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 | Buy this book

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.

Hiiii! I am a 26 year old who has recently got into reading and I am interested in joining a friendly book club to make new friends discussing books and general chitchat, ideally around Patchway. I like all sorts from crime, fantasy, slice of life, historic.

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? 😊

I live in Fishponds. I love books, especially fiction, biographies, history, music. I'm well-travelled : London, Paris, Grenoble, Madrid, and others. Also, Africa and South America. I'm happy to provide my house as a venue for an existing book club.

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!

Jack

Interested in finding a book club in South Bristol, or in centre of town. 27yrs interested in real stories, historical or modern.

WhistleInThe Wind

I’m looking to expand my reading and make new friends

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 :)

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.
