Lydia recommends:

A Court of Thorns and Roses

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

I loved the world building, the characters and who doesn't love a Love Triangle! I've moved on a bit since this book but a great first romance-fantasy read.

Gail (Taunton)

Retired, but reading every day; looking for outside inspiration

Gail recommends:

The Annual Banquet of teh Gravediggers' Guild

by Mathias Enard, translated from the french | Buy this book

It is witty, funny, shocking, descriptive of an area of France, contemporary and brilliantly plotted with a satisfying end

Gail (Taunton)

I am 67 and still an avid reader, of all kinds of books, including non-fiction. Have just discovered Fitzcorraldo publishers who do translations and read a wonderful French book. But I will read anything, including science fiction, fantasy, poetry and eco stories.

Claus (Weston-super-Mare)

I am new to reading. It is not that I have nerver read a book! But never was a passion until recently, when I moved to England (Weston-super-mare) and I found myself reading more. I am discovering nice fiction, non-fiction, biographies, philosophy, etc. books. The only books I have not tried, and I think I may not enjoy are fantasy books, but please do not judge for that. I know many people love those type of books and movies, but is not something I enjoy. I am interested in finding a book club, where we can meet to discuss about a specific book, make friends, enjoy some tea and a nice chat.

Claus recommends:

Siddharta

I’ve read this book 3 times now and it gets better each time I swear. I love Greek mythology retellings and this is by far my favourite.

Hannah recommends:

The School for Good Mothers

by Jessamine Chan | Buy this book

An area of dystopian novels I have never thought about before! Scarily realistic and thought-provoking!

The Stranger

by Harlan Coben | Buy this book

It keeps you on the edge of your seat. Couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and turns.

Hello, we’ve just moved to Clevedon and are looking for a Book Group to join. We like a wide range of books, particularly travel, historical fiction, contemporary fiction autobiographies etc, and are happy to try new things!

Gemma (Frome)

I’m pretty varied when it comes to genres but right now I love a good romance, particularly any that include fantasy or dystopian setting. Looking for like minded reader/s who like a good natter too - over a coffee or on a walk would be fab.

Paul (Glastonbury)

CaitlynB (Glastonbury)

I’m 24 and currently living in Glastonbury. The books I read go from classics to typical beach reads. Meeting up around crisps, wine or cupcakes to talk about these would be great.

CaitlynB recommends:

You Could Be so Pretty

by Holly Bourne | Buy this book

It’s a YA dystopia that makes you reflect on social norms around beauty standards for women. Bourne creates an engaging plot while also commenting on the social pressures put on women to appear a certain way to men, other women and even to people in their close circles.

Cazzie Dora (Taunton)

Hi! I’m new Taunton from Glastonbury. I love reading (especially crime thrillers) so would love to join a book club and make new friends along the way :)

Reader (Taunton)

I'm looking to meet like-minded people within the area and perhaps make friends.

KateC (Street)

I used to love English Literature at school, it would have been my degree but my terrible A-Level tutor put me off. As an adult, I have returned to reading classic novels for pleasure, but also enjoy anything with a good story and well developed characters.
