I'm Ryan, 31, and love fantasy and horror. Just moved to the area and trying to find some book friends. If I'm not reading I'm likely hiking, pottering around the garden centre, or trying to write my first novel.

Dani (Yeovil)

Hi! I’m 26 and reading is one of my favourite things to do. My favourite genre is romantasy but I also love a bit of sci-fi. If I’m not reading I’m probably crafting. I moved to Somerset last year and would love to make some friends. 😊

Tetiana (Nailsea)

My name is Tanya, 72, and I moved to Nailsea from Surrey recently to be closer to my family. I would like to join the reading club because reading is what I do in my spare time, mainly historical novels. Also I’d like to meet new friends with similar interests. I started reading early, but really enjoying reading since I became a teenager, and it was mainly classical literature. I found for myself French writers like George Sand, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Honore de Balzac, Emil Zola, later Scottish R. L. Stevenson and Thackeray, I didn’t enjoy reading Charles Dickens, I found his books dark and gloomy. I am also familiar with Russian, German and American literature. Theodore Dreiser is among my favourites.

Loen (Frome)

I’m 19 and have just moved to the area so I’m hoping to meet some people my age! I’ve loved reading since I was introduced to jacqueline wilson’s books as a kid and although I havent managed to read as much as I wanted throughout my teens, I’m now rediscovering my love for fantasy and anything with a good strong plot. I’m also a part of the lgbtq+ community so if a book has queer characters thats a big plus for me!
