Cerys (Folkestone)

Seeking a book club

I'm a lover of fiction books, recently found a love of Sally Rooney and Kate Morton. But, I will read most books. What I'm looking for most is to share what I've read with others and get their perspectives on the book tol

Tracy (Belvedere)

Seeking a book club

I like to read and I'm looking for a group that meets in the Belvedere or Erith area. I tend to read mostly sci-fi or historical fiction, but one of the things I like about a book group is it gets me reading things I wouldn't otherwise look at.

Tracy recommends:

Troubled Blood

by Robert Galbraith | Learn more and buy

I just love this whole series, partly for the murder-mystery aspect (I never see the ending coming), but mostly for the characters, in particular the two main detectives and how they work together and are building a business and a friendship together around this work which so much to the both of them. You see that neither of them are perfect, they both make mistakes, but even through their miscommunications they work so well together and they do amazing things. It's really quite inspiring. So I love the series in general, but Troubled Blood in particular is a really nice example of all of that.

Invisible Women

by Caroline Criado Perez | Learn more and buy

This is non-fiction, but an absolutely jaw-dropping read, I recommend it to everyone. It looks at the ways that the existence and needs of women has been ignored when designing almost anything and everything you can think of, from products to policies. Really important book.

Sophie Marie (Margate)

Seeking a book club

I’m 27 and last year Colleen Hoover got me hooked on reading and before I knew it, I’d read more books than ever before in my life. I typically read romance and branching into fantasy- currently low key obsessed with Fourth Wing. Really I’m just looking to meet new people to discuss books with and share recommendations.

Cinemagoer82 (Folkestone)

Seeking a book club

Very much a non-fiction reader. Interests include colonialism, empire, environment and many other topics. New to Folkestone, so looking to discover new books and discuss with interesting people.

Josie (Margate)

Seeking a book club

I want to read more and to meet like minded people. I really enjoy quirky books that have me gripped. I love foreign books too such as African and Japanese.

Henry (Margate)

Seeking a book club

I enjoy reading speculative fiction (apart from horror). I love it when a writer pushes characters to extreme situations and sees how society and individuals will react to extraordinary events. I’m also keen to be directed to books that I might not have thought of reading. I don’t like a book to be overly descriptive but to leave enough space for the readers imagination to run wild by being presented with creative and unique scenarios and environments. Reading is a way for me to unwind and dream a little.

Emily (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

Happy to read a bit of anything - definitely a mood reader though! Love anything from the fantasy genre!

Ollie_0202 (Margate)

Seeking a gaming group

29M, I’m a meditation teacher/therapist looking for fun, kind, bright, geeky friends to play board games with (or with whom to play board games if you prefer). I’m especially interested in trying D&D but I’ve rarely played a board game I haven’t enjoyed :)

Anthea Mitchell (Maidstone)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I am already part of a book group and we are wondering if we might meet up with others from time to time. It would be good to see which other groups meet in the area.

Katielb (Folkestone)

Seeking a book club

I love reading but getting a bit bored of reading the same books. Thought a book club might inspire me as well as meet new people.

Quevedo (Gravesend)

Seeking a book club

I like reading fiction and non fiction. I love to learn

Bea93 (Maidstone)

Love reading, especially fantasy but also enjoy a good mystery or thriller. Always nice to meet some new friends!

Rebs (Canterbury)

Seeking a book club

I am 32 and love to read, I moved to Canterbury a couple of years ago and would love to find some friends in the area. I mainly read Fantasy, Romantasy, Thriller, Monster Romance or Dark Romance but would be open to trying new genres! Outside of reading I love my Cats & Music.

Rebs recommends:

One Dark Window

by Rachel Gillig | Learn more and buy

Honestly this was just great.

Throne of Glass

by Sarah J Maas | Learn more and buy

This is probably my all time favourite series, I love the small details and how it keeps you on your toes. No matter how many times I reread it, I am always finding new things to love about it!

None Shall Sleep

by Ellie Marney | Learn more and buy

One of my first read of this genre and wow did I pick a good one. This drew me in straight away, and I don't feel like it gets anywhere near enough hype!

Darcy77 (West Malling)

Seeking a book club

Recently moved to the area and have always wanted to join a book club! Love thrillers and non-fiction but would be happy to try new genres :)

Jen (Bromley)

Seeking a book club

I love reading. Recently have been reading a lot of non-fiction (predominantly self help/psychology/philosophy/spirituality) and I'm looking to read more fiction. Would love to find a local book club to join, for reading inspiration, and to meet other book lovers :)
