My names Kayleigh and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this year, my favourite genres being fantasy and romance, or a nice Romantasy if you will! I would love to find a local book group to join and broaden my horizons, not just with books but with people too!

Empyrean Series

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

This is an incomplete fantasy series, but it is incredible, it is what got me into fantasy and I can’t wait for the next books to come out. This series will make you cry, laugh and want to throw it all at the same time! Bonus if you love a little spice :D

Jo (Rochester)

Seeking a book club

Hello, I'm looking to get back into doing things I enjoy and reading is one of them. I'd also enjoy meeting people and building friendships. I work 9-5 in healthcare and my kids are adults now. I have lots of free time! Oh and I'm 50 😀 How does this work? Happy to share emails and arrange something as I can't see an active club for Rochester or am I missing something 🤔

Jenny (Tonbridge)

BookLover_Sarah (Ebbsfleet)

Seeking a book club

Hi everyone! I’m 36F fairly new to Ebbsfleet and looking to plant some roots. After spending the last several years working in the Middle East, I’ve finally moved back to the UK and am eager to dive into local life. My New Year’s resolution is twofold: rediscover my love for reading and build genuine local connections. I figured, why not do both at the same time? I’m looking to meet fellow book lovers and neighbors who enjoy a good chat over a story. If you’re a reader (or looking for a reason to become one again), I’d love to connect!

Adrian (Dartford)

Seeking a book club

I'm Adrian, 63, a keen reader of all kinds of books, mostly fiction. I enjoy genres such as social commentary, mystery and horror as well as spy novels, and I absolutely love a good courtroom drama. I'm also a fan of poetry, both classic and modern. Recent books include - The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Dracula by Bram Stoker, You Are Here by David Nicholls, and 'The Husbands' by Holly Gramazio. My all-time favourite book, is 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' by Robert Tressell. I'd enjoy being challenged to read outside of my 'preferred' authors/styles and I'd enjoy discussing and unpacking aspects and themes with others.

Adrian recommends:

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

by Robert Tressell | Learn more and buy

It's a shocking, alarming (and often funny) exploration of the lives of the working classes in Edwardian Britain. There are many topics addressed in the book that resonate today... the 'deserving poor' vs the 'undeserving poor' the self-serving nature of (some) politicians, the narrowness of available political options, short term employment and what we now call zero hour contracts, and the hypocrisy of the Church and other 'charitable' institutions.

Laura (Maidstone)

Hello, my name is Laura and im 34 and a mum of 4, 3 girls and a little boy :-) I love to read when I have the chance when our homelife has settled down in the evenings.

Rome (Rochester)

Seeking a book club

Late 20s, lover of romance, fantasy and any combination of the two. I also enjoy literary fiction novels and a good thriller. I'd love to discuss a book over a glass of wine and some nibbles.

Jaynie (Ashford (Kent))

Seeking a book club

My name is Jayne, I have always loved reading from a young age, I like the idea of reading books that other people find interesting and recommend, when I read the back of a book to get the idea of the story it has to grab my attention if it doesn’t I don’t read it but I have been told persevere and see what happens, I am interested to know what other readers think and talking about a book with other people interests me me as well.

Ellie (Sittingbourne)

Seeking a book club

I’m a 27 year old female in the Sittingbourne/Maidstone area. I love reading romance/fantasy but find it hard to get out reading slumps. Would love to meet with people who have similar interests and hope this can help me be more consistent with reading

Roses_97 (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

I’m Jess, 28yo and new to the Ditton/Aylesford area. I am looking to join a book club as I have loved reading since I was a child. Starting from Harry Potter and Narnia, up until more recently with Fourth Wing and Crescent City. I absolutely LOVE fantasy genres, but also enjoy a Frieda McFadden thriller book too! It would be great to join a club who shares my passion and meet new people in the area

House of Earth and Blood

The world building and twists throughout the book. It does start out slow but worth it.

Jayne (Ashford (Kent))

Seeking a book club

I am 69 yrs, recently moved back to Kent, I have always loved reading, go through stages of reading for a period of time, then stop, then pick up again, I am finding recently I pick books that sound interesting but once I start reading they aren’t so much anymore, I have also picked books that are ‘easy reading’ but I think my tastes is changing, I would like to know from other readers books they find interesting and can recommend, I am open to giving any type of book a try!
