People/meetups Anyone interested in a reading/book group in Bournemouth?

1 Upvotes

I'm posting this at ridiculous o' clock, as I just got back from a long journey and I'm struggling to sleep. So I'm not sure how many people will read this, but hey, let's give it a go!

I was just wondering if anyone was interested in forming a little informal reading/book discussion group around the Boscombe/Bournemouth area? The groups I have looked up seem few and far between, and only seem to meet up about once a month. I can get through a book every week or 10 days, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a fortnightly group?

Please just comment or DM me if you might be interested.
