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))

Seeking a book club

Male, socially active and old

Fiona (Tunbridge Wells)

Seeking a book club

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!

JR85 (Sittingbourne)

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.

Rocknerd (Sandwich)

Seeking a gaming group

The last time I played (a)d&d it was 1994. I am now in my mid 40s and would love to play again. I have never lost interest in Ttrpgs and other tabletop games but as an autistic person it's hard for me to maintain friendships, let alone initiate new ones. That is not to say that I am not friendly of course! I am looking to join a local(ish) group for a campaign of D&D 5e - I am currently wrapping my head around the rules. I am also open to other games. I played an awful lot of Vampire the Masquerade in the 90s and early 2000s and loved that game more than any other, but I also played a lot of Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer FRP, and most recently (15+ years ago that is) Secrets of the 7th Sea. I am also fond of tabletop miniature gaming (blood bowl, necromunda, legions imperialis, etc...). I am also a fossil nerd, cabinet maker, Panzer buff and comic book fanatic... amongst other things 😂

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.

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).
