Luke-xvx (Sevenoaks)

Seeking a book club

Mostly a reader of fantasy/horror/comics but I dip into crime (Joe r Lansdale) and non-fiction about animals & the natural world. Happy to come out of my reading comfort zone.

Robyn (Gravesend)

Seeking a book club

I’m 25, absolutely love reading, can’t go a day without it. I love a mix of all genres but mainly love romance, thrillers and general fiction. I love to feel engrossed into a story and new world 😊

Annie (Gravesend)

Seeking a book club

Part of my New Year’s resolution was to fall back in love with reading again. I love reading a (physical) book of most genres, from romance to thriller but also love a self-help book at the moment.

Amanda (Orpington)

Seeking a book club

I love to read ill give anything a try. I used to belong to a book club that a friend and I set up at my old job but as people left and retired it folded. Really missing it and the companionship.

Rosalind (Whitstable)

Seeking a book club

I’d like to continue to read classics or very well written books in the company of others who like to discuss in some depth the objectives of the author.

Milkman

by Anna Burns | Learn more and buy

A tense telling of what it’s like to live in a country where your freedom of thought and speech is curtailed. Not an easy read but one that can be discussed on many levels

Neil (Ashford (Kent))

Male, socially active and old

Fiona (Tunbridge Wells)

I love reading and am never without a book or two on the go! Am looking to join a relaxed and friendly local book club to build like-minded friendship as well as share a love of literature. I love all sorts and am always open minded to trying new genres!

Pau98 (Rochester)

Seeking a book club

Hi all! I love reading but struggle to find the time ti read lately. One of my fave things about literature is how it can bring people together and prompt discussions, so I think a book club could be a great idea to get back into reading often. Thanks!

Ragdoll

by Daniel Cole | Learn more and buy

It’s a great crime/thriller book. The plot twist and turns which helps for an engaging read. The writing is descriptive and allows you to engage with the characters.

PhilB (Dover)

Seeking a book club

I am new into town, know no one and would like to find a way to make friends.

PhilB recommends:

A Rebours

by Joris-Karl Huysmans | Learn more and buy

This is the yellow book in 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray'. It involves a French aristocrat conducting experiments on himself.

Christine (Canterbury)

Seeking a book club

I love books! Fiction, Biographies, Mysteries, and Histories but I'm open to different genres. I have lived in several countries and so am open to all authors. I've lived in the UK for five years now and it's time to get my nose out of a book and enjoy the lovely benefits of a book club.

Lotty, 36 (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

Saw an advert for a book club on social media, and thought to myself why haven’t I looked to see if there’s any book clubs in Maidstone before now! Have recently discovered Martina Cole, enjoy Victoria Hislop, enjoy a sarcastic sense of humour. Open to most genres but not a fan of fantasy / sci-fi

Joanne (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

Hi I’m Joanne, 32 yrs and have surprised myself by falling in love with reading. Mostly romance, thrillers or the odd spicy one are my pick 😆 looking to meet new people regularly with similar taste in books to share thoughts over a cocktail or coffee. Furry companions welcome

KatieX (Chatham)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Katie, 20, female. I love reading romance (especially sports romance), a lot of dark romance, a sprinkle of fantasy here and there, and self-development books. I'd love to meet new people who share these interests, and to discuss, read and review new books.

Jo (Gillingham (Kent))

Seeking a book club

Looking for a social book club. I love most genres of fiction. Particularly crime and fantasy. Be great to meet some new people and get a regular fixture into the diary. Three kids now growing up, so I thought it’s a good time to start.

Hello! Just moved here from London and love a good book and a great conversation about a good book! Would love to meet fellow people interested in forming a book club or joining one

As a man thinketh

by James Allen | Learn more and buy

Short and thought provoking in a world where "things and thoughts" can overtake you, it is important to make them count..

Sintia (Gravesend)

Seeking a book club

Looking to join a local book club. Love reading, especially novels based on true stories, but also crime, romance and history (there really isn’t a lot I don’t like).
