A new group for people who enjoy books and need to make reading a priority for their own well being. Any genre considered.

Reader Ruth (Bournemouth)

Seeking a book club

Hi I would like to find some more readers to discuss all things book related. It would be great to choose a book to read each month and then hear other peoples' opinions after its been read. Looking forward to hearing off like minded people. Any age welcome :) I am in my 40's because we like to read too!

Rachelle (Bournemouth)

Seeking a book club

Hello! I'm Rachelle, 49 and a primary school teacher. I'm looking for a weekend book club that I can come along to, with a good range of ages of people and genres of books, mostly to meet new friends, but also to swap and share good books!

Betsy (Poole)

Seeking a book club

I’m 22 and live in Poole. My absolute favourite book genres are fantasy and romance but I also love classics and mysteries. I also love special edition books and spend way too much in order to have a pretty bookshelf. I would love some book friends to meet and swap recommendations with!

Phil (Christchurch)

Seeking a gaming group

Veteran wargamer looking for gamers in the local area. My current focus is the World of Tanks Miniatures Game, Flames of War, AoS and boxed games like Hero Quest. Keen to get playing Carnevale and give games like Horus Heresy and Legions Imperialis a go. I’ve got the new version of Star Trek Adventures but I’ve barely scratched the surface with that. I’ve also got a fair bit of X Wing stuff, Battlefleet Gothic and Mordheim which would be nice to dust off

Chloe (Bournemouth)

I have really been into my reading this year and have always wanted to join a book club! I’m 22 and have just finished my degree. My favourite genres are romance, thriller and classics but I enjoy reading anything! Would love to me some more reading friends xx

Dave G (Poole)

Seeking a book club

I used to be a keen reader but in recent years I have lapsed and spend time scrolling on my IPad. I would love to read more frequently and feel being part of a book club would help to ensure I read at least a book a month!

Seeking a book club

I love reading but have never joined a book club, I would really like to meet new people and share an interest, if anyone knows of a book club please let me know

Guilherme Levy Costa Cruz (Bournemouth)

Seeking a book club

I love literary fiction, philosophy, theology but also love a good laugh about silly stupid things and love to write though I hardly do it as often as I want to. I know, such is the stereotype.

Guilherme Levy Costa Cruz recommends:

Crime and Punishment

by Fyodor Dostoevsky | Learn more and buy

It's a book about the universal experience of guilt, deeply psychological, and so transcendent.

Demi (Poole)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Demi, I'm 31 and always loved reading but haven't had as much time to indulge. I like a lot of different genres but tend to read more fantasy, romantasy, and the occasional spicy romance novels. I only have a small group of friends that don't really read as much or don't read the same books I do. I'm hoping to find some like minded people to chat with about books, perhaps even expand my social circle a little as well!

Demi recommends:

The Book Thief

by Markus Zusak | Learn more and buy

Ever since I read this it has stuck with me. I love the unique spin on the narrator and the story following a little girl displaced to a little town in Germany during the world war. This is one of the few books that made me cry, it was so well written. I actually lost my first paperback and recently spotted it in store again and had to rebuy it for my bookshelf.
