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!

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 | Learn more and buy

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

Kate

I'd like to join a monthly book club to read and discuss book's for pleasure, meet new people and share interests.

Anna-Marie

Hi! I’m Anna-Marie and I’m a big Romantasy and fantasy fan. I’ve been reading for years and did English Literature at uni! I’m hoping to find some friends that have the same interests and topics

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.

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.

I love reading and talking about books.

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

Petrus

Interested in English, Dutch, French writing in translation and original language. Originally from the Netherlands and keeping up with its writers, but long enough in the UK to describe myself as bilingual. And having some time in French, let’s add that to the list of interests!

Petrus recommends:

Grand Hotel Europe

by Ilja Pfeijffer | Learn more and buy

Fascinating insight into the decline of the West as it becomes of historic interest to the rest of the world. A great novel about art, Venice, love and crime. It’s all there!

Phoebe.E

I am starting to get back into reading. I have dyslexia so have always struggled with reading but as I have gotten older I have got a lot better at it. I really enjoy Sci-Fi, Fantesy and Urben Fantasy. I am really interested in connecting with people who have a similar taste in Genres. I am 26. The town I live in isn't an option on here so I will just put the one closes

JPea11

I am 14 and home-educated and enjoy reading fiction novels. I particularly like books that have a similar theme to Hunger Games. But I am open to trying all sorts of genres.

Rebs

I am 32 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, Thriller, Monster Romance or Dark Romance but would be open to trying new genres! Outside of reading I love my Cats & Music.

One Dark Window

by Rachel Gillig | Learn more and buy

Honestly this was just great.

Throne of Glass

by Sarah J Maas | Learn more and buy

This is probably my all time favourite series, I love the small details and how it keeps you on your toes. No matter how many times I reread it, I am always finding new things to love about it!

None Shall Sleep

by Ellie Marney | Learn more and buy

One of my first read of this genre and wow did I pick a good one. This drew me in straight away, and I don't feel like it gets anywhere near enough hype!

Connie

Studied literature and missing the opportunity to discuss what I've read in a friendly group setting! I also moved to Canterbury recently and am looking to make friends locally. I read mostly fiction, but don't mind dipping into non-fiction :)

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.
