Yeovil Romantasy Book Club (Yeovil)

I’m looking for people to join a book club in the Yeovil area, although I’m happy to travel further out. A chance to make friends, discuss books, get new recommendations, maybe do some fun book-related crafts. 😊

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.
