I love to read around my busy teaching role. Would love to join a bookclub to discuss romantasy and romance books.

Amelia

I’m 22 and based in Cheltenham. I enjoy getting lost in a good story, particularly classics, romance and anything with interesting characters and complicated relationships. I’m currently making my way through more of the classics and have been enjoying Jane Austen, Waugh and Maugham. I’m looking for a friendly book club where I can read more consistently, discover books I wouldn’t necessarily pick myself, and have some interesting conversations along the way, ideally with a lovely social side to it too!

Amber

I live in Cheltenham and I love reading, a bit of everything really. Some fic/non fic, fantasy, romance, horror, witchy stuff, and the list goes on. I would love to join a fellow reader/club that keeps me accountable for completing books and follow up discussions to hear various views would be fun!

Grave Empire

by Richard Swan | Learn more and buy

It’s such a great story of a world on the brink of extinction but the politics get in the way of saving it.

Duncan

I’ve recently moved into the Charlton Kings area and have found myself with more time on my hands. I love to travel and read (often simultaneously) and mainly read fiction so would welcome the opportunity to socialise and to be challenged and moved out of my comfort zone by reading other people’s literary choices.

Alice

I love thrillers and historical fiction. My favourite author is Lucinda Riley. I’d like to meet fellow book lovers and ideally attend once a month.
