embez (Taunton)

Looking to meet other readers for coffee and cake and share a love of reading!

David (Frome)

Have recently moved to Frome, and am missing the book club I belonged to at my previous home. We were a group of about 6 who met in one of a few pubs every month or so and read a varied selection of books…because we met rarely we read 2 books per meet, and tried to make one non-fiction and the other fiction from any era or genre. We tried to avoid ”airport-type” books though!

Hannah (Taunton)

I'm in my early 30s and trying to rekindle my love for reading - mainly fiction of all sorts! I've recently enjoyed reading Lady Audley's Secret and Evelina. I'm a Sophie Kinsella fan and also enjoy young adult and romance books. It would be nice to make female friends of a similar age who have shared interests and would enjoy meeting up for coffee & cake and sharing book recommendations :)

Suzanne (Wells)

I’m an avid reader from the classics, biographies etc, to holiday fiction - I don’t enjoy Sci-fi but like most everything else. Looking to meet up with other bookworms who enjoy a good yarn.

A Thousand Feasts

by Nigel Slater | Buy this book

Beautifully written, painting gentle pictures of life with carefully crafted words and sensitive depictions of food, it’s like a little jewel box.

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!

Georgina (Frome)

I am an avid reader who enjoys, romance, fantasy and contemporary literature who is looking to be part of a book club that meets once or twice a month.

Newtohere (Yeovil)

I have just moved to Sherborne and I’m looking for a bookgroup. I belonged to one for almost 25 years and it was great because we had wide ranging tastes and it meant I read books that I would never have otherwise read. Some of my favourite authors are Margaret Attwood, Donna Taart, Margaret Drabble and the classics. I can meet either during the day or evenings.

The Metamorphosis is a thought-provoking novella that explores themes of alienation, identity, and the human condition. Its surreal and symbolic narrative makes readers reflect on societal expectations and personal transformation.
