I am in my 30s and would like to get back into reading so like the thought of a book group to meet new people and encourage me to read again.

BookReader64 (Fareham)

Hi I’m a 44yo wife and mum who loves reading books, sometimes slowly. I mostly enjoy psychological thrillers. Would love to meet local friends who enjoy quiet cafes and discussing good books (where my daughter can attend also; quiet, calm child who also loves to read).

All the Ugly and Wonderful Things

by Bryn Greenwood | Buy this book

Really hard to explain without spoiling but you will love the unexpected and want what you don’t expect to want happen.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

by Betty Smith | Buy this book

A lovely book. Hard to put down and draws you in to the characters.

Louis (Farnborough)

Hi! I'm looking to make new friends and connect over a common interest in books! I mostly enjoy science fiction/fantasy, mystery and historical fiction but I am hoping to broaden my literary horizons so I welcome any suggestions and recommendations.

Louis recommends:

Katherine of Aragon

by Alison Weir | Buy this book

A well researched book which demonstrates the authors passion for the particular historical period and persons. I thought the author wrote Katherine of Aragon's story with such attentiveness, sensitivity and respect.

Ella (Andover)

Summer Rain (Aldershot)

I enjoy reading most genres and am looking to join a friendly book club to discuss ideas and make friends.

Ailsa (Southampton)

Ailsa recommends:

A short stay in hell

by Steven L. Peck | Buy this book

This is a great short story, focusing on one man’s stay in hell. It kept me interested throughout and I finished it in one sitting.

Polina recommends:

The Silent Patient

by Alex Michaelides | Buy this book

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!

Eva (Southampton)

Hi, I’m Eva from Southampton. I enjoy to read crime, thriller and murder twists the most.

Eva recommends:

by Lisa Jewell | Buy this book

Unpredictable

Dennis book reader (Brockenhurst)

Dennis book reader recommends:

Harrys Game

by Gerald Seymour | Buy this book

Arguably the most realistic thriller ever written, page turner with real characters with human flaws and failings. The opposite of the Bourne trilogy or James Bond

Ed Johnson (Aldershot)

I am wanting to promote my own book and get feedback from real people who read it.

Literature Nut (Whitchurch (Hampshire))

I read every chance i get. I love post modern and contemporary literature. I also read victorian novels, historical fiction and psychology books, old and new. My favourite books are written by women about women. Popular fiction is not my thing at all. I am looking to find a group who is passionate about good literature, who loves talking about what makes a good writer and who loves to connect with and find meaning in fiction.
