Hello, im 25 years old and i love to read. My favourite genres at the moment are fantasy and romance! I’d really love to join a book club to have people to talk about the book too and to socialise with new people!

Kataleeya (Bournemouth)

I love fantasy, crime, sci fi and more genres of books. I’m looking to find like minded people and perhaps make more book loving friends 🥹❤️

Saj (Poole)

Hi. I’ve been a reader all my life. I don’t have any specific genres that I enjoy more, just always got a book on the go. I mostly read books that are recommended to me. Books take me to different places, meet different people, learn new phrases and words. The joy of getting into a book and liking or disliking the characters can draw you in completely. Me, I’ve just become a grandmother and feel overwhelmed with love for this little girl. My life is full and happy. However, I’ve aways wanted to join a book club to discuss these great books. So if anyone would like an additional member or would like to form a book club with me, get in touch. Saj

Maybe In Another Life

by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Learn more and buy

Loved the two worlds/ sliding doors aspect to the story. How one choice can change the shape of our life. What ifs! Great narrative of friendship and relationships and how they form our lives.
