Bella Bookworm
As a lifelong avid reader I am looking to join or start an in person book group to meet likeminded people with a passion for reading and even creative writing. My main literary passions are crime, psychological thrillers, character driven novels and social justice. I also do like to dip into the classics and a smattering of Gothic. I love Sabine Durrant, Liz Nugent, Kate Elizabeth Russell -but I could list forever. Please contact me if you have a group or are interested in joining me to start one!

Tyler
After realising my attention span is shrinking and I spend too much time on my phone, I've started to read a lot more and I haven't looked back since! I'd love to share the experience of reading with other people and see different perspectives. I just moved to Southampton, I don't really know anyone and I think a book group would be a great start for me to meet new people. I'm interested in reading many different types of books, especially ones that move me.

Got back into reading in late 2023 and now your rarely find me without a book or my kindle.!! I mainly love crime & psychological thrillers…. But am open to exploring authors and genres that I haven’t yet found. I would love to make new friends and share our passion and love for books and reading.

Shirley
I'd like to meet up with other readers reasonably locally. My passion is social justice so I appreciate any novel tackling these issues e.g. The Women by Kristin Hannah. But also love reading crime and psychological thrillers. More commercial than literary. Favourite authors Lianne Moriarty, Clare Macintosh, Robert Galbraith Strike series, Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series. I'm also a writer and run a writing group in Dibden Purlieu.
