Peter (Ed) Johnson (Petersfield)

I have been busy all my life and dont want to stop, so I have written one (and a half) books, the first is published under the name of Ed Johnson and is Why am I here - Jane's story and is available at bookshops and Amazon

Liya (Havant)

The main genres I read are crime/thrillers and YA books but I have also recently been reading a lot of fantasy.

Suj (Aldershot)

I used to be a voracious reader but I've fallen out of the habit since I started working after university. I'm looking for some extrinsic motivation to explore some new reads! I've only really read the classics but I'm very open minded to read some different genres :).

Seriously Grandma! (Lyndhurst)

Hello! I’m recently retired and, having sorted through most of the things that have needed sorting for years, I’m now looking for new stimuli. I read every day and get restless on the rare occasions when I don’t have a book on the go. I love my home - especially the kitchen - my garden, my husband and our children and grandchildren. But they are scattered over the globe now and I miss them a bit, though we chat via the computer screen. I am in the New Forest area and would love to hear from anyone who likes to lose themselves in a stonking novel!

Where the Crawdads Sing

by Delia Owens | Buy this book

I had no interest whatsoever in the hot, swampy, humid Deep South of America before I read this book, but it consumed me from the first page. Unfortunately, the film of the book was not worth seeing, apparently, so I’m glad that I didn’t.

Roxy (Southampton)

I am in my early 30s and enjoy reading fantasy, fiction and romance mostly. Looking like-minded for people who enjoy discussing books over a beer or glass of wine!

L.A.T.D-K (Gosport)

Hello, I am L.A.T.D-K, I am a new author. I have been looking for a book club for a while. I love the written word. I read anything as long as it interest me. As an avid reader and usually consume a book pretty quick. I am always looking for a next good read and will also love to share my book and possible future projects with readers like myself.

Rebecca

by Daphne Du Maurier | Buy this book

its totally creepy…

Barbara (Aldershot)

I've always loved reading and usually have several books on the go! I read a range of genres although am currently partial to crime/thrillers and dystopian stories. Have a few go-to authors where I'll read anything they publish but am always finding more to add to the list! I don't tend to reread books and will DNF if I'm not enjoying something - life's too short and there are still too many books I want to read! I prefer physical books as I get too distracted if I read on a screen. In my past life I was a school librarian & I've belonged to various book groups over the years but I'm now missing the lovely book chat!

Barbara recommends:

In The Blink Of An Eye

by Jo Callaghan | Buy this book

This book has received a lot of hype of social media (which often puts me off) but decided to give it a try when I saw it in my local public library. Glad I did as I stormed through it! The main character, Kat, is a police officer who is given an AI-powered detective (Lock) to work with as part of a cold case project to prove that AI can improve police procedures and outcomes. Sounds strange but the relationship works! There's lots of back stories too that add interest. It's a detective crime genre with a touch of sci-fi! Book 2 is out now (and I've already read it) - can't wait for book 3!

Anita (Romsey)

I would like to join a book group to read more and chat with others.

Eleanor (Havant)

In my 30s looking for like minded readers. Recently discovered fantasy, YA and romance which has reignited my love of reading. I enjoy action adventure and thrillers as well. Opening to giving new genres a go!

I like thrillers, romance, fantasy and I’m rereading all the YA from 2010s

Laura (Southampton)

I've recently gotten back into reading and it would be nice to find like minded individuals to discuss books with.

Reader (Farnborough)

Avid reader, likes both fiction and non fiction.

NikitaG1809 (Fleet)

I am constantly looking for new book recommendations, and none of my existing friends share that passion. I love reading all books (except non-fiction), but have a particular penchant for Mystery and Psychological Thrillers. An added bonus would be making friends along the way
