Tracy (Belvedere)

I like to read and I'm looking for a group that meets in the Belvedere or Erith area. I tend to read mostly sci-fi or historical fiction, but one of the things I like about a book group is it gets me reading things I wouldn't otherwise look at.

Tracy recommends:

Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
Troubled Blood
by Robert Galbraith | Buy this book
I just love this whole series, partly for the murder-mystery aspect (I never see the ending coming), but mostly for the characters, in particular the two main detectives and how they work together and are building a business and a friendship together around this work which so much to the both of them. You see that neither of them are perfect, they both make mistakes, but even through their miscommunications they work so well together and they do amazing things. It's really quite inspiring. So I love the series in general, but Troubled Blood in particular is a really nice example of all of that.
Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez
Invisible Women
by Caroline Criado Perez | Buy this book
This is non-fiction, but an absolutely jaw-dropping read, I recommend it to everyone. It looks at the ways that the existence and needs of women has been ignored when designing almost anything and everything you can think of, from products to policies. Really important book.

Sophie Marie (Margate)

I’m 27 and last year Colleen Hoover got me hooked on reading and before I knew it, I’d read more books than ever before in my life. I typically read romance and branching into fantasy- currently low key obsessed with Fourth Wing. Really I’m just looking to meet new people to discuss books with and share recommendations.

I want to read more and to meet like minded people. I really enjoy quirky books that have me gripped. I love foreign books too such as African and Japanese.

Henry (Margate)

I enjoy reading speculative fiction (apart from horror). I love it when a writer pushes characters to extreme situations and sees how society and individuals will react to extraordinary events. I’m also keen to be directed to books that I might not have thought of reading. I don’t like a book to be overly descriptive but to leave enough space for the readers imagination to run wild by being presented with creative and unique scenarios and environments. Reading is a way for me to unwind and dream a little.

Granary Book Club & Writers Group (Maidstone)

We started as Granary Writers, however, due to Covid, and general life getting in the way, our numbers have reduced slightly. To keep us going, we have decided to branch out into both reading and writing; people are more than welcome to bring their thoughts and critique's on our bi-monthly nominated book (or indeed share how they've been enjoying their own reading) or bring along and read what creative writing they have been working on. We are a friendly bunch that meet in St Paul's Church along Boxley Road once every two months and would be very welcoming to new members when we meet again in the new year.
