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!

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!

JB

I love reading and talking about books.

David G

University lecturer. Broad reading habits. As long as it captures me in the first 50 pages !

Chatterbox Book Club

Monthly book club being held at Chatterbox Cafe, 9 Castle Street, Canterbury. We are planning to have an evening and an afternoon book club. It will be for affordable book readers ie books that can be obtained on Kindle or loaned out from the library.

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!

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!

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.

Hugh

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

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.

Andrew

I am an Aussie ex-pat recently relocated to Canterbury. I love a good read and am looking to meet with people who also enjoy reading to discuss books and get ideas for others to read. I read a lot of different genres (excluding romance) :-)

Nene <3

I’m Nene ^ ^ I don’t know lol I’d like to try join a book club while I’m here!!

Ella

Fantasy, romance, mystery Willing to try new things! Wanna meet like minded people who live books

Chatterbox

As an individual I want to be part of a book group but couldn't find one so have set one up myself at Chatterbox Cafe in Canterbury

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.

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.
