Samantha

I’m a keen reader and writer with a love for literature, poetry, and mythology. I enjoy everything from fantasy and gothic fiction to darker, more thought-provoking novels. I’m hoping to find a friendly, welcoming book group where I can discover new authors, share recommendations, have interesting conversations, and, most importantly, make some new friends. It would be lovely to meet like-minded people who enjoy a good book and a good chat, and to have something to look forward to outside of everyday life. I’m happy to explore different genres and would love to be part of a group where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts, even when we disagree about a book!

Jordan

29M. A self-confessed Stephen King addict and a fan of all things thriller, horror, and crime, but I also enjoy a touch of romance and have a penchant for some satire, history and—basically, I’m open to anything! I recently relocated to Bournemouth and work remotely, so I spend a lot of time on my ownsome (mostly reading!) . I’m looking to join some local clubs and make new friends. :)

Dr.Aref

Indulge me, dear friends, as I share a glimpse of my character. I am a young gentleman with an insatiable curiosity and a profound appreciation for the written word. The prospect of joining a book group fills me with delight, for I am convinced that spirited discussions and shared insights elevate the reading experience, enriching our understanding of the narratives we cherish. 📚 Furthermore, I harbor a fervent desire to forge new friendships amidst the tranquil beauty of Bournemouth. Imagine, dear comrades, the joy of companionship as we stroll along the sun-kissed shores, engrossed in heartfelt conversations and the timeless wisdom found within the pages of beloved books. 🌊✨

Jacob

I'm 21, I've always loved books since I was a child. Although, recently I haven't been reading very often I feel if the right book came along I would get back into reading. What better incentive than someone's recommendation.

BookloverTea

I absolutely love reading and would love to meet others who do as well. I’m definitely a fantasy and sci fi reader but I am looking to explore romance and historical fiction. I’m currently in Bournemouth and would love to meet for a coffee to chat and get to know more about your fav books! I’m a guy, mid thirties and would like to meet people of a similar age ;) Summer is almost here and the gardens are in bloom! Do get in touch, I believe Waterstones in Bmth has a hidden coffee shop.
