I'm Mercy, a trainee Occupational Therapist and mum based in Basingstoke. Reading has always been one of my favourite ways to relax, learn, and escape into different worlds. Since moving to the area, I'd love to meet like-minded people and become part of a local community. I'm looking to join a book group because I enjoy hearing different viewpoints, exploring books I wouldn't normally choose, and sharing thoughtful discussions in a friendly setting.

I love mythology, fantasy, sci-fi. The more whimsical a world you can get lost in the more drawn in I am to explore it. Growing up I was obsessed with Percy Jackson and the Immortal instruments series. Looking for a small group with similar interests and to rekindle my love of reading.

I'm turning 27 years old soon. I've no money and no prospects. I'm already a burden to my parents. And I'm frightened. So don't judge me, Lizzie. Don't you dare judge me. :( Used to love books growing up but lately it's been hard to get into anything.

So, there seems to be a proliferation of people looking to join clubs (myself included) near to me, with a distinct lack of options. With this in mind I’m considering (underlined, in bold AND italics) starting one. I’ll list my preferences below and if anyone is genuinely interested please feel free to contact me via this site. Once I gauge interest I’ll consider (underlined, in bold AND italics) whether or not to bite the bullet and actually set one up. Feel free to include your preferences in any replies. My preferences: Once a month. In person. In a public place. Contemporary fiction (although open to ALL suggestions on any subjects). Round Robin of book selection. Book selector chairs the discussion at meeting. Errrr… can’t think of anything else at present. So please feel free to contact me via this site. My first reply will include my email address. Lastly, I can assure you all that I’m not a lunatic (and yes, I know that’s what a lunatic would say but what’s a guy supposed to do??).

Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm Laura, 35 from Basingstoke. Looking to get more sociable and join a book club or meet with people who enjoy reading. I am not very social but i am trying to get myself out there and make some friends along the way. I like romantasy and dark romance but also fantasy.

Seeking a book club
I’m drawn to darker, offbeat literary fiction — the kind of books that are a little strange, psychologically intense, or stylistically ambitious. I love stories that spark discussion and sit with you long after you’ve finished them. I’m not a literary expert by any means, but I’d really like to develop a more critical eye and dig deeper into what makes a book work. Mostly, I’m hoping to find thoughtful, like-minded people who enjoy both good conversation and the social side of reading.
