Nigel

I'm a retired doctor, author and painter based in Eastville. I've mostly read historical and literary fiction but I'm exploring new-to-me genres such as Sci Fi and Sci Fantasy to find authors I like.

Nigel recommends:

Fraud by Zadie Smith
Fraud
by Zadie Smith | Buy this book
A dive into what freedom means for women of a certain age and for people with Afro-Caribbean heritage, the scars and humiliations of centuries of slavery, the question of reparations. I still puzzle over the motivations of Andrew Bogle but I admire the way that Zadie brings him alive and articulate. A great novel much maligned or misunderstood in other reviews.

Nailsea Sci-Fi and Fantasy

I am starting a new book club in Nailsea that focuses primarily on sci-fi and fantasy novels. The plan is to meet once a month and discuss a novel we've all read over a drink or two. A nice opportunity to meet new people and discuss our shared interests in a relaxed and friendly environment. I would love to hear from anyone interested :)

Keen reader

I am a mother of 3 and my children have just started schools/preschool so I have time for myself again. I used to love reading before I had children and would love to make some new friends and discuss our thoughts about books over coffee!

To be taught, if fortunate by Becky Chambers

I have never read anything else like it. The sense of exploration and scientific wonder - and isolation from the world - is incredibly appealing!

We would like to start a book club in Southmead but wondering how we can make it accessible to people who would not be able to purchase a book every few weeks.

Hello! I have just moved to Bristol and am looking to join a book group or even just meet others who love books like I do! I’m a 26 year old woman and I enjoy psychological thrillers, crime books, dystopians, feel good books, drama’s, mental health/crime narrative non-fiction, and the occasional well written romance. My favourite recent reads are: The Book Thief, The Devil You Know, Romantic Comedy, Before I go to Sleep, All the Colours of the Dark, Daisy Jones & the Six, Room, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Give me an email if you think our interests align or if you have an opening in your book group? 😊

Emily

I'm a student of English at the University of Bristol! I would love to connect with more lovely people who adore books, especially those who read different genres and authors to those I'm familiar with (I'm regretfully unread in fantasy and sci-fi for instance). I also love writing and would welcome a connection with anyone else who shares this hobby!

Jazz

Reading is my passion-- I'm currently working my way through the classics! I've just finished Pride and Prejudice, now I'm due to start Frankenstein! After that-- though I loathe to admit it-- heading to Middle Earth (I'm 23 and I've never read Lord of the Rings, I know, scandalous). I would love to meet people who share the same passion for reading and, ultimately, make some friends along the way :)

Jazz recommends:

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury | Buy this book
It's a beautiful thought-piece that, to me, makes you consider the importance of knowledge and whether we take it for granted.

Rosie

Looking to join a friendly, smallish book club more local to the St Anne's/Brislington area, which is low pressure with some book chat and some general chatter! Into all sorts of fiction, particularly into thrillers at the moment but open to anything.
