Steve (Cheddar)

Looking to get back into reading.

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 | Buy this book

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.

Sabrina (Taunton)

I’m looking to join a book club which is as in love with fantasy, crime and a slice of LGBTQ as much as I am! Would also like to meet and make friends with like-minded people.

Sabrina recommends:

The seven death of Evelyn Hardcastle

A genre twisting murder mystery that absolutely had me hooked from the start

A profound story about life & death and making the most of the time you have, delivered with Pratchett's weapons grade humour & satire.

Still Life

Bookish Amy (Taunton)

Hiya, looking to start a book club in Taunton to meet monthly on a weekday evening, with books spanning both fiction and non-fiction. In fiction I particularly enjoy cosy crime, fantasy, classics, contemporary literature and historical fiction; in non-fiction, I enjoy history, philosophy, science and societal commentaries. Would like to discover some new and interesting reads!

Bookish Amy recommends:

Mort

by Terry Pratchett | Buy this book

Pratchett is the absolute pinnacle of fantasy writing for me as he combines it with a razor sharp wit and societal satire. Mort is a particularly good entry book for anyone interested in the Discworld series of books.

Brian (Bridgwater)

Retired pharmacist, married, with an interest in old (and new) religions, astrology, qabalah, tarot and occultism. Interested in the work of Jung and Steiner. Don't read much fiction these days but anything to do with the supernatural attracts.
