A warm, comforting read.

Kate Kilpatrick

I have recently moved from London to Blackford Somerset (on the border with Dorset.) My nearest town is Sherborne. I'd be keen to join a book club and meet some local people. I'm primarily interested in Literary fiction. My favourite authors include Margaret Atwood, Hubert Selby, Donna Tart and Sylvia Plath. Anyone interested in meeting?

Emily

Moved to the area last year and keen to meet people with similar interests. I enjoy reading psychological thrillers the most, but dip in to all genres!

Hello! I'm moving from SE London to the Somerset/Dorser border (near Sherborne) and would love to join or start a book club and meet some local friendly faces. My taste in books is quite eclectic, but I'm more drawn to literary fiction. Books by Iris Murdoch, John Steinbeck, Margaret Atwood and Elena Ferrante are up there in my top twenty! I also love a bit of science fiction and fantasy but I'm keen to widen my reading list and have friendly discussions about books of all kinds, preferably over a glass of wine.

I'm moving to Sherborne soon and keen to meet older book lovers. Happy to hear about any book groups, especially those for older people.

Hello! I've recently moved to Sherborne and looking to meet fellow book-lovers and hopefully join/form a group! I'm someone who goes through phases of reading and then phases of not reading! But finding a local book club is likely to motivate me to read more and watch screens less :) I have quite varied taste - both fiction and non fic and I like keeping things fresh genre-wise. When it comes to non-fic, I enjoy reading about feminism, social justice, psychology, science, and nature. When it comes to fiction - it's really hard for me to pinpoint exactly what I enjoy. But generally meaty novels with a depth to their character analyses, psychological thrillers, drama, and I enjoy trying to diversify my reading list with international authors. I want to read more classics as well - I do love Thomas Hardy! Monthly meetings - either evenings or at the weekend - would suit me best.

I love getting lost in a good book and the escapism of reading. I particularly enjoy psychological thrillers and crime but happy to give most things a go. I’ve lived in beautiful Dorset for 4 years - we moved just before lockdown so I’d love to meet more like-minded people locally. When I’m not working I enjoy walking my dog, yoga, dancing, gardening and drinking wine😋. I’m interested in joining a book club in Sherborne - hopefully to meet once a month.

Is there a monthly book club in Sherborne that meets in daytime once a month or so?

MysteryLover!

I am totally new to Dorset and know no one! I love books so when I’m not with my children I read when I can. I’m looking to make friends and be the true book geek I am at heart!

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

by Gabrielle Zevin | Buy this book

I think it’s unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I’m a gamer or at least I was when I was younger so I absolutely loved all the detail about the industry. And it was so beautiful!
