Jessie

Charity worker, mother of 2, ex-teacher, loves travelling but doesn't get enough opportunity to do so any more! Busy trying to stay on top of taking care of myself and family. Reading is a great pleasure and I enjoy sharing ideas on books read with like-minded people. I moved to Hampshire from Bristol where I was a member of a lively book group and I'd like to find something similar locally. I enjoy historical and dystopian fiction, character-led novels, biographies and a range of nonfiction.

The Seventh Son

by Sebastian Faulks | Buy this book

A page turner, set in a near future that is very recognisable with well rounded characters, a wide-ranging amount of scientific and archeological speculation and an unsettling plot twist. Beautifully written.

Austin

I look for books that give the words to experiences that I fail to. I used to almost exclusively read nonfiction on mathematics and computing, but now I almost exclusively read fiction. I would like to make friends to read and talk with :)

There Are Rivers in the Sky

by Elif Shafak | Buy this book

All throughout beautifully written, and an incredibly bittersweet ending. I love this book, and I treasure rivers now.

White Nights

by Fyodor Dostoevsky | Buy this book

Puts into words and onto paper the common, but isolating, experience of unrequited love. I think everyone can recognise pieces of themselves in this book

KJG

Hello, I’m thinking about joining a book group as would like to discover new authors and read books I would not usually consider reading. I would enjoy connecting with people who share my interest in reading. I believe a reading group has many benefits as discussing books will help to keep my brain engaged, which may have cognitive benefits! I would enjoy contributing and listening to the viewpoints of others.

Hi I'm an empty nester looking to join a book group for interesting discussions about books and meeting new people to expand social horizons in or near Winchester.

Hamnet

by Maggie O'Farrell | Buy this book

Couldn't put it down. So evocative and beautiful to read. Completely captivating.

Louise

I enjoy books, and would like to try new hobbies and interests in a sociable way, also to meet new people.

Lessons in Chemistry

by Bonnie Garmus | Buy this book

It is both very funny and very serious.

Jan

I like modern literary fiction and the classics. I have recently moved to Winchester from Manchester where I enjoyed being a member of the book group at the Central Library for many years. The discussions were great and I made many friends. I'd like to be a member of a group here, meeting perhaps once a month.

I am very intrigued by the good old books and novels. I want to make friends who share this interest.
