I've always had a love of books and find being part of a group enables me to read books I wouldn't normally choose - most of which I've thoroughly enjoyed reading. I live in Canterbury and am interested in finding a local book club

Trustee from the Toolroom

by Nevil Shute | Buy this book

Wonderful story, written in the 1950's. It's the tale of a regular man who tinkers with engineering projects in his London basement and ends up on an incredible journey.

Christine

I love books! Fiction, Biographies, Mysteries, and Histories but I'm open to different genres. I have lived in several countries and so am open to all authors. I've lived in the UK for five years now and it's time to get my nose out of a book and enjoy the lovely benefits of a book club.

Beth

Hello I’m 25yo and I’ve recently moved to Canterbury. Looking to be part of a social book club in the area, and I’m open to reading a wide variety of books!

Graham

28, hoping to get back into reading and talk with some new people. I mostly read fiction, particularly fantasy, sci fi and a bit of romance. Anything with an engaging world and a narrative that sucks me in, with likeable or relatable characters. Would love to learn about some new books and authors and discuss.

Guards! Guards!

by Terry Pratchett | Buy this book

My favourite discworld book, amazing world building, likeable and engaging characters and a pleasant but entertaining plot

Graham

28, read a lot as a child/teenager and want to find more time for it. Only really read fiction, mostly fantasy and sci-fi, anything with an engaging world and narrative that sucks me in. Want to talk with people who have similar interests to discuss books we enjoy and maybe learn some new authors / series to try

Friendly, outgoing, retired (headteacher) who is trying to get into his reading looking for a friendly, down--earth group who’s enthusiasm can rub off on him

Alec

I am 21, my main genre interest currently is fantasy but I do read many genres. I wanna find people around my age who also like reading the same sort of books as me and live in a similar area.

The Novice (Summoner book one)

by Taran Matharu | Buy this book

This book is aimed more toward young teens but I personally loved it, it has demons and an academy and some very interesting characters and plots. would definitely recommend!

The Shadow Keepers

by Marisa Noelle | Buy this book

This book is set at a Mental Health Hospital and the main character is sent there because she has a fear of mirrors/reflection but there is something far more alarming happening in the hospital.

The Night She Disappeared

by Lisa Jewell | Buy this book

The suspense and the way it immediately hooks you in.

Suzie

I moved to Chartham close to Canterbury around 18 months ago. I love reading and when you find a fantastic book you just want to share your experience with others and so to find a group of people with that same passion would be amazing. I read all kinds of genres and can lose entire days engrossed in a new book, I’d like to meet others who do the same.

Sarah

Hi, I'm Sarah and I've recently moved to Canterbury from Germany for my Masters study programme. I found my love of reading quite early as my mum worked in a bookshop. There I also started reading different genres and realised that some books I wouldn't have chosen myself are my favourites, so I'm currently lokling for a book club and of course to meet some nice people.

Hilary

I am a keen reader, and read quite a variety - some literary fiction and detective fiction. I would love to join the book group as I enjoy discussing books I have read with other people. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

Stompy5x5

I'm currently reading Lee Child Killing Floor and definitely plan on reading more of his work. I've also read the Throne of Glass series and am up to Empire if Storms. I do also enjoy non-fiction books especially science related. I'm not a huge bookworm but I do enjoy it in my free time.

Circe

by Madeline Miller | Buy this book

The writing was very enchanting and I just couldn't put it down. It's a story I've never come across in anything else before and it gives a great insight on the Greek Gods.

Rebs

I am 30 and love to read, I moved to Canterbury a couple of years ago and would love to find some friends in the area. I mainly read Fantasy, Romantasy, Sci-fi, Dystopia, Monster Romance or Dark Romance but would be open to trying new genres! Outside of reading I love my Cats & Taylor Swift.
