CallmeCordelia

I’m in my late twenties and have always been a reader but have recently had a very long reading slump. Hoping to get back into a pastime I used to enjoy so well!

Paula

I especially enjoy contemporary and literary fiction, and would love to find a group - ideally men and women of mixed ages - who do too! It's also great to discover forgotten masterpieces and the diverse viewpoints of other cultures such as Japan and Korea.

Stroud French Book Club/ Le Club de Lecture

We are a friendly and welcoming group based in Stroud. We meet once a month at the Amberley Inn, and it is free to attend. We read -and discuss- books in French, discovering together francophone authors and novels from around the world (mostly modern literature though we will read classics too and maybe even non-fiction!). Every month we read a different book and meet over coffee for an hour and a half. Details of the meets are listed here: www.frenchcentral.co.uk and you can also contact me at hello@frenchcentral.co.uk. If you are interested in joining us, we'd love to hear from you! :) Steph

Ab

Looking for a book club to expand my reading horizons, I’m in my early 30s! Usually read trending books but want to expand that

Mel

I'm 35 and work full time as a gardener. I love reading sci fi and fantasy, and would love to be part of book group of a mix of people that love reading it too!

Isla

Hi, I'm keen to join or start a book club and meet other book lovers! I'm also excited by the idea of being introduced to genres I don't usually read. Recently I've been reading Paulo Cognetti and I really enjoyed Ingrid Persaud's Love After Love. I also enjoy reading YA. The only thing I'm not very interested in is detective or crime novels. I'm very happy to host at my house just outside of Stroud.

Amber90

Hi! I'm looking to join (or possibly start) a book club as I'd like to meet other people who enjoy reading and also get out of my comfort zone when it comes to the types of books I read. Genres I enjoy include fantasy (most types), crime and thriller and I would probably be looking to meet about once a month, I'm local to Stroud but I drive so would be willing to travel as long as its not too far.

Heather

Hi! I'm in my mid twenties and moved to Stroud about a year ago. Looking to make some friends over books. I love fantasy and I've read every Sarah J Maas book, working my way through Brandon Sanderson. Would love any recs!

Steph

I run a French book club in Stroud. I mostly read fiction and recently started Leila Slimani's The Country of Others, which I cannot put down. Other books/authors I've enjoyed in the past few months: Feral by George Monbiot; Françoise Sagan, Anita Brookner, Bernardine Evaristo, and anything by Claire Keegan.

maisie

I’d love to meet new people and expand my reading horizons!

Liz

I've recently moved to Stroud and am keen to meet new friends here. Since I love reading and talking about books and their themes finding a book group seemed like a good option. I read widely but contemporary fiction/thriller/sci-fi isn't on my nightstand much, but happy to expand my horizons.

Isobel

I would like to be in a mixed age book group .. like to be challenged by what I read. I usually enjoy literary contemporary fiction and anything that expands my horizons . One of my fav books is Half of a yellow sun by Ngozi Adichie . Not really into sci fi or romance lit

Barnaby

Hi, I'm 57 and very keen on English and American literature. I recently moved to Stroud and am looking for a group with which to discuss books and meet new people.

Barnaby recommends:
