Matt

I used to run a book club when I worked for Waterstones years ago and I miss it. I stopped reading in recent years, laziness and playing too many computer games took over! I'm looking to reignite my passion for it.

Lucy

Just moved to Langport, I love reading. Historical, fantasy, classics, crime are some of my favourites. I'd love to find a book club and meet some people that like to chat books (maybe over tea or even wine!)

Malwen

Somerset based book lover hoping to meet other readers to discuss books perhaps at a cosy cafe ☕️ I love crime, fantasy, sci-fi and anything in between. An old favourite would be I Capture the Castle and a more recent favourite read would be Floating Hotel.

Patty

I need encouragement to read a wider range of books. I’m new to Glastonbury and looking for a few people to join me reading, discussing and taking turns choosing a new book!

Julia

I am interested in finding a book club group in Glastonbury.

Judy

Interested in being part of a group of book reading friends - meeting say once a month to discuss the books we read and others we like. Keen for it to be about the books. I don't enjoy gory murder or scary thrillers but am otherwise happy to try reading anything.

Elizabeth

I'm a professional woman looking to pick up the reading pace again, after a few fallow years. I'd read relatively widely through a previous group because we liked exploring and discussing everyones different perspectives and preferred generes. I'd like to be part of that sort of dynamic again, although this can develop over time. A monthly or approximately so meet up would suit best - slow reading and busy!

Paul

Old but still exploring Earth and the human condition. Enjoy company of all ages, books by the inquisitive, inventive, explorative, sensitive, funny, weird…meeting once a week in Glasto for yakking and tea

Paul recommends:

Maverick

by Ricardo Semler | Buy this book

A Community way of running a complex business/institution

CaitlynB

I’m 24 and currently living in Glastonbury. The books I read go from classics to typical beach reads. Meeting up around crisps, wine or cupcakes to talk about these would be great.

CaitlynB recommends:

You Could Be so Pretty

by Holly Bourne | Buy this book

It’s a YA dystopia that makes you reflect on social norms around beauty standards for women. Bourne creates an engaging plot while also commenting on the social pressures put on women to appear a certain way to men, other women and even to people in their close circles.

Toria V.

New to the area and love reading so this might be a good way to meet new folk.
