Morgan

Seeking a book club

Hi I’m Morgan I’m 22 and I love to read many genres of books but I’d say my favourite is fantasy or Romantasy. I’d love to join a book club to speak to people about books and get more recommendations I haven’t heard of before! I’ve fairly recently moved to the area and would also love to meet new people!

ZJ

Seeking a gaming group

I played quite a lot of 5e a few years ago and now looking to get back into it. I live about half way between Bridgwater and Glastonbury and would prefer to find a regular in-person game, ideally on a weekday evening

Rachel

Seeking a book club

I've been a big reader for as long as I can remember but have got into a bit of a reading rut and would like to start reading a wider variety of genres. My go tos tend to be fantasy, historical and a splattering of pop science.

Matt

Seeking a book club

I used to run a book club when I worked for Waterstones years ago and I miss it. I stopped reading in recent years, laziness and playing too many computer games took over! I'm looking to reignite my passion for it.

Judy

Seeking a book club

Interested in being part of a group of book reading friends - meeting say once a month to discuss the books we read and others we like. Keen for it to be about the books. I don't enjoy gory murder or scary thrillers but am otherwise happy to try reading anything.

Elizabeth

Seeking a book club

I'm a professional woman looking to pick up the reading pace again, after a few fallow years. I'd read relatively widely through a previous group because we liked exploring and discussing everyones different perspectives and preferred generes. I'd like to be part of that sort of dynamic again, although this can develop over time. A monthly or approximately so meet up would suit best - slow reading and busy!

CaitlynB

Seeking a book club

I’m 24 and currently living in Glastonbury. The books I read go from classics to typical beach reads. Meeting up around crisps, wine or cupcakes to talk about these would be great.

CaitlynB recommends:

You Could Be so Pretty by Holly Bourne
You Could Be so Pretty
by Holly Bourne | Learn more and buy
It’s a YA dystopia that makes you reflect on social norms around beauty standards for women. Bourne creates an engaging plot while also commenting on the social pressures put on women to appear a certain way to men, other women and even to people in their close circles.
