Abi

In my mid 20's and trying to be more social and expand my reading to both fiction and non fiction, keen to meet new people and talk all things books. Currently diving to get into romantasy but i am a massive Agatha Christie fan (I love a whodunnit) and open to all genres and tropes.

Abi recommends:

This Is How You Lose the Time War
by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone | Buy this book
It is different to my usual reads but i love it especially considering for how short it is it packs a punch that i absolutely loved. The love story woven across time, place and worlds is created with so much care and charm that i love chasing and being chased with Blue and Red.

Aaron

Huge bibliophile, mainly reading a lot of fantasy and sci-fi at the moment, but my collection and taste spans from classics, magical realism, dystopian and everything in between. Just wanting to get a feel for whether there's any book groups near/in Basingstoke and what genres seem to be popular.

FranklyStein

A lifelong book lover with a passion for historical fiction, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy. I enjoy immersive storytelling, rich world-building, and thought-provoking narratives that stay with you long after the last page. Some of my all-time favorites include The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Always looking to connect with like-minded readers who love deep discussions, new book recommendations, and the occasional debate over the best (or worst) adaptations. Let’s talk books!

FranklyStein recommends:

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
Pillars of the Earth
by Ken Follett | Buy this book
Pillars of the Earth is an epic blend of history, drama, and ambition, featuring rich medieval detail, complex characters, and a gripping story of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of a grand vision.

I'm 26 and wish to find like-minded, book loving friends in my area. I'm an introvert by nature but connecting with people who have similar interests like reading will certainly help to bring me out of my shell. I love all kinds of fiction including romance, historical fiction & fantasy.

Emily recommends:

The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods
The Lost Bookshop
by Evie Woods | Buy this book
I couldn’t put this book down. Combined two of my favourite things - multiple povs and set in different time periods! Balanced darker themes, wit and magical realism really well. The short chapters certainly made it a page turner.

Hey, I am a big reader, I read everyday as part of my routine and looking for a book club, a group of people where we can read the same book and talk about it. It's so hard reading a great book and not having anyone to talk about it with.
