I'm open to reading most genres, but I most often read fantasy. Looking to make some friends!

Maggie (Fareham)

I’ve joined two book clubs in the distant past and was rather put off as one group just nattered about anything and the other was intensely structured- I liked neither so am looking for a group who can discuss a book seriously but lightly over tea or coffee or even wine! By the way, if I can’t get into a book- I discard it - so the group would have to be open to how each of us feels and not be disparaging about non reads! I I’m over 70 and read a variety of genres on my Kindle. Novels, historical, WW2 Resistance stories, Autobiographies, sometimes text books for research. Not into crime or thrillers or holiday romance! I’m over 70

Laura (Southampton)

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

Sean (Southampton)

I enjoy my great works and my Russian literature.

Charlotte (Fareham)

Got back into reading in late 2023 and now your rarely find me without a book or my kindle.!! I mainly love crime & psychological thrillers…. But am open to exploring authors and genres that I haven’t yet found. I would love to make new friends and share our passion and love for books and reading.

Tendy (Hook)

A Little About Me I’m looking to rekindle my passion for reading and reconnect with the joy I used to find in getting lost in a good book. I’d love to meet other readers who enjoy sharing books, exchanging thoughts and ideas, and having meaningful conversations over a lovely cup of tea. I particularly enjoy romance, murder mysteries, crime, and historical or educational books. I’m open to discovering new authors and genres too, and I’m hoping to find a friendly, relaxed group where we can read together, have a good chat, and simply enjoy the experience of being book lovers. I’m really looking forward to discovering new stories, meeting fellow readers, and hopefully reigniting my love for reading along the way. 📚☕❤️

The Silent Patient

by Alex Michaelides | Learn more and buy

An intriguing, fascinating book that kept you in suspense until the very end. A book that can help you regain your love for reading, love for complex and complicated characters, for puzzles that unravel slowly before your eyes, but dynamically enough for the reader not to lose attention. I discovered the author since this book and I want to say that psychological thrillers are really something sensational!

Alanabunneyx (Aldershot)

I love a good romance (smutty), fantasy and thriller. I would love to be able to discuss books with someone!

Annihilation

by Jeff VanderMeer | Learn more and buy

Strange, intriguing and beautifully written. This book really transports you to a new place. It genuinely gave me the creeps and left me with pondering some deeper psychological questions!

Laura (Fareham)

Reading is one of my fave hobbies, I love crime book and romance, I read all types of genre except sci-fi and thriller which I would like to try to start reading.

Jill (Gosport)

GOSPORT AREA. I like many kinds of book, including sci-fi, American literature, some historical fiction, fantasy, short stories, things that make me laugh, things that count as both genre fiction and literature. Not great on 'real' literature and classics, but will try. Would also be keen on a Silent Book Club. Days or evenings fine with me.
