Caitlin

Looking to join a new book club! Had a fab one in London (we read food themed fiction and memoir and then cooked each other dishes from the book, 10/10) but living in Oxford now and keen to get involved. I read all sorts, particularly enjoy literary fiction, thoughtful sci-fi and some historical stuff, but have been known to read any and all genres

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

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
