Amanda (Dulverton)
I have moved from Oxfordshire and would like to meet like minded people who enjoy reading and discussing books. I work in the charity sector and find that reading a good book is like taking a holiday for the mind.

Alison (Burnham-on-Sea)
I’m a young in December 60yr old and absolutely love reading , I suffer with complex PDSA and I am Dyslexic. Sadly I am finding I am isolating myself which has been impacting my daily life . I am actually a very confident fun person on meeting , I read different genres of books by different authors , and thought a local book club would help me find fellow book lovers off all ages and hopefully get me gently out of my comfort zone gaining new friendships. Perhaps on line or even better still over a cup off Tea/ coffee & yummy cake be it at each other houses or somewhere like sanders garden centre , we can chat laugh and analyze recommended our latest reads.

Karen (Weston-super-Mare)
Hello, I'm a Creative Writing tutor who's just realised I only read work that students submit these days — that really needs to change. I'll give pretty much anything a go, but I particularly like anything spooky and Victorian (or Neo-Victorian.) If it's something ideally read by candlelight on Christmas Eve, I'm there. Looking forward to hearing from any like-minded ghost-story fans. (Online or in-person groups will be fine, but I'd need to meet up in Weston super Mare; I don't have transport.) All the best, Karen

Sarah (Frome)
I'm an enthusiastic reader, almost 60. I like comic romance, especially historical, most historical fiction with a female perspective, and quirky off-beat books like Lessons in Chemistry. All time favourite author has to be Jane Austen. Also happy to read 20th century and older books. The best bit about reading is sharing thoughts on the book and the insights in it that resonate today.

Hi, I’d like to meet people who love books and reading! I’m not a high brow reader, horror features highly on my most fave reads particularly Steven King, John Connolly and the like. 🤗

uphill book circle (Weston-super-Mare)
Hello, I have recently moved to the area and wanted a space where I could meet new people of all different ages and really get to know people whilst discussing a passion i’ve had from a very young age. I struggled to get into book clubs as i feel like it’s bracketed to a certain age or background. I want it to be inclusive to everyone and really build a community. please email me for any enquiries and if your too scared to join on your own bring a friend !! email address: uphillbookcircle@outlook.com

A.C (Frome)
Early 20's. Always on the look out for new book recommendations! I love most genres, from crime and horror to cozy romance novels. Already a member of a book club in my old town, however now I've moved I'd like to find another group closer to home.

BethLouiza (Frome)
I'm 18, I adore Romantasy, dark romance, anything that I can really use as an escape from reality. I'm wanting to join a book group just to make new friends that have the same interests as me, and to share my love and opinions for some fan favourite novels. I'm a homebody so I don't really enjoy leaving the comfort of my house, so I wouldn't really be meeting up a lot, though I could for the right people. I am excited to join this wonderful community!

David (Frome)
Have recently moved to Frome, and am missing the book club I belonged to at my previous home. We were a group of about 6 who met in one of a few pubs every month or so and read a varied selection of books…because we met rarely we read 2 books per meet, and tried to make one non-fiction and the other fiction from any era or genre. We tried to avoid ”airport-type” books though!

Hannah (Taunton)
I'm in my early 30s and trying to rekindle my love for reading - mainly fiction of all sorts! I've recently enjoyed reading Lady Audley's Secret and Evelina. I'm a Sophie Kinsella fan and also enjoy young adult and romance books. It would be nice to make female friends of a similar age who have shared interests and would enjoy meeting up for coffee & cake and sharing book recommendations :)

I’m an avid reader from the classics, biographies etc, to holiday fiction - I don’t enjoy Sci-fi but like most everything else. Looking to meet up with other bookworms who enjoy a good yarn.
