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.

Logan

Hi I'm 23 and love fantasy mainly but interested in most genres. My favourites are The Hunger Games, Legendborn and Project Hail Mary. Would love to meet more people who are interested in reading books from diverse authors and books with compelling characters or world-building.

Lydia

I'm a 29 year old doctor working in Poole - I'm very keen to be involved in a book club because I love reading (stating the obvious!) and my Mum has been in one for donkeys years, bringing her huge amounts of fun! I read a lot of thrillers, a bit of romance, a fair amount of non-fiction, but I am open to everything really - sometimes it's the books you stumble across by accident that are the best!

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

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.

Beautifully written about humanity, love and pain. Set in India the main characters initially unrelated destinies cross each others paths. Thoughtful, provoking and will make you experience strong emotions.

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!

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

Jessica

Hi, I'm Jess! I'm 27. Looking to join a book club (and meet some lovely people along the way!), as I love to read and want to be able to enjoy reading more in-between my shift work. I work as a Nurse, so reading is a great escape for me. My typical go to books are fantasy, dark romance and comedy. Though I often try any type of book! Feel free to reach out and send me a message!
