Anya (Durham)

I'm 25 and want to get back into the habit of reading more regularly. I like reading a bit of everything but tend to enjoy fantasy, thrillers, sci-fi, and romance the most. Would be interested in meeting others, discussing books, and exchanging recommendations.

Barnetto (Seaham)

I’m Andrew, a UK-based reader who gravitates toward sci‑fi and fantasy with strong world‑building, clever systems, and a bit of oddness. I love stories that reward paying attention — the kind where you can dig into how things work, why characters make the choices they do, and what the setting is really saying beneath the surface. I’m looking for a relaxed, curious book club that enjoys thoughtful discussion without getting overly serious. This is supposed to be fun after all.

The way Anne is expressing her thoughts and that at the very young age of 13 years old is beyond my imagination.
