Kingdom of Ash

by Sarah J Mass | Buy this book

I read this book recently and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since, the whole series in fact. I love the world and the characters and it’s a perfect blend of fantasy and romance for me.

Chatterbox Book Club (Canterbury)

Monthly book club being held at Chatterbox Cafe, 9 Castle Street, Canterbury. We are planning to have an evening and an afternoon book club. It will be for affordable book readers ie books that can be obtained on Kindle or loaned out from the library.

Chatterbox (Canterbury)

As an individual I want to be part of a book group but couldn't find one so have set one up myself at Chatterbox Cafe in Canterbury

Sabine (Whitstable)

I'm 28 and recently moved to Whitstable! I love reading, so I'm hoping to find a book club to encourage me to read more and also meet some new friends in the area

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 !!!

Tee612 (Chatham)

I am interested in all genres and looking forward to discussing books with new people!

Betty (Sittingbourne)

I’d love to join a book club because reading has always been a personal passion of mine, especially horror and crime novels. I enjoy the thrill of a gripping mystery, the tension of a well-crafted plot, and the satisfaction of uncovering twists and turns. Being part of a book club would give me the chance to share that excitement with others, discover new authors and titles I might not come across on my own, and push myself to read more regularly. It’s also a great way to connect with people who share a love for storytelling and suspense.

Emily (Sevenoaks)

Hey i’m 24 & live in Borough green. Im a herbalist in training and live on some land in my converted bus. Would love a black cat. Spicy books & fantasy are my favourite genres. Would love to find a book club to meet up with or just connect with people who like similar books to me🌱

Grip

by Kennedy Ryan | Buy this book

Kennedy Ryan is an activist through her writing... in this trilogy she explores the complex dynamics in a biracial couple. She also works through loss, and trust. There is lots of romance, and funny moments. Her characters are compelling, and after prolific reading, I carry this story close to my heart.

Lorraine (Sidcup)

Love a good thriller but open to most genres. Would like to arrange a monthly/6 weekly meet up in a local pub one evening to chat about the book. What do you think?

Its witty and almost like a 60s cartoon in primary colour although the subject matter is fairly serious

Grace (Maidstone)

Hi I’m Grace, I love reading basically any genre, recently I’ve got out of reading and desperately want to get back into it, I think a book club would give that motivation! My favourite books include The Secret History and The Bell Jar. :)
