All listings in Wiltshire

Jayne (Marlborough)

Hi, I read mostly murder mystery , crime and thrillers. Although enjoy other genres also. I have never been in a book club, so not sure of the format. I live alone, and it’s good to share.

Charlotte (Warminster)

26 years old looking for a group or individual who would like to discuss fantasy, sci Fi or horror!

I am retired and have moved to Devizes. I like reading, mostly not too high brow but will tackle more challenging topics. I do like a book to stimulate discussion and perhaps take me out of my comfort zone with reading. I’m looking to join a local in person book group who meet every 4 or 5 weeks.

The Marriage Portrait

by Maggie O’Farrel | Learn more and buy

It was suggested by a friend and I would not normally be have chosen historical fiction. The book combines suspense , politics, art and the limited freedoms of women in 16th century. The suspense element gives the book momentum, and the main character is portrayed with emotional depth and intelligence.

Anna (Melksham)

Just got back into reading (fantasy/adventure/thriller) would like to meet others for a chat after reading!

Josh (Salisbury)

Claire (Salisbury)

Hi there, I'm a book lover (just about to turn 30) who is interested in reading pretty much any fictional genre for any age group, but I do have a pretty short attention span ie. Usually gravitate towards books less than 500 pages. I'm a mum of two boys finding it difficult to meet friends, and would love to meet some fellow book lovers who would be free for daytime weekend meetups who wouldn't mind a couple of kids tagging along!

Jumii (Salisbury)

20 year old trying to get into the habit of reading and meet people along the way. Im going to be in Salisbury for a year so why not make the most of it❤️

Rich dad poor dad

I think it's kind of an eye opener where the book challenges our thoughts on money and how we make it.

Vera

by Elizabeth Von Arnim | Learn more and buy

The story is dark, 'comical' and moving all at once, which I feel is quite an unusual mix. I found it a real 'page turner' . . excuse the cliche.
