I’ve had my nose in a book since I was about 3 years old. I love fiction, non-fiction, all sorts of genres, so long as the writing is good. Books I’ve loved this year: Our London Lives; Whistler; The Correspondent; Demon Copperhead; Fruit Fly; London Falling; The Spy and the Traitor; Moonlight Express: Around the World by Night Train; The Nord Stream Conspiracy. All time favourites: A Fine Balance; A Suitable Boy. I work full time, unsociable hours, and would love to meet other keen readers and get to know new people in the area.

Hilary (Tunbridge Wells)

I have worked in children's social care for 37 years so like to read books that sate my imagination away from the everyday and out of my comfort zone. Ive just moved to Tunbridge Wells so would love to join a book group to share views of books, have regular monthly meet ups and make friends. Anybody interested?

SophMcG (Maidstone)

Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m an avid reader who loves discovering new books and getting lost in different worlds. I enjoy a wide range of genres, from historical fiction, crime/thriller to contemporary novels, and I’m always up for discussing what I’ve read. I’m looking to join a book group because I’m eager to meet new people who share my passion for books. I’m excited about the idea of discovering books I wouldn’t have picked up on my own and hearing different perspectives. Joining a book club feels like the perfect way to connect with others who enjoy reading as much as I do!

Sarah (Margate)

I am a retired librarian and an avid reader of everything and anything. I would love to share recommendations and thoughts about books with like minded people

Sarah recommends:

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Learn more and buy

A fantasy novel with an unexpected ending. Strange and compelling

Linda (Sidcup)

In recent years I haven’t read as much as I would have liked, but I am looking for inspiration, motivation and friendship from a reading group local to Sidcup.

Rose (Maidstone)

I love reading lots of genres but thrillers, romance and mystery are definitely my favourites

Rose recommends:

Verity

by Colleen Hoover | Learn more and buy

So many twist and turns keeps you on your toes

Sadie (Dover)

I’m a big fan of psychological thrillers and feel-good rom-coms, but I’m always happy to try something new. Looking forward to finding my next favourite book and meeting fellow book lovers!

esperanza (Canterbury)

ex pat recently moved to canterbury from new york, looking for a local book club to join.

meghanwriter (Maidstone)

I’m Meghan. I’m 29 years old and love most genres. Fantasy and romantasy will always have a special place in my heart. My favs are ACOTAR, The Shepherd King duology and Caraval. I’m looking at starting a silent book club in Maidstone if anyone wants to join or help hit me up :)

my jeejah has a speelycaptor (Gravesend)

44M. I'm here to get recommendations for new books, and perhaps to meet like-minded people in/near Gravesend. I suspect this type of person is not to be found in a pub of an evening. I like non-fiction, and when I go for fiction, it's mostly sci-fi. For some reason, I also love the Russian classics of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky. If you know what jeejahs and speelycaptors are, then you know what I like.

my jeejah has a speelycaptor recommends:

Martian

by Andy Weir | Learn more and buy

It's sci-fi, but with minimal fi.

Seveneves

by Neal Stephenson | Learn more and buy

Once you accept the premise (something happened to the moon), it all follows wonderfully.

War And Peace

by Leo Tolstoy | Learn more and buy

It's an absolute masterpiece, and with good reason. It'll show you what's great about Russian culture and history. (It's such a shame that Putin has forced Russia into its current situation. I have helped by hosting Ukrainians in my house for the last 2 years.)

Paul (Ashford (Kent))

Paul recommends:

The Rum Diary

by Hunter S. Thompson | Learn more and buy

Thompsons fictionalised.autobiographical novel of his time working at a failing newspaper in Puerto Rico where its only safe to drink copious amounts of Rum is a hilarious story of paranoia, alienation and frustration.

Alltoowellread (Ebbsfleet)

Love reading and looking to meet some new people discuss my latest read with over coffee. And maybe sometimes wine…

Jess (Maidstone)

33 (almost 34 😬) and a book lover since forever. After a lull I’ve been getting back into reading in the last couple of years and I really love anything with romance in it (sorry, simple reader here!) but I also love a good fantasy and sometimes sci-fi novel anything to get me out of the boring mundane world I’ll take it!

Jess recommends:

The crown of oaths and curses

by J.Bree | Learn more and buy

Not a perfect novel by any stretch but I’ve really loved its slow burn nature and how the worlds been built. It’s also a monster in word count so kept me busy for a good couple of weeks which was a nice switch of pace!

Tanja (Sandwich)

Wicked sense of humour meets bookworm. Looking for like-minded people for weekly meets to discuss books and life in general over a cup of coffee or glas off wine.

Georgina (Maidstone)

I am a 24F. I love Gothic books and I have loads of classic gothic books I want to read. I would love to connect with people. I will absolutely read most things and open to recommendations! I am trying to get back into reading after a long time and I think a book club could be the way to go !!!
