I do not wish to join your book club as I live far away, I have written a novel based in the Welsh Marches which may be of interest? I can send a free copy if I have a postal address. You can check me out via my website: www.barriehaynes.wordpress.com

The Castledrove Shepherd

by Barrie J Haynes | Learn more and buy

It's short and very easy to read written in the present tense, number five in a series.

Dario

Hey! I'm 23, I love reading and writing - especially horror and adventure stories, but open to anything - and I'm looking to meet new people and make new friends. I also love the movies - I want to be a screenwriter :) Dario

Dario recommends:

The Martian

by Andy Weir | Learn more and buy

The unrelenting optimism of the main character is incredibly inspiring, along with his fun sense of humour, insane scientific detail and sense of adventure.

Tommy-Lee

I love to read and none of my few friends do at all, huge Lovecraft fan and honestly I could do with some help with literature and such. Pretty socially awkward just looking for some people to talk about books with and maybe make friends =]. Oh, I'm 21

At the mountain of madness

by H.P. Lovecraft | Learn more and buy

Completely changed my life, can't fit it into a few words

Elenareads

Would love to meet new people that I can share my reading experience with. In person meet-ups would be great to chat about our recent buddy read, it's a great way of meeting new people and socialising based on our interests. Always wanted to be part of a bookclub. I read almost any genre, mostly horror, sci-fi, fantasy, fiction but anything with a clever concept. 25 y old based in Poole ✨🧚

Butter

by Asako Yuzuki | Learn more and buy

It's 450 pages of slow slice of life, manipulation, feminism and misogyny, romance and the transgressive pleasures of food in a vivid and , sometimes, unsettling way. It is very character driven and It's not focused around figuring out the killings, it's a slow paced character development sequence. The author questions some deep seated Japanese stereotypes, more around women and cooking.

David

Hello, my name is David and I'm 23 years old. I am trying to get back into reading, and I'm hoping that joining a book club will give me the motivation to finish more books. I'm open to reading any genre, so I'd love to hear any recommendations. The most recent novel I read was 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, which I loved. I also like short stories. One that I read and enjoyed recently was 'Sweat' by Zora Neale Hurston.

Siobhan

Hey, I'm Siobhan, i'm 36. Recently started reading again and would love to meet up with others who love reading too! I'm really into thrillers, fantasy and horror but will read just about anything!

Harriet

Hi, I am Harriet and I am relatively new to reading for fun! I would love to meet a group of people who enjoy reading and have good recommendations. I like a mix of genres!

Madolyn19

Hey I'm Madolyn I'm moving back to Poole in October i'm 19, a big reader, i love all genres especially fantasy or some dystopian and I would love to join a book group to have a little community experience with it, especially some women around my age

Rabi

I’ve recently gotten back into reading after a long break. Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy books, but I’m open to exploring other genres as well. The only downside is that none of my friends are really into reading, so I don’t have anyone to discuss books with. I’m looking to meet like-minded people who enjoy talking about books and sharing recommendations.

Cassie

I'm 19 and looking for a book club to meet new people as I'm on a gap year! I enjoy mysteries, fantasy and romance but want to start reading other genres as well :)

Betsy

I’m 22 and live in Poole. My absolute favourite book genres are fantasy and romance but I also love classics and mysteries. I also love special edition books and spend way too much in order to have a pretty bookshelf. I would love some book friends to meet and swap recommendations with!

Dave G

I used to be a keen reader but in recent years I have lapsed and spend time scrolling on my IPad. I would love to read more frequently and feel being part of a book club would help to ensure I read at least a book a month!

Tim

Tim here. I read quite a bit but often feel I don’t get the most out of the books I read, so am looking to join a group to share ideas and to have a bit of a social. With children left or about to leave home I have more time on my hands! I live in Poole.

Unruly

by David Mitchell | Learn more and buy

Interesting and easy to read for a non fiction reader

Alex

Hi! I'm Alex, a 20 year old looking for some book buddies and friends to enjoy books together! I usually read romance and fantasy, mystery, crime and horror books, pretty much any genre as long as I like it!

Alex recommends:

The Lowest Healer and the Highest Mage

by Hiyodori | Learn more and buy

An FF enemies to lovers with great worldbuilding and characters!

Demi

Hi, I'm Demi, I'm 31 and always loved reading but haven't had as much time to indulge. I like a lot of different genres but tend to read more fantasy, romantasy, and the occasional spicy romance novels. I only have a small group of friends that don't really read as much or don't read the same books I do. I'm hoping to find some like minded people to chat with about books, perhaps even expand my social circle a little as well!

Demi recommends:

The Book Thief

by Markus Zusak | Learn more and buy

Ever since I read this it has stuck with me. I love the unique spin on the narrator and the story following a little girl displaced to a little town in Germany during the world war. This is one of the few books that made me cry, it was so well written. I actually lost my first paperback and recently spotted it in store again and had to rebuy it for my bookshelf.

Anna24

Hi there - I'm Anna, I'm 28 years old and I am keen to meet some other readers who love a good mystery novel, a cheeky holiday romance or a little spicy number! I am someone who doesn't have a huge community who likes to read, so looking to meet some people and create a little book club!

Amy

Hi I’m Amy :) I’m about to turn 32 and recently discovered Romance Fantasy books such as A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of glass. I’m looking to meet some new people in the area who like similar things. Please feel free to reach out <3

Chloe

Recently moved back to the area and would love to find a book club
