All listings in Hampshire

Lucy (Gosport)

Im currently 17 and would like to find other people my age to start a face to face book club with. I mainly read romance, thrillers and horror but occasionally fantasy. I would love to start a book club with younger people possibly ages 16 to 20.

Tom (Southampton)

Looking to join a face-to-face book club to expand my social circle, & to broaden my literary horizons! Typically I’m into thrillers (Reacher), police procedural (Rebus), and post-apocalyptic (Edge of Darkness), but also enjoy a good history book too, and open to other genres.

Sam (Whitchurch (Hampshire))

I love to read and am looking for like-minded people to share my love and socialise with.

Lyndsey (Andover)

I’d love to find a group of local book lovers that enjoy fantasy/romance/thriller reads! I recently moved to Andover and it would be great to find some book friends here :)

Nicola1977 (Fareham)

I moved to Hampshire last year and would love to join a local book club. I need to get out of the house more and meet new people and hopefully make some new friends with similar interests. I want to enjoy a book club with a relaxed discussion over a cuppa or glass of wine without the pressure of intense discussion. I just finished reading The Women which I loved but open to reading pretty much anything.

Lily (Hook)

Head over heels into romance! Occasional crime/thrillers and open to trying new books :) Hoping to find a book club for recommendations and getting me out of my comfort zone!

Susierow (Fareham)

I enjoy a mix of contemporary fiction and romance, and I’m always up for a good story with strong characters. Coco Mellors is a favourite, and I also love classics like To Kill a Mockingbird.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein

by Coco Mellors | Buy this book

Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors offers a compelling look at complex relationships and personal growth. Mellors’ direct writing style brings depth to everyday emotional struggles, capturing the subtleties of love and identity without glossing over the challenges. The result is a thoughtfully crafted narrative that resonates with readers through its honest portrayal of human connection.

EdwardP (Lymington)

To read more and meet like minded people at the same time..

Frankie (Basingstoke)

I'm 25 and wanted to find people with similar interests and talk about more interesting topics. I wouldn't say I'm a hard-core bookworm but I do love to read. I'm recently into books written by Taylor Reid jenkins.

Kayley:) (Farnborough)

Cosy Crime Book Club (Southampton)

Hello, I was looking for a book club for cosy crime, thriller, and mystery and decided to make my own! We meet once a month at Retro Cafe on Bedford Place on the 2nd Monday of the month. We are a friendly and welcoming bunch who enjoy discussing books over tea and cakes. We are completely free to join (and always will be). My partner made a website for us (and I did the illustrations) that has all the information about our club. The link is: CosyCrimeSouthampton.com 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.
