Nigel

I am an active over-60 man interested in languages, chess, walking and ... books! I read novels, fantasy and non-fiction. Never joined a book club and am curious as to whether I might find like-minded people in one?

Zoe

A 30ish y-o charity worker, mostly a reader of fantasy, but also a enjoy a feminist treaty, a gothic classic, or a dystopia... Actually will read most things! I'm looking for a small group that meets once a month with cosy vibes (the dream is taking turns hosting and bringing cake and/or wine!).

Zoe recommends:

The house in the cerulean sea

by TJ Klune | Buy this book

Set in an orphanage island for magical children, this is mix of fantasy and social justice, with a queer love story in the background. This is both funny and tender, in a lovely prose.

Kezia

My name is Kezia, I’m 31 and recently moved to Oxford from London. I am a secondary school English teacher, so I’m lucky enough to be able to share my passion for reading with the younger generation. I am really keen to meet likeminded people in Oxford, and a book club is a great way to do this, as I’m an avid reader but also very sociable.

Ladies Who Book and Brunch

A literary weekend escape where we discuss the book of the month whilst enjoying brunch. It's not just a book club, it's a vibe!

Igea

I have always wanted to join a book club but not had the time. I would very much like to join your group.

feminist, magical realism, beautiful prose

Konni

I like all sorts of genres. Lately I have been reading Native American literature. Crime novels are good too. I also read a lot of German books.

Declan

I mainly read fantasy at the moment. I'm looking to join a book club so that I read more books and gain exposure to new genres.

Claire

I am just some mid 50’s lady who likes to read and wants to meet other people who like to read.

Megan

Just want to try something new. Have read all types of books.

Ingerid

From Norway, just moved to Oxford due to a research paper I’m writing. Have always loved reading, but fell back in love with reading last year. In Norway book clubs are not that big so I have never had the opportunity to join one, but now it’s a part of my dream while I’m in oxford

Its the book that made me fall back in love with reading

Elizabeth

Hi, I am interested in joining a book group to both improve on and expand on literature in a informal setting, as well as being in a group with others also interested in reading.

Lorraine

Hi! I’m Lorraine, I’m 52 and I'm looking to join a book club to expand the breadth of the books that I read and to meet new people in my local area. I like non-fiction with a meaning 😊

Oxford Shelfies

Friendly new book club in Oxfordshire, reading a wide range of commercial/women's fiction. We're open to reading romcom and love stories as well as contemporary, historical and accessible Classic fiction focussed on women's stories. Open to all friendly readers, whether you're already a reading obsessive or someone newer to reading for fun, and everyone in between. Please email me if you'd like to join!

Andrew

I am an artist, in my early 60s, and have been catching up on some of the great literature that I never read when I was younger. From The Odyssey to Ulysses, plus powerful newer writers such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and beautiful classics such as The Great Gatsby. Also occasional non-fiction, political or historical. I would like to find a small group to chew over books such as these, to be introduced to some new ideas……and to have a bit of fun in the process.

Theresa

I teach English at a local secondary school and would love the chance to talk books with some grown ups and meet some new people!

Jojo

Used to belong to an amazing independent book club which totally broadened my genres and books that I would have been ignored. Love fiction but not a fan of science fiction or fantasy. I am an avid reader and miss a local gathering to discuss a chosen book.

Jojo recommends:

An emotional rollercoaster that left me totally wrung out to dry
