All listings in Hampshire

Sam (Bordon)

I’m a mum to tweens, wife to a Freemason so he is off out multiple times a week. I’m a late diagnosed Audhd which came alongside a C-PTSD diagnosis too. I’m estranged from my family by choice which also included 3 sisters who I do miss dearly. I’m lonely. Being late diagnosed I don’t have any friends as they all fizzled out over the years. I’m comfortable with being alone but now and again knowing that my boys will fly the nest at some stage, I do need some company from other humans at some point. I thought this could be a gentle foot in the door. I’m currently reading The Castle by Jon Ronson which is the first of his books I have read but will definitely be getting more of his. I’m open to most reads and love getting lost in books.

Fleet Book Group (Fleet)

A safe and cosy space for bookish nerds. We meet up at a pub in Fleet on a Tuesday once a month to discuss the last book, and two weeks later for a general book chat, all over a pint, a glass of wine or a good coffee of course! We love all fiction, but we have a particular passion for crime, science fiction and fantasy. Find us on Facebook or email FleetBookGroup@gmail.com

Lauren (Southampton)

I’m Lauren, in my 30s. I’m a mum of two and ex primary school teacher. I love reading and love having more time for it now that I’m not teaching and my kids are getting older. I don’t have a favourite genre - but I’m reading a lot of self-help/therapeutic literature at the moment. Would be great to join/start a book club…

Social Creature

by Tara Isabella Burton | Learn more and buy

The characters are deeply flawed but enthralling. The whole plot is tightly woven with great dialogue and although the author tells you the outcome in the opening sentence, every aspect of this novel is surprising and brilliantly executed.

Conchita (Havant)

Winchester Wine and Book Club (Winchester)

The Winchester Wine and Book Club is a book club based in Winchester, UK. We are a small(ish) informal and friendly group of people from different professions and of varying ages.

Keenreader (Bordon)

I'm female, aged 66, shortly (hopefully) moving into Whitehill. I'm a keen reader, almost exclusively fiction - crime, historical, "stories". I belong to a Book Club where I live now and would love to be a part of a book club after the move, which I hope will be either October or November, but haven't found one close by - yet. If there isn't one locally would anyone be interested in starting up a group with me?
