Katie (Newmarket)

I’m in my 20s, enjoy reading and am also looking to meet people in the local area.

HDB (Beccles)

I live near Bungay and work from home. I'm an avid reader but tend to stay within fairly limited genres. I was in a book club before I moved here and miss the chats and variety of books.

Rosie (Sudbury)

Hi! I’m 26 and looking to meet some new people who enjoy reading as much as I do. I love reading all sorts of books but I’m currently reading mostly contemporary romance and romantasy. Always looking for new recommendations and books to try and it would be great to have a regular space to have coffee, talk about recent reads and share recommendations :)

purpled0ve (Ipswich)

Hello! I love reading fantasy but haven't really got much motivation right now! Im 20 and looking for friends to motivate and discuss books with:)

Emma (Lowestoft)

Looking for a book club in South Lowestoft ideally. I work so need to be an evening or weekend group. Nothing too serious but want to get back into reading and need some structured suggestion and encouragement 😊

Valentin Sebastian (Newmarket)

Hello , It's heart-warming to see a place such as this. My name is Valentine and I've been reading for the better part of 4 years. Personally I I'm fascinated by Self Improvement books and I am open to different genres granted it's a good read. I'm looking to connect with more readers and talk about the different books we've read and what we think of them. Looking forward to speaking with you all.

Ellora (Ipswich)

I'm Ellora (25F), recently moved to Ipswich for work (but based primarily in Chelmsford) and would love to join a book club near either place (or just meet up with people/start one!). I'm just getting back into reading and tend to go for either non-fiction or horror/thriller/romantasy fiction, but I'll read anything!

LauraC (Aldeburgh)

I like reading nature books most of all but I am open to exploring more fiction

Cavan (Saxmundham)

I am a recently retired banker. I live with my wife north of Framlingham. Love to read for example Evelyn Waugh, Anthony Powell, Muriel Spark, Robert Graves, Molly Kean, also English and American classics and Russian and French authors in translation, plus poetry. Anyone nearby with similar interests?

Freya (Ipswich)

Hi! I'm 23 and moving home after university, having studied literature and creative writing! I love literary fiction and I'm looking to make some new friends

Freya recommends:

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

by Ocean Vuong | Learn more and buy

It's such a beautiful and lyrical read that really moved me when I first read it, and I still love it no matter how many rereads

Brooke (Ipswich)

Hello, I have a superb book for book club readers.....its on Amazon 9798254021070 It is my very true story, of becoming embroiled with a psychopath when I was a psychology student, which led to 8 years of my endeavours to fix him, thereby having the perfect man. We travelled over seas to exotic islands on his boat, purchased by a wealthy widow woman.....the story is very gripping, and carries messages for women on how you can ovetcome abuse, and other psychotic behaviours, and even survive strangulation at sea.....it makes a really good discussion, lots of gritty and questions about 'why did she stay' I don't think any reader would be disappointed. Sue 07788 410431

Relaxwithabook08 (Lowestoft)

I have a very busy work and home life, but have always loved reading (so relaxing) and would like to do more of it and maybe share recommendations and discuss over a drink/cup of tea/walk.

The book of beginnings

by Sally Page | Learn more and buy

Heart warming.

Ruth McLoughlin (Ipswich)

Recently retired from a life in education and ready to share my passion for great literature

Ruth McLoughlin recommends:

The Pickwick Papers

by Charles Dickens | Learn more and buy

It is a great picaresque laugh-out-loud work which also manages to be socially relevant on typical Dickensian themes of poverty, crime and punishment, hypocrisy

Adam (Mildenhall)

Looking to meet some like-minded people and make some friends. Quite an eclectic reader, from modern literary fiction to sci-fi, fantasy and classics. Would like to join or start a book club.

Adam recommends:

The Once and Future King

by T.H. White | Learn more and buy

Starts as very much a childrens/YA book but becomes an exploration of chivalric love, pre- and post-war politics, fascism and more.

Infinite Jest

by David Foster Wallace | Learn more and buy

Hard work, but rewards persistence when it all starts to unfold. Put aside a couple of months, and possibly a notebook and pen, to work through it.

Niamh (Newmarket)

In my 20s, would love to meet new people and talk about romance / thriller books

Red Lodge Book Club, Suffolk (Newmarket)

We meet once a month (usually the first Friday) to discuss a great read, share recommendations, and enjoy good company. Whether you're a bookwork or just getting back/into reading, everyone is welcome! There is never any expectation to have finished (or even read, really!) the book, but you should expect spoilers. Expect lively discussions, no pressure, and plenty of fun - because reading should be enjoyable, not a chore.
