Eleanor (Ashford (Kent))

Hello! I’m a 32yo mother of one, based between Ashford and Maidstone. I’d love to join or start a book club focused (very loosely) on literary fiction. I like Iris Murdoch, A.S. Byatt, John Banville, Barbara Kingsolver, Kate Atkinson, that sort of thing. But lots more too. Please drop me a line if you’re even a little interested!

George C (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm George. I am 27 years old and enjoy all genres of literature, particularly historical fiction and mystery novels. I would like to join a book club so I can be held to account to do some actual reading rather than just listening to audio books. I am based to the South of Maidstone but would be willing to travel further for the right club.
