mwalker564 (Gosport)

Looking to join a book club on a Friday evening! Will read absolutely anything but romance is a favourite!

ShelleyMarie (Gosport)

Hi I’m a teacher who works from home. I love a loads of different books and genres. I used to go to a few different clubs but they weren’t in the Gosport area so it would be great to meet some people who love reading locally. I love YA fiction, crime, drama, classic, horror so a bit of everything.

Shirley (Southampton)

I'd like to meet up with other readers reasonably locally. My passion is social justice so I appreciate any novel tackling these issues e.g. The Women by Kristin Hannah. But also love reading crime and psychological thrillers. More commercial than literary. Favourite authors Lianne Moriarty, Clare Macintosh, Robert Galbraith Strike series, Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series. I'm also a writer and run a writing group in Dibden Purlieu.

Of War and Ruin

I love how even though this is the 3rd book in a huge series, it still manages to stay fresh while retain the amazing character relations and epic story

Jemma (Havant)

I'd love to join a local/ or online book club to meet new people and make friends. I want to explore different genres and share my excitement about the books I love with others.

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).

Grace (Hayling Island)

I have recently rediscovered my love for reading. I am mainly into the romance or non-fiction genres at the moment (very different, I know!), but I am trying to broaden my horizons. I have just read Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' and I feel my life has been changed. For better or worse, I do not yet know...!

Grace recommends:

Normal People

by Sally Rooney | Buy this book

The emotions are portrayed, I think, so significantly and intricately. The dialogue, mixed with the prose, is a refreshing read.

French 39 (Southampton)

I am a single mum of 4 teens, but as much as I love my children I want to find me again, find friends that I connect with and have some fun, I love to read so I thought this would be a great place to start 😊
