Jack

Hello 👋. I'm 22 and have been reading sci fi (mostly Warhammer) books for a while and have decided to start branching out and want to read some more other genres. I absolutely loved Stephen Fry's mythos series, and have just started stormlight archives and am also really enjoying that. Would love to meet up in person, and am interested in all non fiction 😁

Hubris

I want to discover and read new books from different genres, i don’t get up to much these days so i’ve been obsessed with reading, my favourite genres atm are cyberpunk and dystopia. i am very interested in finding new good reads!

Claudia

Love reading! Would love to join a book club and meet new people with same interests.

Steph

I love reading, mostly books that I feel I can relate to, I.e life as an adult in your late 20s, romance, life choices etc. I love Laura Jane Williams and Dolly Alderton books but I’m open to other authors too! I also love reading about women in history! I’d like to be a part of a book club or just find a coffee shop we can sit in, read and share books. Let me know if you are interested.

Confessions of a Forty Something F**k up

by Alexandra Potter | Buy this book

You will get so invested in the main character and it will make you feel a mixture of emotions.

Turlough

Hey I'm T! I've loved buying books for a good few years but only this year have a really enjoyed reading properly! I love a good bookshop and I want to find some like minded readers to make some friends. I love drama, love and romance books. Normal People, Talking at night and One day are prime examples of the stories I like to read. Would love to chat and find some other readers to connect with

Dan

I like Sci-Fi (Red-Rising), Fantasy (Terry Pratchett, obviously LOTR), well-written History, and some autobiographies, but I can generally get into any book as long as it is written well!

Southampton Book Club Fantasy Girlies

Hi all, I am looking for like-minded people (not just girlies) to create a book club here in Southampton to hopefully meet face-to-face once a month. I have had a look around and can't seem to find a book club (out of maybe 4? I found) around Southampton with my taste in books. So if you also like: -Fantasy -Romance -Romantasy -Historical fiction -Adventure -A bit of contemporary or sci-fi I am hoping that we can meet at least monthly, discuss a book and share thoughts/ideas. Please feel free to join: www.facebook.com/groups/8823393134447588/
