Jenny (Southampton)

I love to read , and would like to meet up with people to socialise make and read books. My nearest area is Shirley/Lordshill

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.

Lauren (Basingstoke)

I’m 23 and looking to join a book club. I’m really into romantasy and dark fantasy and I’d love to meet other people who enjoy the same kinds of books 📚✨

Clare (Aldershot)

Looking for a book group that is more social and less like school!

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.

Lara_avidreader (Liphook)

All genres and I'm looking to join a book club in Liphook, Bordon or surrounding areas.

Alskib (Southampton)

Recently got into reading again- and am sad I ever stopped! Once I pick up a book I am lost in my own book bubble and little movie going on in my head. Recently been reading books by Karin slaughter ❤️ would love to join a book club and meet other people with similar interests and find out about authors and books I don’t know about!

Ellie (Winchester)

Looking for book clubs in Winchester. Nearly and empty nester

Aimee (Alton)

I’m a big romance/fantasy book lover. I would love to find a book club or people to go grab a coffee with! I live in Alton, I’m mid 20’s and always down to grab Starbucks! :)

Nic (Fareham)

Hi, I’m Nicola—bookish and bold, With a TBR pile that’s out of control. I want to join book clubs to feel refined… Then loudly judge characters I secretly like. I love a plot twist, a scandal, a curse, And I’ll always pretend I’ve read the whole verse. (But if I didn’t quite finish, I’ll nod and agree, While sipping my tea suspiciously…) From moody memoirs to sassy romance, If the book has drama—I’ll give it a chance. So if you need laughs, hot takes, or debate, I’m your reader—just try not to be late (I’m always 10 mins behind).

Paul (Aldershot)

To expand my vocabulary

Lydia (Fareham)

Nikki (Southampton)

I live in Southampton and would love to join a book club locally. I read a range of genres and now I have more time, I want to expand it further

VGB (Fleet)

My name is Vernon Barnes. Why a book group? To discuss books with people with similar outlooks. I like most fiction, especially British 19th century, but joining a book club will help broaden my range of 20th c. reading.

Agata (Southampton)

Deborah (Eastleigh)

Sean (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.
