Jaynie

My name is Jayne, I have always loved reading from a young age, I like the idea of reading books that other people find interesting and recommend, when I read the back of a book to get the idea of the story it has to grab my attention if it doesn’t I don’t read it but I have been told persevere and see what happens, I am interested to know what other readers think and talking about a book with other people interests me me as well.

Jayne

I am 69 yrs, recently moved back to Kent, I have always loved reading, go through stages of reading for a period of time, then stop, then pick up again, I am finding recently I pick books that sound interesting but once I start reading they aren’t so much anymore, I have also picked books that are ‘easy reading’ but I think my tastes is changing, I would like to know from other readers books they find interesting and can recommend, I am open to giving any type of book a try!

Katy

I’m Katy, 32 years old and love reading thriller/crime books, although I’m open to reading other books (currently reading The Midnight Library). My favourite author is Freida McFadden. I’d love to join a book club local to Ashford, happy to drive out to nearby towns and meet like minded people and be able to chat about books!

amy

Hi! I’m 22F, I used to be an avid reader but as an adult I’ve abandoned this hobby a little. I’d love to meet and chat to others and make bookish friends! I’ve mainly read classics and translated works but now would love a gripping story of any genre to get me back into reading more :))

GreenWerewolf

I have loved reading from a young age. I go through phases of devouring a book and then having a break before getting called back to a good read. I'm constantly distracted by pretty book covers so I don't dare wonder into Waterstones anymore. I also like finding a hidden treasure in a Charity shop. I currently read on Libby, a physical copy or I listen to audiobooks. Would love to join a Romantasy focused book group as that is what I read most of these days.
