I'd really like to meet new people in Fareham/Gosport area to discuss books and make friends. It's really hard in your 30's. Don't have social media so don't know how to find any book clubs? An internet search brought me here! I like a variety of genres: rom com, sci fi, fantasy, thriller, etc. Always have two on the go: audiobook and something on kindle. Love going to a bookshop and then for a coffee!
