KB (Woking)

I love fantasy and sci-fi books, but looking to join a book club to enjoy reading any kinds of fiction books.

Bookclubhunter (Farnham)

Love a crime drama

39 years old and looking to invest more time in the things I enjoy. I'm also fairly new to the area so it would be nice to meet new people too and perhaps discover some books I may not otherwise have read. In terms of fiction, my favourites tend to be mysteries and thrillers, but I also enjoy fantasy/adventure fiction. I've been finding it challenging to commit to reading as regularly as I'd like to so I thought it would be a good idea to add some impetus by joining a book club and to chat about it with others locally over a coffee.

Marta (Camberley)

A regular Jane. Lattes, avocado toasts, compelling novels about serial killers, thrillers, a dark romance, and a touch of realism with non-fiction.

The Quiet Tenant

by Clemence Michallon | Learn more and buy

Everything. The pace, the slow revelations, the characters... It makes you want to scream at the protagonist, at the antagonist, at yourself. I had to force myself to put it down, on a daily basis.

Miah (Chertsey)

Hi there! Im 27 and looking to join a friendly bookclub with people around my age, give or take a few years. And near Addlestone and Weybridge. I mostly read romance, fantasy and thrillers but im open to other genres too. I’d love to find a group that’s easygoing, open to new members, and excited to explore books together.

House Of Salt And Sorrows

by Erin A. Craig | Learn more and buy

This book completely swept me away. From the very first chapters, I was drawn in by its eerie, gothic, and whimsical atmosphere , dark yet beautiful, like a gothic fairy tale. The pacing was smooth with no dull moments, and the mystery built gradually throughout the book kept me invested. And has a slow burn romance.

Frankie (Kingston upon Thames)

26, chemistry teacher and always reading something. Big fan of thrillers, romance, fantasy and romantasy. I love a good book recommendation, a glass of wine and having people to chat to about whatever I’ve just finished!

Sophia44 (Dorking)

English teacher whose passion is reading. Is looking to meet similar minded people.

Olivia! (Leatherhead)

Hello there! I’m a university student who loves to read looking to meet similar friends!

Lost (Sutton)

Hi I'm an avid reader in my early 30s usually reading contemporary, literary fiction, light mystery and nonfiction (mainly on AI ethics and data). I'm looking to connect with people.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

by Gail Honeyman | Learn more and buy

As someone was in a miserable situation in her 20s, this book was heartwarming and restored hope. It's beautifully written

The Course of Love

by Alain de Botton | Learn more and buy

Picked this book on a whim after it caught my eye in a bookshop. Its a discussion of love and marriage in it's long cycle. The format of the book is also fascinating with the narrator breaking the fourth wall to interject philosophical thoughts on the situation of our lovers. A book I would recommend any budding lovers who in all earnestness yearns for their love to last till death.

Joey (Morden)

Would like to meet up monthly, possibly in day. Read virtually everything, though prefer fiction. 65 years old (66 this year) book club I belonged to is taking a break so thought I would try something different. I have a mobility problem, use a scooter so would need to be accesible venue/toilet facility.

Rosemary Laird (Haslemere)

I’ve just published A Woman of Fortitude, my life story, and I would like to share it with my community. I’d be happy to give a free copy to local book clubs so that they can discover my story and to attend book discussions offering question and answer sessions and book signing.

To the Lighthouse

by Virginia Woolf | Learn more and buy

The composition of the narrative, the unmatched observational humour and pastoral tragedy

Karen (Weybridge)

I used to be such a bookworm but I've somehow gotten out of the habit over the years. I'd like to take up reading again and, considering I'm relatively new to the area, woud like to share my experience of reading with others local to me. I live in Addlestone but anywhere within a 7 mile radius would be great.

Fran (Kingston upon Thames)

Retired, literary sort. Finding myself lonely in my 70. My brain thinks I'm still 25

Fran recommends:

Fascinating and beautifully written journal of the writers lifelong problem with anorexia.

Nancy (Leatherhead)

I am avid reader, love realist fiction, poetry, philosophy but will read most things if well written and engaging. I’m new to Surrey so looking to make new friends and join a book club as well. I like getting book recommendations from others, especially if the book has had an impact on them.

Nancy recommends:

A fine balance

by Rohinton Mistry | Learn more and buy

A fine balance does a wonderful job of making you feel like you know all the characters by the end, their desires, motivations, strengths, weaknesses and all the things in between that make us human. It’s also gives a wonderful context of India at a particular time in history.

BookReader25 (Woking)

I’m in my 20’s just graduated from uni and I love reading. I’m trying to find a book club that is friendly, reads quality books (not trashy!) and is not pressurising. Thank you!

BookReader25 recommends:

The Awakening of Miss Prim

by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera | Learn more and buy

It’s very cleverly written and captures the themes of literature, philosophy and the search for happiness through the life of one woman who moves to a small town, away from the modern education system.
