Nathanael

Im 22 and want to make some friends outside the group i have had for a decade. Primarily interested in character focused sci-fi, fantasy and historical fiction. But try to get in some classics every now and again. I will read literally anything if the writing is good. Looking to meet up in person regularly. Other interests include: history, TTRPGs, old cRPGs, walking in forests, rpg game design, art, writing and carpentry.

Pinky

Would love to meet people locally who adore books and reading. I gravitate to non-fiction but also want to get out of my comfort zone! I'd also love to extend my social circle, which has reduced since working mainly from home.

Finding Sanctuary: Monastic Steps for Everyday Life

by Abbot Christopher Jamison | Buy this book

I bought this book after stumbling upon a clip of a TV documentary that was shown a few years ago. The author was in charge of the Catholic monastery that had allowed a small group of people to experience life there and he seemed so calm, reassuring and wise. I wasn't at all sure what to expect with this book but it was such a gentle and also practical little read. Not at all what people might expect! I ended up buying his other books, which were also great. You absolutely don't need to be religious in the conventional sense to benefit from it. It's more about finding sanctuary in this tricky modern world. I'm not at all a fan of 'self help' books, and I wouldn't class this as one of those.

The Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver | Buy this book

This is so evocative of the Congo, a really readable and yet challenging and thought-provoking book.

Heather

I’m an avid reader of a wide range of fiction and literature. I love to read and be recommended books outside of my go-to genres. My most recent top read is Barbara Kingsolver Demon Copperhead. I enjoy chatting characters, plots, and perspectives over a cuppa or glass. I’ve was a book club member in my last home in Gloucestershire and I since moving to Devon this summer I am now looking to join like-minded folk to talk books around Ashburton and Bovey Tracey.

Katy

Enjoyer of surrealism, magical realism, and rage books. I'm bubbly and always up for a friendly discussion over a cuppa!
