and am looking for like-minded people who love a good book! I love fiction and will read almost any subgenre - fantasy, historical, sci-fi you name it! Ultimately I just love a book that will move me - the best books make me laugh, cry & all the emotions in between. Would love to meet new friends who also share my passion for reading.

Sign in to contactSam (Bordon)
I’m a mum to tweens, wife to a Freemason so he is off out multiple times a week. I’m a late diagnosed Audhd which came alongside a C-PTSD diagnosis too. I’m estranged from my family by choice which also included 3 sisters who I do miss dearly. I’m lonely. Being late diagnosed I don’t have any friends as they all fizzled out over the years. I’m comfortable with being alone but now and again knowing that my boys will fly the nest at some stage, I do need some company from other humans at some point. I thought this could be a gentle foot in the door. I’m currently reading The Castle by Jon Ronson which is the first of his books I have read but will definitely be getting more of his. I’m open to most reads and love getting lost in books.

Sign in to contactTendy (Hook)
A Little About Me I’m looking to rekindle my passion for reading and reconnect with the joy I used to find in getting lost in a good book. I’d love to meet other readers who enjoy sharing books, exchanging thoughts and ideas, and having meaningful conversations over a lovely cup of tea. I particularly enjoy romance, murder mysteries, crime, and historical or educational books. I’m open to discovering new authors and genres too, and I’m hoping to find a friendly, relaxed group where we can read together, have a good chat, and simply enjoy the experience of being book lovers. I’m really looking forward to discovering new stories, meeting fellow readers, and hopefully reigniting my love for reading along the way. 📚☕❤️

Hi I'm Gina, I'm 37 years old and I love to read true story books, I love books about historical tragedy n things similar, ie. Titanic stories or pearl harbour or ww2. (I know it's weird), and I'd love to meet new friends and meet up in coffee shops to possibly go over.

Becca (Winchester)
I’m 29, a sahm with a toddler and looking to meet new people. Got back into reading after a long hiatus, reading the romantasy classics at the moment, I would love to join a local book club and am looking for my fellow wine mums :)
Sign in to contactAli (Andover)
I moved to Andover a few years ago and would really like to make some friends with similar interests. I’m 26. I am an avid reader - whether it’s physical or auditory. I love books that make you think, analyse, and delve deeper. I’m not strict on a genre - I love the classics, dystopian, fantasy, science fiction, political fiction, gothic literature. I’m looking to join a book club to discuss books, have bubbles, drink wine, and most importantly make friends and join a community!
Sign in to contactSean (Southampton)
The idea: a small, easygoing group meeting once a month in a cosy café around Southampton (open to New Forest spots too, depending who's keen) to talk about the kind of books that actually earn their length — Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, John Williams' Stoner, Jack London's Martin Eden. Big questions, flawed characters, sentences worth re-reading. Doesn't have to stay strictly Russian-and-American — anything in that same vein is fair game. No pressure if you haven't finished the book. No one-upmanship. Just good coffee, better conversation, and people who actually want to talk about what they're reading rather than just being seen to read it. If that sounds like your kind of Saturday morning (or Tuesday evening — happy to find what works for the group), get in touch. Even just tell me the last book that properly wrecked you — that's usually the best icebreaker.

Im 33 from Basingstoke. I love romantasy and dark romance - not massively social but would like to meet people with the same reading interest. Even an online book club.
