Jessica (Bracknell)

Hi my name's Jess and I'm 29, just looking to see if I can make some friends and talk about books and get some great recommendations really! I love fantasy, romance and thriller, I usually read fiction books!

Sarkar (Reading)

I’m a bookworm. Reading is my one of the hobbies. And being in Reading , if I don’t read, it’s a shame.. isn’t it?? Looking for a partner with whom I can discuss understand about our same topic of books.

Lucy (Reading)

I’m 28, just moved into Reading area from London and looking to make some new girl friends! I’m super easy going, love to read dark romances, but also like rom-coms and Romantasy books :) currently reading the Emily McIntire’s Twisted from her Never After Series. Happy to meet whenever, quite flexible honestly. Lets talk!

Lucy recommends:

Hooked

by Emily McIntire | Learn more and buy

The realistic twist the author put on a classic Disney story is absolutely brilliant and highly recommend this whole series!

Freya (Reading)

Hey! I’m Freya, I’m 19 and I have been wanting to join a book community for quite some time. I love books, especially detective stories or depraved literature, and always wanted to be part of a book club in school but just felt too shy to step out of my comfort zone. I’m looking for a group of people aged 18 and over as I’d like to broaden my social circle and hear from lots of different age groups.

Freya recommends:

The Secret Place

by Tana French | Learn more and buy

I love French’s centralisation of Dublin and her highly visual style that engrosses you in to the world of the Murder Squad series. However, I enjoyed this book the most as it presented the kinship between a group of young girls as almost magical in a way that resonated with me so much, increased by an actual supernatural element she involves that draws them closer. I would recommend to anyone even if they’re not in to detective novels, as I believe it’s accessible to people that are interested in lots of different genres.

Msh22 (Bracknell)

I am 23yr woman who is an avid reader. I enjoy any genre and am open to a wide range of books. Some of my favourite books include the overstory, the priory of the orange tree, and women who run with the wolves. I would love to find a regular book club to discuss with people who share the same passion and make some friends!

Msh22 recommends:

The overstory

by Richard Powers | Learn more and buy

If you like nature and the idea of everything being interwoven, this is a story for you.

Alksreads (Slough)

Any

Roshni (Reading)

Hi I'm Roshni and 21 years old, living in central Reading. My current favourite genres are science-fiction, historical and political fiction. I appreciate diverse perspectives and interpretations of books I've read - and I'd love to join a book club and discuss my experiences!

Roshni recommends:

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keyes | Learn more and buy

The form of story-telling is engrossing - we follow the main character through a life-changing event that is reflected not only in his experiences, but also the author's style of writing.

Half of A Yellow Sun

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | Learn more and buy

Beautiful plot, and very educative. The characters and events envoked such strong feelings for me, and although it is a (very) long read - I completed it in 3 sittings, it's absolutely riveting.

SteampunkGal (Reading)

Hi, I've been in a bit of a reading rut recently but have been getting back into it over the last year. I love fantasy and science fiction and would really enjoy meeting up with people to discuss. Am working my way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series atm!

SteampunkGal recommends:

Maiden, Mother, Crone

by Joanne Harris | Learn more and buy

Very reminiscent of old myths and traditional folklore, whimsical and magical!

CezzaO (Newbury)

I have just moved to the area and would love to set up/join a book club. I am not a fussy reader and will give anything a try, but I am sucker for a good fantasy novel or a murder mystery/thriller.

CezzaO recommends:

The Eyre Affair

by Jasper Fforde | Learn more and buy

It is a hilarious alternative version of the UK, with literary nods to the greats round every corner. Park action/adventure, part magical realism.

Pedro (Ascot)

aspiring author

Pedro recommends:

Uncle Chris's Collection of Short Stories

by P.Frost | Learn more and buy

Great collection of ten minute read mystery stories each with a twist. You are challenged to work out the twist as you read them. Great fun.

Uncle Chris's Second Collection of Short Storiesis

by p frost | Learn more and buy

A collection of 15 great ten-minute-read short mystery stories, each one has a twist at the end and I like the tag line "get the twist before the twist gets you".

Ktewaz (Reading)

I’m a thriller gal through and through!

CY (Ascot)

I’d like to join a group to read about Austrian economics, philosophy and history.

jennyf (Reading)

I love non fiction and fiction. I especially like the classics

Wanderer (Bracknell)

Used to love disappearing into a book. Life happened and now looking to get back into it

Mollyreading (Reading)

I’ve just moved to Reading and would love to meet some people!! I really enjoy reading, the gym & socialising. I’d read anything tbh- used to be all about the classics but more recently got my teeth into fantasy (ACOTAR, TOG, etc)

Mollyreading recommends:

The Names

by Florence Knapp | Learn more and buy

A fresh style of writing, tackling difficult topics with great care. Incredible read

Hannahreads (Bracknell)

Im 24 years old, love reading romance and philosophy. Would love to find likeminded people to talk about books with!

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!

KatyJ287 (Wokingham)

I am looking for a book club in Wokingham that meets on a Monday or Wednesday evening. I love reading and am happy to try any book!

Zoe (Newbury)

I have recently rediscovered my love of reading. I really enjoy romance and fantasy books as a little escape from a busy life.

Carley G (Wokingham)

I am 46 year old and have lived in Wokingham for 2 years, I still do not know anyone and would like to meet other people and connect with. I completed a Counselling Psychology Degree in 2023 so I am interested in Psychology, but my lack of enthusiasm for reading holds me back. I used to love reading books but struggle to stick to one now. I found out that I have ADHD so my short term memory is not great and I find forgetting information that I have learnt is easy to do. So I would like to get back into reading and train my brain as well as meeting new people and hoping to make new friends. I am currently lacking in confidence and I am quite shy at first but grow more confident the more I socialise. Thank you
