Seeking a book club

I’m 19 and have just moved to the area so I’m hoping to meet some people my age! I’ve loved reading since I was introduced to jacqueline wilson’s books as a kid and although I havent managed to read as much as I wanted throughout my teens, I’m now rediscovering my love for fantasy and anything with a good strong plot. I’m also a part of the lgbtq+ community so if a book has queer characters thats a big plus for me!

Looking for a book buddy in the Somerset area or a book club who I can share reads with.
