Ingerid (Oxford)

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

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

Beth (Witney)

Hi there I’m Beth. I’m a young adult looking to meet new people who also enjoying meeting up for a pint and chatting about books/life! I live in Witney but am willing to travel in Oxfordshire. I mostly read fiction books (some classics) and the occasional non-fiction on topics I’m interested in.

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.

Online Read and Relax (Oxford)

This is a weekly safe space for women to log in, have a little chat about what we are reading and then relax into reading in companionable silence. It is your scheduled time out to relax doing something you enjoy, from the comfort of your home with other book lovers.

Steph (Oxford)

I'm a fan of contemporary lit, magical realism, horror, historical fiction, and maybe a bit of romance. Looking to find a book club near Kidlington with people around my age (early to mid 20s) with a nice variety of books!

Steph recommends:

Lost in the Garden

by Adam S. Leslie | Learn more and buy

Like nothing I'd ever read before. In the best way.

Gabi (Oxford)

I am a German writer living in Oxford and Nice, France. I got a nice book Club in Nice. And now looking for one in Oxford. And may be I should mention, I am in my early 70s.

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!

Fantasyjunkie265 recommends:

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.

Estelle (Wantage)

I love reading most genres, any book that expands the horizen, like meeting new people. period of 6 weeks between meetings preferred.

LongboiJimmy (Oxford)

eclectic reader, enthusiastic about many different types of fiction - favourite authors include: Angela Carter, Shirley Jackson, Toni Morrison, Harper Lee, Ursula K Le Guin.

LongboiJimmy recommends:

The Bloody Chamber

by Angela Carter | Learn more and buy

feminist, magical realism, beautiful prose

Frankie (Abingdon)

Love reading romance , open to try to new novels not too far from what I read. Abingdon. Love to find a group to discuss answers up once a month maybe

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.

Teio (Witney)

I love reading it mostly read romantasy, fantasy, romance/dark romance If you want to do a read together let me know I would love to talk and read books with book people that understand the feelings that come with reading x I'm from around witney

Teio recommends:

A court of silver and flames

by Sarah J Maas | Learn more and buy

It's my favourite in the series but I love love this serie (obsessed maybe )

ZoeDilli (Faringdon)

Avid reader, looking for a more social aspect. Open to most genres

Tom (Abingdon)

My recent choices seem a bit random when I list them out (The Trial, Lolita, Bono's autobiography and a Len Deighton novel) - but I love great or interesting writing, whatever it is! I'm at the tail end of my 40's and like to try new things - suddenly felt like sharing thoughts with others about books could be fun. Once a month would be about right.

Abby (Oxford)

I (29) have recently moved to Oxford and looking to join a book club to meet new people and chat about books. I’m trying to set good habits in the New Year and would love to join a book club to help with this. I read a mixture of fiction and non-fiction and am not particularly fussy.
