Seeking a book club
Always loved reading. Don’t read as often as I’d like to these days but I still get the “I just want to read all the books” feeling as soon as I walk into a bookshop! :)

Mark
Seeking a book club
I'm a keen reader, who this year is making an effort to read more after a good few years where I barely read anything. I'm a kiwi/aussie who has been married to my English wife for 22 years (hence living in the UK!). I like books of all kinds, historical fiction or fantasy, or crime especially. Would love to meet local people to talk about books, or join a local book group.

Seeking a book club
I have to Beckenham in 2020 and love the town so much. I'm originally from Poland and spend 16 years in Ireland before I fell in love with an Englishman :) And the rest is the history. I got back to reading last year and wanted to meet more people locally to share the joy of reading.

Seeking a book club
I’ve always loved reading and my TBR list is very long; however, I’ve been going through a non-reading period for a few months now and I think joining a book club would help me get back into reading.

Beth
Seeking a book club
I am an Australian who moved to the UK 10 years ago with my family. We moved to Beckenham a year ago and I am looking to immerse myself in the community. I enjoy getting lost in books and have been told by work colleagues about the pleasures of being in a book club, so I have decided the timing is right. Kindest Beth Anderson
