Rachel (Bath)

I'm a mid twenties girl who likes to read a variety, from cosy fantasies to classics to Greek retellings. I'd love to find a book group that reads a similar variety!

Rachel recommends:

The Lost Bookshop

by Evie Woods | Learn more and buy

I felt immersed from the first page. I loved the author's style and ability to incorporate complex meaning with magic and a writing style that allows you to read easily and find enjoyment whether you're full of energy or tired after a week of work.

My first ever book that kept me going to finish off within few weeks

Arron (Bridgwater)

Hi everyone! I’m 33 and a proud parent of three, so life can be pretty busy—but I always make time for a good book. Reading is my favorite way to unwind, especially when I can get lost in a great story. I’m a big fan of fantasy and also like to read crime and thrillers. Looking for a book buddy in the Somerset area or a book club who I can share reads with.

Arron recommends:

Nikki (Weston-super-Mare)

Hi! I’ve just moved back to the West Country after 25 years away and I’m looking to make some new friends with shared interests. I tend to read non-fiction but I’m happy to read fiction, too - I’ll give most things a go. I’m a young-minded 51 year old who is very sociable but also respects boundaries. Hoping to find a nice book club to join or meet some people who would like to start one. 😊

Nikki recommends:

Persuasion

by Jane Austen | Learn more and buy

My favourite fiction author and not the usual first recommendation but all her books are glorious. Funny, insightful and intelligently written - very engaging reads. I love classics - but also love more modern writers.

Jo (Frome)

I enjoy reading history, historical fiction, classics, poetry, some modern fiction and would enjoy chatting with others who enjoy similar.

Rosie (Taunton)

20, University student. Love romance, crime and psychological thrillers in particular 😃

MeganJG (Bath)

Getting back into reading and looking for new friends. Enjoy most genres but mainly sci-fi and fantasy.

Hazel (Dulverton)

Hello I have just moved to Dulverton from Dorset and would love to connect with a local book club. I enjoy many genres of books - mainly fiction although I am interested in memoir. A very long time ago I did a degree in English literature and spent many years working as a teacher of English and Special Educational Needs. I now work part time as a counsellor. When I eventually unpack all my boxes of books I look forward to adding my recommendation!

Tricia (South Petherton)

I am soon to be 60, still working full time but would love to find a local book club that meets in the evening very happy to host

Jack (Taunton)

Hi all, I'm Jack, mid twenties and going through my reformed reader phase, getting back into it after a while away! I'm a fan of the weird, and have been focusing on slipstream, philosophical SF and anything looking at the social and political, but I would love to start covering more classics, fantasy and graphic novels. I love new ideas and would love to be part of discussions, hear new ideas from people and otherwise build a nice space to learn about new things.

Jack recommends:

The Good Angel of Death

by Andrey Kurkov | Learn more and buy

It has all the sarcastic and humanistic sensibilities of Terry Pratchett's language, but in scenarios you'd think were possible and people you can wholly imagine yourself wanting to meet. It's a wonderful thing to be able to have small snorts of laughter each page whilst still feeling terribly sad about the whole thing as the way Kurkov writes seems to make it clear that everything will end at some point.

Sue (Glastonbury)

I'm a pensioner. I am a keen reader of modern fiction and minor classics. I would like to exchange views about book with others in a regular reading club.
