Book reader 78 (Sittingbourne)

Seeking a book club

I've just moved from Suffolk to Sittingbourne. In Suffolk I belonged to a book group for a few years. We chose a book a month and read fiction, non fiction, all different genres were generally covered. I love reading books that I wouldn't necessarily have chosen. I made some good friends, another good reason to join a book group as I don't know anyone here outside of my family.

Book reader 78 recommends:

Odd Women

by George Gissing | Learn more and buy

It's quite incredible that this was written by a man, mainly about women, in 1893. There are great characters navigating a time when women who were not married had very difficult lives. I will read it more than once as there is so much to absorb.

Prophet Song

by Paul Young | Learn more and buy

This book is set in Ireland in future times. It's a story with a family at the centre. It is a harrowing story, and though set in the future feels so current. It scared me and educated me at the same time.

amy (Ashford (Kent))

Seeking a book club

Hi! I’m 22F, I used to be an avid reader but as an adult I’ve abandoned this hobby a little. I’d love to meet and chat to others and make bookish friends! I’ve mainly read classics and translated works but now would love a gripping story of any genre to get me back into reading more :))

Jenny (Dover)

Seeking a book club

I've recently retired & am renewing my love of reading. I don't know many people locally & hope a book club might be a good way to meet people.

meghanwriter (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

I’m Meghan. I’m 29 years old and love most genres. Fantasy and romantasy will always have a special place in my heart. My favs are ACOTAR, The Shepherd King duology and Caraval. I’m looking at starting a silent book club in Maidstone if anyone wants to join or help hit me up :)

Phoebe.E (Canterbury)

Seeking a book club

I am starting to get back into reading. I have dyslexia so have always struggled with reading but as I have gotten older I have got a lot better at it. I really enjoy Sci-Fi, Fantesy and Urben Fantasy. I am really interested in connecting with people who have a similar taste in Genres. I am 26. The town I live in isn't an option on here so I will just put the one closes

GreenWerewolf (Ashford (Kent))

Seeking a book club

I have loved reading from a young age. I go through phases of devouring a book and then having a break before getting called back to a good read. I'm constantly distracted by pretty book covers so I don't dare wonder into Waterstones anymore. I also like finding a hidden treasure in a Charity shop. I currently read on Libby, a physical copy or I listen to audiobooks. Would love to join a Romantasy focused book group as that is what I read most of these days.

Kingdom of Ash
