A Rebours

by Joris-Karl Huysmans | Learn more and buy

This is the yellow book in 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray'. It involves a French aristocrat conducting experiments on himself.

Christine (Canterbury)

I love books! Fiction, Biographies, Mysteries, and Histories but I'm open to different genres. I have lived in several countries and so am open to all authors. I've lived in the UK for five years now and it's time to get my nose out of a book and enjoy the lovely benefits of a book club.

Lotty, 36 (Maidstone)

Saw an advert for a book club on social media, and thought to myself why haven’t I looked to see if there’s any book clubs in Maidstone before now! Have recently discovered Martina Cole, enjoy Victoria Hislop, enjoy a sarcastic sense of humour. Open to most genres but not a fan of fantasy / sci-fi

Joanne (Maidstone)

Hi I’m Joanne, 32 yrs and have surprised myself by falling in love with reading. Mostly romance, thrillers or the odd spicy one are my pick 😆 looking to meet new people regularly with similar taste in books to share thoughts over a cocktail or coffee. Furry companions welcome

Beth (Canterbury)

Hello I’m 25yo and I’ve recently moved to Canterbury. Looking to be part of a social book club in the area, and I’m open to reading a wide variety of books!

KatieX (Chatham)

Hi, I'm Katie, 20, female. I love reading romance (especially sports romance), a lot of dark romance, a sprinkle of fantasy here and there, and self-development books. I'd love to meet new people who share these interests, and to discuss, read and review new books.

Jo (Gillingham (Kent))

Looking for a social book club. I love most genres of fiction. Particularly crime and fantasy. Be great to meet some new people and get a regular fixture into the diary. Three kids now growing up, so I thought it’s a good time to start.

New to TW (Tunbridge Wells)

Hello! Just moved here from London and love a good book and a great conversation about a good book! Would love to meet fellow people interested in forming a book club or joining one

As a man thinketh

by James Allen | Learn more and buy

Short and thought provoking in a world where "things and thoughts" can overtake you, it is important to make them count..

Sintia (Gravesend)

Looking to join a local book club. Love reading, especially novels based on true stories, but also crime, romance and history (there really isn’t a lot I don’t like).

Shan (Gillingham (Kent))

Hi, I’m Shannon a 25 year old from Medway, I love reading thriller, crime and true crime books. Currently reading ‘TH1RT3EN’ by Steve Cavanagh I’m looking to meet likeminded people and make friends :)

Bibliophile (Tunbridge Wells)

An extroverted introvert! Former teacher, mother of three and (lively and involved) granny of five.

Bibliophile recommends:

Girl, Woman, Other

by Bernardine Evaristo | Learn more and buy

A series of stories about womens' lives, separate but interlinked, which come together in the final chapter. Beautifully written and very satisfying.

Bibliophile (Tunbridge Wells)

I will be looking after my baby granddaughter in Tunbridge Wells for three days a week January-May and would like to meet people while I am there rather than just sitting around doing nothing in the evenings. I am a member of a lively book group in Richmond, where I live for the rest of the week, and would like to find something similar in TW.

The Rum Diary
