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!

Michelle (Taunton)

Hi, I like murder mysteries/detective stories, looking to meet new friends who love books as much as me. I am really into Harlan Coben right now, i would like to meet, needs to be in Taunton area due to lack of transport.

Michelle recommends:

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.

Venetia (Clevedon)

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)

Old but still exploring Earth and the human condition. Enjoy company of all ages, books by the inquisitive, inventive, explorative, sensitive, funny, weird…meeting once a week in Glasto for yakking and tea

Paul recommends:

Maverick

by Ricardo Semler | Buy this book

A Community way of running a complex business/institution

Holly (Taunton)

Recently relocated to the area, in my early 30s and looking for a local bookclub to meet new people! My favourite author is Harlan Coben, but I like most genres!

Suzie (Wedmore)

I'm looking to meet people, make friends and enjoy interesting discussions. I'd be thrilled if tea and cake were a part of this! 😂 My choice of books is eclectic and would look forward to being introduced to writers that are new to me.

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.

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 :)

Blood Axe

by Leigh Russell | Buy this book

Real gritty crime page turner!

Ayo (Bath)

I’m a computer science graduate of oduduwa university ile Ife osun state. I’m a product designer. I'm very mellow, soft-spoken, kinds, considerate, happy, and love to laugh (hopefully you're funny), love to cuddle, positive outlook on life.

Toria V. (Glastonbury)

New to the area and love reading so this might be a good way to meet new folk.

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.

MeganJG (Bath)

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

NailseaNewbie (Nailsea)

I’m a guy in his early 40s, new to the area, who enjoys reading (and writing). My social circle is non-existent since I moved so it would also be great to socialise

Angela (Yeovil)

Hi, I’m mid 50’s with an empty nest and would love to get back into reading. I love mystery and crime and have recently grown to love cosy murders.

Archie Leach (Burnham-on-Sea)

Im a single male in my 50's. I'm pretty open in my choice of reading but I suppose crime or murder mystery are a staple along with biographies. I would like to get out, interact with a few people and read much more. I'm currently reading Israel Rank.

Gerard (Frome)

I enjoy non-fiction as well as fiction, from books about science to politics or history and from fantasy and sci-fi to historical and literary fiction.

Janet (Frome) (Frome)

I have always loved reading but work pressures restricted the time available to get into a good book! Since I recently retired I think joining a book club would give me the motivation to read more varied books and share opinions with a group of people with different persoectives I would also enjoy that social connection I enjoy a variety of genres but particularly enjoy literary & historical fiction and autobiographies

Janet (Frome) recommends:

Demon Copperhead

by Barbara Kingsolver | Buy this book

Very intense and thought provoking book. Barbara Kingsolver cleverly updates Charles Dickens classic David Copperfield and her modern social criticism echos the same issues raised by Dickens. Her hard hitting account of the opioid epidemic in the Appalachia and its impact on the main character Damon Fields, nicknamed Demon Copperhead, is often shocking and heart breaking Once I started reading it I couldn’t put it down.
