Book clubs in Bedford
Below you'll find every active listing we have for book clubs and readers in Bedford

Jill
Formed a book group in Bedford more than 30 years ago and it is now probably on the point of expiring : I am kind of ancient, but still read widely and prefer something that needs an effort , eg classics, literary novels, biography ,for discussion (read a lot of crime, etc, also but don't specially want to discuss this!). Looking at your listings, I wondered about Ndidi's group, but don't know where / when it meets?

I'd like to join a book club to expand my reading to books and genre's I wouldn't necessary be drawn to. Getting to know new people would also be great. Anywhere near or in Bedford would be good.

Ndidi
I've started a book club called the Reading Nooks and Great Books Literary Club (think the Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society) where we tackle some of the world's greatest novels over lively discussion. The group is open to both new and seasoned readers of world classics. The main aim is to share our love for literature and the ways it has expanded our worldview. In doing so, we hope to echo Francis Bacon's idea of the good life: "old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read." 📚🌼🌻📜 You can find the group on Meetup!

Josie
Hello! 👋 I’m Josie, in my 20s, based near Shefford and love reading romance, crime/thrillers, and self-improvement books, though I’m open to all genres! I’d love to join a book club to meet new people and share great reads. Let me know if there’s a group I can join, or feel free to drop me a message if you’d like to chat about books in person over a cup of tea! 😊

I love reading and sharing a good book. A good classic, romance, crime or adventure story is for me. I’m less interested in sci-fi and fantasy.
