GGBVG

I moved to Gloucester a couple of years ago but have no book friends! It would be so fun to meet some other women who love to read smutty romance, fantasy, cosy crime, and the occasional serious fiction. I only recently discovered the world of romance that is KU and would love to make some friends who also indulge! Other than reading/ listening, I love going for walks with my family + our golden retriever, scoring things for my daughter on Vinted, and watching old 90’s movies for the millionth time.

Stephen

I like Dystopian and Sci-fi novels. I write my own fiction also. I would like to meet up monthly.

Mackenzie

Hi! I'm an American who recently moved to the UK and I'm looking to meet new people. I'm a 30-something mom to a 2 year old, so meeting once a month is probably best for me. I'm into whodunit murders, psychological thrillers, and historical fiction.

Jade

I'm 21 and I've recently moved to Gloucester and I'd like to join a book club to meet like-minded people and make friends! I like nature-writing, fiction, essays, and classics. My favourite classics is The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë, and my favourite book that I've read so far in 2026 is Fair, the Life Art of Translation :) One of my favourite book is Foster by Claire Keegan 😄

I studied English at uni so I am absolutely up for reading the classics as well! I’m open to discovering new genres too, but mainly I love to meet some likeminded people in their late 20’s/early 30’s that love to read just like me!

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keyes | Learn more and buy

It starts off with a story about Charlie Gordon who was born with a low IQ and is chosen to be a test subject for an experiment to raise IQ with it first being tested on a lab mouse, Algernon. Through the book we get to see him grow and change as he learns the world is crueler than he thought. He has a drive to learn and be better and it leads him to be smarter than even the scientists that put him though the experiment but at some point Algernon starts to deteriorate and the question is weather his will also happen to Charlie.

Morgan

Hi! I'm a 30 year old female looking for a book club or some people with similar book interests. I love reading horror, dystopian and fantasy, not a big fan of romance. Always looking for new recommendations. Outside of reading I love videogames and cats :)

Imtisal

We're building something Gloucester doesn't really have yet. A book club that's about more than just finishing a book. A place to meet people (16+) , discover new genres, share ideas, and youth who wants to build genuine friendships. Over time, the plan is to create different book clubs and events for every kind of reader—from fantasy and romance to thrillers, classics, manga, non-fiction and more. We are a startup so right now we're looking for the first people who want to help shape the community from the ground up. If you've ever wished it was easier to meet like-minded people in Gloucester, spend less time scrolling, and more time doing something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you. Contact me for details.

"...we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still." Lesson learnt!
