Emily (Bridgwater)

Hi there! (Bridgwater based) I’m an avid reader who’s always got a book on the go! Love an easy read as long as it grips me in the first 1/3! Live for a sports romance, cowboy romance, small town romance and will dabble in a mafia romance too as long as it’s not too scary! Horror/thriller is a big no go very much a scaredy cat!! Favourite troupes are marriage of convenience or single parent vibes but will go beyond especially if they’re part of a series! Will reread if I so much as think of a scene that happened in a book I’ve read I just can’t help but want that feeling again :D Current authors on repeat are JJ Mulder, Eden Finley, Lulu Moore! Kindle Unlimited is the best £8.50 I spend every month, but I can’t help but to buy the physical copy’s too! Shopping for books followed by a coffee and a cake in a little cafe if very much my vibe <3 Need someone to chat with get recs from who get the level of excitement I experience when I reach 80% and the break up/ get back together stage is happening!

The Right Move  by Liz Tomforde
The Right Move
by Liz Tomforde | Buy this book
The whole windy city series is great don’t get me wrong but this book just hits different! In most romance books the MMC is what we all strive for, but all book boyfriends are knocked out of the park by Ryan Shay honestly perfection! Sincerely a girl who has read literally 100’s of romance books and will constantly compare all men to Mr Ryan Shay he’s just happiness and care and kindness personified! Get ready to swoon!

Meg (Yeovil)

Taken up reading again more seriously over the last few years after reading the ‘Marple’ 12 short stories inspired by Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple. I’ve since read almost all the Miss Marple books, and also enjoyed archaeology and history related novels, books with a dystopian twist or thought provoking message, detective fiction and those with a strong female lead/feminist theme.

Kiz (Yeovil)

Hello, I'm Kizzy! I'm a passionate reader with a very open mind – I love diving into all sorts of genres, from swoon-worthy romance to spine-chilling horror to worlds full of fantasy or books full of suspense and yes I do not shy away from some deliciously smutty books! My love for books isn’t limited to just one type of genre. I'm really hoping to meet new friends through a book club and discover authors I've never read before. Right now I’m reading ‘The Let Them Theory’ which is a genre I didn’t think I would read but am finding it very interesting.

Jack (Taunton)

Hi! My name is Jack, in my mid-twenties and I am looking to join a book club. I seem to enjoy literary fiction with quite a few of my favourites being postmodern sort of stuff. I also go for psychological fiction as well as some thrillers. I am keen and open to broadening that scope though! My favourite author is Vonnegut I would say but I read books very different to his style too. I am looking to have people to discuss a book with!
