I'm Rhi, I'm 26yrs old. I like to read romance (light and dark) and spice. Easily influenced by all the books that are recommended on TikTok. I'm very much a hermit and looking to step outside my comfort zone and meet people with a similar interest.

Harry (Epping)
I used to love reading as a teenager, and now that I’m older, I’m hoping to reconnect with that passion. I enjoy classics, crime fiction, a bit of history and politics. I’d love to join a book club — even if it’s just a casual virtual meet-up once a week — to share thoughts, stay motivated, and vote on what to read next.

Itra (Woodford Green)
I’m an avid book lover who’s always ready to get lost in a captivating story. Some of my all-time favorites include The Alchemist for its timeless wisdom, The Book Thief for its haunting beauty, and The Nightingale for its emotional depth. I’m also a big fan of page-turning thrillers by Riley Sager and the emotional rollercoasters crafted by Colleen Hoover.
Sign in to contactRyan (Epping)
I am 22 years old and live in the Epping/Theydon/Loughton area. Having not read as much these past few years, I would love to get back into a good book. Mainly into historical, non-fiction and fictional crime stories, but very much open to other genres on my way back into reading. Would love to maybe start a new book club for all tastes of interests with others looking to be part of one too.
