SouthseaMama (Southsea)

Hi there, I am Helene in Southsea, looking to re-motivate myself to read more and to make new social connections. I am happy to meet up during the day if this appeals to anyone, as I am retired, and could also host if that helps.

DeeReads (Basingstoke)

Hiya! I’ve noticed there’s lots of people on this platform from Basingstoke that would like a reading club so thought we could come together and establish one!

Jenny (Lymington)

Just began my 30's, looking to meet like minded people who enjoy reading as much as I do. Enjoy a mix of lighthearted 'fluffy' books, fantasy/ romantasy, murder mystery type books. Hoping to find a local book club or find some people to start one!

Abi (Basingstoke)

In my mid 20's and trying to be more social and expand my reading to both fiction and non fiction, keen to meet new people and talk all things books. Currently diving to get into romantasy but i am a massive Agatha Christie fan (I love a whodunnit) and open to all genres and tropes.

This Is How You Lose the Time War

by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone | Learn more and buy

It is different to my usual reads but i love it especially considering for how short it is it packs a punch that i absolutely loved. The love story woven across time, place and worlds is created with so much care and charm that i love chasing and being chased with Blue and Red.

Jim (Winchester)

I'm 38 and love reading most things; I mainly enjoy history, but also general non-fiction, travel (Bill Bryson, Michael Palin) and also classic fiction like Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.

Ben (Basingstoke)

I'm 27, love to read fantasy, and sometimes non-fiction. Also love playing chess badly. Would love a friend to talk to about books or random stuff :)

Ben recommends:

A memory of light (wheel of time)

by Robert Jordan, Brandon sanderson | Learn more and buy

Generally just the entire wheel of time series is an absolute classic, the final book was amazing.

Val (25) (Basingstoke)

Hi, I’m Val! I’m a huge fan of all things fantasy and romance and I’d love to meet other people that I can discuss books with. I’d love to have a regular meet-up.

Fourth Wing

Amazing worldbuilding, plot, romance and some truly wonderful characters. Strong and intelligent FMC

MrsSharpiee (Lymington)

Looking to make friends who loves reading as much as I do

Lauren (Winchester)

I'm an avid reader who loves getting lost in the worlds of fantasy, romance, romantasy, and thrillers—but I'm always open to giving most books a try! I'm looking to connect with like-minded people who enjoy a relaxed book club setting, where we can share our thoughts over a cuppa or a glass of wine without the pressure of intense discussions. For me, reading is all about enjoyment, great stories, and good company!

Miranda (Romsey)

Hi I’m Miranda (26). I love reading fantasy fiction- from epic Game of Thrones to cosy Legends & Lattes. I loved Throne of Glass too. I’m looking to make some bookish friends who are like minded. Maybe would like to go to book events or coffee together. Message me!

Ash (Havant)

Just started reading again after a long break. Looking for like minded people to read with. I like psychological thrillers, horror and fantasy.

Aaron (Basingstoke)

Huge bibliophile, mainly reading a lot of fantasy and sci-fi at the moment, but my collection and taste spans from classics, magical realism, dystopian and everything in between. Just wanting to get a feel for whether there's any book groups near/in Basingstoke and what genres seem to be popular.

FranklyStein (Basingstoke)

A lifelong book lover with a passion for historical fiction, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. I enjoy immersive storytelling, rich world-building, and thought-provoking narratives that stay with you long after the last page. Some of my all-time favorites include The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Always looking to connect with like-minded readers who love deep discussions, new book recommendations, and the occasional debate over the best (or worst) adaptations. Let’s talk books!

FranklyStein recommends:

Pillars of the Earth

by Ken Follett | Learn more and buy

Pillars of the Earth is an epic blend of history, drama, and ambition, featuring rich medieval detail, complex characters, and a gripping story of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of a grand vision.

Natasha (Gosport)

Complete bookworm

Looking for a book club locally, ideally in Winchester, to get me back into reading again now that my daughters have left home and gone to uni so I have more time :-)

Emma (Emsworth)

I’ve just moved back to Chichester and I’d love to meet similar aged people (36yo) and chat over books.
