Albun (Bicester)

Hi I'm 27. I used to love reading when I was a kid, went through quite a lot of books. Fell out of love and am trying to find my love for it again. Meeting new people maybe an added bonus too. I am interested in Mystery, SciFi etc. Would love to try new genres as well. Please let me know if there's a club in the Oxfordshire area :)

From Norway, just moved to Oxford due to a research paper I’m writing. Have always loved reading, but fell back in love with reading last year. In Norway book clubs are not that big so I have never had the opportunity to join one, but now it’s a part of my dream while I’m in oxford

Its the book that made me fall back in love with reading

I'm in my early 30s, would love to have someone/people to talk through my reads and other things with. I mainly enjoy historical fiction, but have started branching out to fantasy and other genres

Hi, I am interested in joining a book group to both improve on and expand on literature in a informal setting, as well as being in a group with others also interested in reading.

Hi! I’m Lorraine, I’m 52 and I'm looking to join a book club to expand the breadth of the books that I read and to meet new people in my local area. I like non-fiction with a meaning 😊

Andrew (Oxford)

I am an artist, in my early 60s, and have been catching up on some of the great literature that I never read when I was younger. From The Odyssey to Ulysses, plus powerful newer writers such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and beautiful classics such as The Great Gatsby. Also occasional non-fiction, political or historical. I would like to find a small group to chew over books such as these, to be introduced to some new ideas……and to have a bit of fun in the process.

Theresa (Oxford)

I teach English at a local secondary school and would love the chance to talk books with some grown ups and meet some new people!

S (Witney)

I'm a girl in my late 20s that has lived in the area for just over 2 years and still do not know that many people. I love reading, mostly romance or romantasy, but will read other genres from time to time. Hoping to meet some like minded people, and make some friends. - S x

Tom (Witney)

I like to read historical fiction and fantasy books. I'm interested in history, politics and economics

Brianne (Faringdon)

Hello! I work with kids and read a lot of YA and middle school fiction. I would love to find a group or a person to read books (fantasy, science fiction, self help, non fiction, mystery/thriller, fiction) and just discuss and talk about it. I would love to meet friends and connect!

Devine Rivals

by Rebecca Ross | Buy this book

This is a YA but it is so beautifully written, you wouldn’t know that it was YA. It takes the horrors of war and guides the readers on a journey through hope, and truth. Its just so beautifully written. The chapters start off small but they get longer as you keep reading and I think that is part of its charm as you explore the two perspectives as one. Honestly cant rate this book highly enough.

Emma J (Witney)

I am a fan of historical fiction and books on social commentary. I'm not keen on crime, fantasy and/or romance novels ("penny dreadfuls"). I'm a middle-aged feminist, supportive of the exploration of EDI issues, particularly relating to mental health, the menopause, maternal separation and the LGBTQAIP+ community. I am a keen reader but I live on my own so would like the opportunity to engage with others on topics that are important to our society. I am currently reading, "Henry VIII, The Heart & The Crown" by Alison Weir and "The Art of Thinking Clearly" by Rolf Dobelli.

confessions of a forty-something f##k up

by Potter, Alexandra | Buy this book

Told from a woman's perspective this is light-hearted, funny and deeply serious, all at the same time. As a 40-something f##k up, I found this extremely relatable. It's a fictional novel but it could just as easily be classed as a self-help book and it really helped my understand that I'm not a f##k up, I'm human and there is no text book for life. A very refreshing and uplifting read.

Jojo (Oxford)

Used to belong to an amazing independent book club which totally broadened my genres and books that I would have been ignored. Love fiction but not a fan of science fiction or fantasy. I am an avid reader and miss a local gathering to discuss a chosen book.

Jojo recommends:

A Little Life

by Hanna Yangari Hara | Buy this book

An emotional rollercoaster that left me totally wrung out to dry

OneoftheAnas (Bicester)

Avid reader and coffee drinker! Some of my favourite book genres are fiction, fantasy, mystery and anything adventure related. I'm always happy to learn about other genres and find more books to read.. especially if coffee is involved.

King of Scars

by Leigh Bardugo | Buy this book

Great plot and amazing characters. Couldn't put this book down! It's part of a great series and definitely recommend!

Emma (Wallingford)

I would love to join a book club to broaden my range of authors and to make me accountable for reading for pleasure so I can switch off from work! I’m in my early 40s
