Katherine
Seeking a book club
I love reading and listening to audio books. I'd like to meet like minded people who have a shared interests in books and discussing our experiences of reading them. I'm forever nagging my friends to read or listen to books I've enjoyed to have someone to engage in discussions about the story. Since my friends are usually as the same page, pun intended, it'd be great to meet people who are reading the same stories and to talk about these.

Seeking a book club
I’m a retired ex English teacher with a strong interest in Literature, predominantly but not exclusively contemporary literature. I tend to favour what might be called ‘literary fiction’ rather than specific genres like SF or horror but I generally like talking about books and ideas. I read lit crit and poetry, watch plays, including Shakespeare, and films.
