Cosy Crime Book Club (Southampton)

Hello! I have been looking for a book club in Southampton for cosy crime, thriller, and mystery books. I haven’t found one yet so I decided to make one! If you’re interested, please email me. I’ve not made a group yet so we can make one on either Facebook for Discord depending on how everyone’s feeling. We can meet at a local cafe for monthly discussions and share our thoughts about a book! So if Agatha Christie, Richard Osman, or Ann Cleeves interest you, join our club! You can email me at cosycrimesouthampton@gmail.com

This Is How You Lose the Time War

by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone | Buy this book

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 (Winchester)

I'm an avid reader who loves getting lost in the worlds of fantasy, romance, romantasy, and thrillers—but I'm always open to giving most books a try! I'm looking to connect with like-minded people who enjoy a relaxed book club setting, where we can share our thoughts over a cuppa or a glass of wine without the pressure of intense discussions. For me, reading is all about enjoyment, great stories, and good company!

Miranda (Romsey)

Hi I’m Miranda (26). I love reading fantasy fiction- from epic Game of Thrones to cosy Legends & Lattes. I loved Throne of Glass too. I’m looking to make some bookish friends who are like minded. Maybe would like to go to book events or coffee together. Message me!

Ash (Havant)

Just started reading again after a long break. Looking for like minded people to read with. I like psychological thrillers, horror and fantasy.

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.

FranklyStein (Basingstoke)

A lifelong book lover with a passion for historical fiction, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. I enjoy immersive storytelling, rich world-building, and thought-provoking narratives that stay with you long after the last page. Some of my all-time favorites include The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Always looking to connect with like-minded readers who love deep discussions, new book recommendations, and the occasional debate over the best (or worst) adaptations. Let’s talk books!

Pillars of the Earth

by Ken Follett | Buy this book

Pillars of the Earth is an epic blend of history, drama, and ambition, featuring rich medieval detail, complex characters, and a gripping story of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of a grand vision.
