Georgie (Sidcup)

I am an avid book reader with an interest in fantasy, dystopian and contemporary fiction. Looking to connect with other book lovers in local area so discuss all things book related! Interested to hear from people that might want to join a book club or reading group.

Louise (Sittingbourne)

I’m 43 and would love to join a monthly book group locally if one exists. I like most things, particularly thrillers and interested to meet and chat over coffee with others! :)

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.

Martian

by Andy Weir | Buy this book

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

Seveneves

by Neal Stephenson | Buy this book

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

War And Peace

by Leo Tolstoy | Buy this book

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.)

Tom (Ashford (Kent))

21M. Wanting to put myself around as many good people as possible. Finding people who take care of their minds is a great start 😁

Tom recommends:

Shoe Dog

by Phil Knight | Buy this book

Beginning with the budding roots of a yet to prosper nike, Phil Knight runs us through the mental gymnastics that he routinely navigated on his journey to the pinnacle of business success. Wicked book, with plenty of value for life at large.

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!
