Nothing to see here

by Susan lewis | Learn more and buy

I fell in love with the author after a recommendation from a friend. I really enjoyed the Andee Lawrence series but recently have enjoyed the Cristy Ward series

Ana (Henley-on-Thames)

Hi, I've recently renewed my love of reading and would love to join a local book club. I'd love to hear different perspectives/opinions on the same book and also discover new books/genres I might not consider. I'm also new to the area and would like to meet new people who share my love of a good book.

Adrienne (Thame)

Historical, contemporary fiction, magical realism - so often enhanced by discussion. I'm new to the area and would like to join a book club

Fantasyjunkie265 (Didcot)

Hi! I’m Kirsty and I’m looking to join a book club, ideally with a strong love for fantasy. I’m always up for discovering new worlds, swapping recommendations, and talking far too much about books once I’m hooked. I’d also love to meet new people in the area and make some genuine friendships along the way. If you enjoy fantasy reads and good conversation, I’m in. If there isn’t a book group in Didcot for this, happy to make one with others!

The Inheritance Cycle

by Christopher Paolini | Learn more and buy

The Inheritance Cycle is one of those series I keep coming back to. It starts with someone ordinary being thrown into something much bigger than themselves, and you get to watch them grow through mistakes, responsibility, and impossible choices. There’s dragons, magic, battles, and real stakes, but also quieter moments about morals, honour, love, and loss. Even the enemy feels understandable, which somehow makes it hit harder. It’s comforting and exciting at the same time — like there’s a bit of everything in there.

JoelRyan (Henley-on-Thames)

I love reading a broad range of books and discovering new authors - I haven't been in a reading club for a while and miss it!

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

Kezia (Oxford)

My name is Kezia, I’m 31 and recently moved to Oxford from London. I am a secondary school English teacher, so I’m lucky enough to be able to share my passion for reading with the younger generation. I am really keen to meet likeminded people in Oxford, and a book club is a great way to do this, as I’m an avid reader but also very sociable.

AnnieLou (Chipping Norton)

I'm new to the Witney/Chipping Norton and love reading all things fantasy and romantasy. Dabbled with a bit of light horror and crime fiction (love me a true crime podcast) but do always find myself back in the fantasy section for a bit of comfort. Looking for a good chinwag about something other than the weather and a bit of guidance about what to read next.

Nigel (Oxford)

I am an active over-60 man interested in languages, chess, walking and ... books! I read novels, fantasy and non-fiction. Never joined a book club and am curious as to whether I might find like-minded people in one?

Nigel recommends:

The Art of Impossible

There's a lot of information about how to achieve your best, from strategies to keep your mood up to what it takes to get into a state of flow.

KTB (Didcot)

Have been in book clubs in Trinidad, Turks/Caico, USA, Vienna. Substance. Classics. Like when folks have read before they show up. I could be up for the Jane Austen book club this year though cliche, and some Shakespeare, and some bucket list.

Danielle (Banbury)

I enjoy to reading and running. Finding a companion to do both would be divine. I enjoy most genres; I am not too picky. But, if I had to choose, I enjoy thriller/mystery/horror, fantasy, self help, political, and nonfiction.
