The Midnight Library

by Matt Haig | Learn more and buy

The story made me reflect on life and the choices you make.

Giulia (Reading)

I recently moved in Reading from Italy and I’d like to meet new people through a common passion! I’ve always been a reader and I mostly enjoy novels, romance and historical fiction (but I read pretty much everything that speaks to me )

Giulia recommends:

The Phantom of the Opera

by Gaston Leroux | Learn more and buy

One of my favorite of all times: moving, unexpected and a classic

Curlysue74 (Windsor)

Looking for interests outside of work and to share time with interesting folk preferably with some laughter in the mix. I enjoy crime / psychological thrillers, comedy and ‘learning’ books mainly but open to learning to enjoy other genres.

Jag (Slough)

Hi, I'm Jag. I enjoy both non-fiction and fiction, but I especially love getting lost in a new fictional world. I'm looking to join a book group to meet like-minded people, make new friends, and discover book recommendations to expand my horizons. A monthly meet-up would be perfect..

TimLaz (Reading)

I’m 28m looking to join a book club in Reading to meet new people and practice reading more critically. I mostly reading speculative fiction but I’m looking to broaden the kinds of things I read while being able to learn why I enjoy some books more than others and understand what makes good writing

TimLaz recommends:

A Little Hatred

by Joe Abercrombie | Learn more and buy

For anyone who like grimdark fantasy, this is a must read! Joe is a master of character and he’s on top form here! It feels very familiar to readers of the First Law while also expanding the world and exploring new themes in an age of industrialisation

G.C. (Windsor)

I would be described as eclectic. I enjoy all genres! I recommend A Gentleman in Moscow.

Sarbi (Slough)

Hi, my name is Sarbi. I am currently reading non-fiction but gravitate to fiction. I love reading and getting lost in a new world. I look forward to meeting like-minded people.

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!

Angel (Ascot)

I enjoy reading and meeting people

Rebecca (Wokingham)

Started getting into reading more and making it more of a hobby

Two of my favourite reads are The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida and Gideon the Ninth.

Bookreader199 (Reading)

I am a newly-retired woman. I love reading as a way to relax and now have more time for it!
