Rob (Windsor)

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Robyn and I am an 18-year-old living in Berkshire. I have recently been navigating some health challenges that have kept me out of school and left me feeling a bit isolated, but I have a strong passion for reading and would love the opportunity to join your group. Given that I am 18, I would love to find out more about your sessions, availability, and how I might be able to get involved. Thank you so much for your time and for providing such a wonderful community resource. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards Robyn B

Amanda (Bootle)

I'm looking to meet like minded people who enjoy reading/nice people! I've enjoyed reading The Pianist, Thursday Murder Club, Weyward and The Lighthouse Witches in the past year after a fairly long break from reading. I'd like to get back into reading more again. I've never really read fantasy but I think I'd love it. My fav film is Avatar. I like themes exploring consciousness and mystery in life and in books. I've read quite a lot of books that were made into films and I enjoy watching films with a live orchestra too. I love stories with an underdog of any genre and seem to like books with a war or sports theme of this ilk. I've recently started reading feminist literature too. I'm 48 :)

Amanda recommends:

It was so immersive and I love stories with roots in real life. The characters were so rich and it was really moving. You felt for the young man and how he had to grow so quickly when his world is turned upside down

ElForNow (Redditch)

Nervous, looking to meet new people and make new friends through a shared hobby. Generally quite nerdy, I'll read most fantasy and am very fond of comics (though comic-specific reading groups don't seem to exist outside of London).
