Hannah (Wokingham)

Trying to get back into reading and would love to find new friends to discuss books with and get recommendations

Natalia (Bracknell)

Hi! My name is Natalia and I’m an 18 year who loves literature and history, or combining both. I’d love to meet people to have deep conversations with about books and find recommendations and any friends along the way. Some of my current favourites are: The Book Thief, The Yellow Wallpaper, The Kite Runner and Flowers in the Attic!

Natalia recommends:

The Yellow Wallpaper

by Charlotte Perkins Gilman | Learn more and buy

A very short read so definitely worth while if you don’t want to commit to something if you’re unsure. Very psychological and disturbing with so many layered meanings and important messages. Victorian era feminism. If you like this short story, then definitely check out the authors novellas or longer novels like Herland, but this is a great place to start!

Tegan (Newbury)

Trying to expand my circles and be outside home and work more!!! Love to read mainly fantasy and romance occasionally a murder mystery and anything that peaked interest.

ReaderMC (Ascot)

ClaudiaEdwards (Reading)

Hi, I have just moved to Reading to start my master's. I got back into reading last year after losing my passion for it in school. I read mostly crime, psychological thrillers, and some mysteries. I also read some non-fiction books mainly on biology/health

Abhinav (Reading)

Trying to reignite my love for books. Like reading non fiction stuff on history, natural sciences and politics.

Alice (Reading)

Hi! I’m 24 and have recently just moved to Reading. I love reading fiction, thrillers, mystery and romance books and enjoy chatting about them over a cup of coffee. I’ve not seen any book clubs posted but would love to know if there are any in the area, so that I can meet like minded people to discuss books with.

Ayesha (Slough)

My current favourite type of novels are historical fiction with a bit of time slipping thrown in. I am currently re-reading 'The Forgotten Garden' by Kate Morton (who I love) just because January is the perfect month to start day-dreaming about secret walled gardens filled with ancient roses and apple trees. I also like psychological thrillers and clever crime mysteries and love books by unreliable narrators. Looking for a book group in this area because I think it would be fun to chat about a book that someone else has also read!

csaldanha (Bracknell)

Hi! My name is Carolina, I'm 25 year old and live in Bracknell. I'm looking for some bookish friends to meet frequently to discuss all bookish things :) My preferred genres to read are: romance, literary fiction and thrillers. Just recently getting into fantasy though!

LawrenceB (Wokingham)

I'm actually looking to make contact with local book clubs with a different idea in mind. I'm a local published author who is looking to make contact with any book clubs who'd be interested in having an author come along on a completely informal basis to give a talk or maybe a Q&A regarding the writing process, creation of characters etc. I'm not looking to promote my book, that is already being taken care of, I just really enjoy attending events to encourage and discuss how it is possible for anyone to write if they put their mind to it. Also, not looking for fees or publicity. Thank you

LawrenceB recommends:

Lie Down With Lions

by Ken Follett | Learn more and buy

I have read many books written by Ken Follet, but this was my first and I think it will also remain my favourite. I read Lie Down With Lions during a car journey and it was definitely an 'I can't put it down' experience. The tension in the final chapters as the Russian Army track the Afghanistan people across the mountains had me pushing on to find out how it ends. Also, the book was very informative with regard to the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, something that certainly resonates today.

Bookreader199 (Reading)

I am a newly-retired woman. I love reading as a way to relax and now have more time for it! I currently read mostly fiction - new and classics but am interested in recommendations from others and new genres. Would be lovely to find a local book club and meet some other readers in Twyford, Charvil, Reading or surrounding areas.

CharlieR (Bracknell)

Hi, I'm Charlie 19M. I'm looking to meet people around my age in a club or meetup who love literature and enjoy digging into ideas and conversations, whether philosophical, psychological, or just something we’re curious about. I’m less about nightlife and more about meaningful connection, reading, learning, and talking about the things that actually matter to you. If that resonates, let me know. I enjoy Doesteovsky, Dumas, one of my favorites is Madonna in a fur coat by sabahattin ali.
