Book Club

Looking to Join or Start a Social Book Club in Dorchester Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a friendly, social book club in Dorchester. I enjoy reading a wide range of genres—fiction, non-fiction, thrillers, fantasy, contemporary, and more—but I tend to avoid historical fiction and intense horror. Ideally, I'd love to meet every 2 weeks, perhaps on a Sunday afternoon at a cosy coffee shop in town. I'm also very open to making new friends and chatting about books, life, and everything in between. If you're part of a group like this or would be interested in starting one together, please do get in touch!

Rose

Hello. I’m Rose, based just outside of Dorchester. I’m 35 and am looking to join or create a book club in the hopes to meet like minded people, and enjoy a chat about books! I like fiction and non-fiction. I love books with in depth character descriptions and character evolution, I like books that have artistic details and nature based books too. I’m not a big fan of romance, thriller or fantasy.

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Buy this book

I read (and loved) Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell when I was much younger so when I saw a new Susanna Clarke book I didn’t even read the blurb before jumping to read it! Luckily, I enjoyed Piranesi even more. It’s got fantastically detailed, unique world building. A haunted house story from the perspective of the ghost, but not in the way you would probably expect.

What You Are Looking For Is In The Library

by Michiko Aoyama | Buy this book

Lots of short stories, each uplifting in their own unique way. This book feels like a love letter to local community and to human kindness.

Chloe

hi! i am 24 and a book lover who is hoping to make some friends! my favourite genres tend to be fantasy, thrillers and young adult but I am down to read anything really!

Alice

Looking to expand my current reading repertoire. Often read more biographies or science/fact based books and maybe it's time for a change!

Reg

I am a regular Tour Guide at the two houses of Thomas Hardy in Dorchester. I am also a member of the Thomas Hardy Society. I have recently published a book called Thomas Hardy Abridged about his novels and short stories, that is now available on Amazon. I would be delighted to visit any local book clubs to present an hour's presentation on Hardy's life and loves. No fee just the opportunity to meet other Hardy fans and of course to sell some copies of my book!

Skmfeatherpen

I love literary fiction/crime fiction /18 and 19C fiction and much more.
