The Secret Book Swap (Edinburgh)
The Secret Book Swap is a book group with a difference, starting with no set reading. Here’s how it works: choose a book you’ve read, enjoyed, and are ready to pass on to someone else, then wrap it up—keep it simple or make it fancy, there are no rules, the choice is yours. Think about how you want to introduce your book, letting others know why you enjoyed it and why you think they would too, but without revealing the title or author, as it is a secret swap after all; you might include hints like “a heartwarming tale for lovers of adventure” or “this story made me laugh out loud,” and feel free to bring notes if that helps. On the night, introduce your book to the group without giving too much away, then choose a book that catches your eye—or rather, your ear—and together we’ll unwrap our books and chat about our finds. Each time we meet, we’re joined by a special local guest, and we’ve been fortunate to welcome authors, poets, storytellers, publishers, illustrators, debut novelists, and international bestsellers, all sharing their own unique connection to books and stories. From book-themed parlour games to readings from banned books, we aim to make each event interactive, engaging, and memorable, while also creating space for community and connection, as we’ve loved seeing friendships grow through a shared love of reading and storytelling.

Snormac (Sunderland)
36 living in the North East - I love reading and I love reading along with people, discussing as we go. Used to be part of a book club for years, and I miss it terribly. I’ll read anything (doesn’t mean I’ll like it). Message me if you’d like to meet for a coffee, or if you have a group that could do with an additional person with silly opinions.
Sign in to contactEmma (Bishops Waltham)
Hello! I moved to Bishop’s Waltham about 4 years ago but my children are teens so missed out on building networks through primary school. I love reading and keen to meet others locally who might like to form a group to chat and socialise. Over the past few years I’ve primarily worked my way through booker lists and women’s prize for fiction long and short lists as well as reading favourite authors. I like history based fiction - currently reading Flashlight by Susan Choi Emma

Sign in to contactBigMan17K (London)
I very recently got into reading but find I love Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres a lot! Those and LITRPGs, although I don't know if that counts as a subcategory of one of the others. It would be really cool to meet people with similar interests and hopefully some great new recommendations.
