Escape into Literary Adventures


Welcome to 'The Cotswold Book Nook' Reading Groups, your once a month escape for light-hearted book discussions, enjoyable conversations and a lot of laughter!

Join me, and fellow readers in Gloucester, as we explore all types of books. We meet once a month in independent cosy coffee shops and cafes at the heart of the community.

I look forward to welcoming you to one of my book clubs. 

My Bookish Mission

Hi, I'm Jane the Founder and Host of The Cotswold Book Nook Reading Groups.

I aim to create a welcoming and enjoyable gathering for everyone who shares a love of reading.

Once a month I host my two Reading Groups in cosy coffee shops/cafes in Gloucester, the heart of the local community. One group meets on a Monday morning and the other on a Wednesday morning. A new third group starts on Monday 22nd June 2026. 

I gently facilitate my Book Clubs in a way that makes all of my members feel included and listened to. I offer you a welcoming space where you can discover new perspectives, authors and genres, engage in fun and lively conversations and make new friends.

From April 2026, a small PAYG charge will apply to NEW members joining either of my existing groups or joining my NEW third reading group starting in June.

There are WhatsApp Groups for all Book Clubs to keep you up-to-date. There is also a private Facebook Group.

These Book Clubs are only open to Over 18's. 

Please explore the pages of my website (using the top right menu options) for further information, FAQ's, meeting dates, author talks, events and to contact me. 

What makes my Reading Groups different?

• We don't all read the 'same' book.

• 'You' can choose our reading theme if you like. 

• There are no costly monthly subscription charges. From April 2026 I have introduced an inexpensive monthly PAYG system for new members.

• You can read any format of book. 

• I run a monthly raffle.

• We always meet in person. 

• I arrange a variety of engaging bookish events. 

• My WhatsApp Groups and Social Media will keep you up-to-date with useful information such as meeting dates, reading themes, author events and social events.
