Hi! I’m new to the area and looking to make new friends. I’m F25 and a huge fan of romance in all its forms, but I’d love to expand my reading experience and explore new genres. I’m excited to join a book group to connect with fellow book lovers, discover great reads, and have fun discussions!

Debutante (Folkestone)

Hi I’m late 60’s and like to think of myself as young minded. I have a GSH and like a bit of banter and fun. Love reading and discussing books but don’t love it so much when things are taken too seriously. I have a Literature degree so have enjoyed analysing many books. However, I do feel that over analysing can sometimes lessen the enjoyment. I mainly like fiction one of my favourite books being ‘What I Loved’ by Siri Hustvedt. Also loved The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Fairly new to Sandgate so would like to make new friends in the process.
