Nathalie (Manchester)

I'm 34 years old, live in Bolton, and am looking for like- minded people to enjoy books together! I love reading but have gotten out of the habit and would love to have some encouragement. My favourite genres are fantasy, classics and non-fiction (science, philosophy) but I'm open to reading anything really. Thanks for reading!

Nathalie recommends:

Tess of the D'Urbervilles

by Thomas Hardy | Learn more and buy

Ahead of it's time, couldn't put it down. Devastating yet often funny, I just loved it.

The Wheel of Time (series)

by Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson | Learn more and buy

One of the best fantasy series of all time in my opinion. Epic and gripping with rich lore.

The Bell Jar

by Sylvia Plath | Learn more and buy

A pretty standard book to say, I guess 🤣 but omg this made me feel all the damn feelings, still one of my favourite ever books. I read it for the first time in one sitting on a long plane journey. Bad idea, I was an absolute mess.

Hi, I'm 26, living in Salford. I've recently gotten back into reading more mindfully; now I can't seem to stop, nor do I want to. I enjoy contemporary literary fiction and narrative non-fiction, and I'm looking for inspiration; I have an idea for an auddiodrama that I'd like to populate with words and personalities and characters,

RKhatun (Manchester)

Hi, i'm 23 and I've been obsessed with reading my whole life! I love mysteries, psychological thrillers and crime books but in-between reading those, I like to unwind with a chick-lit/lighthearted romance book. I have also been loving reading general fiction books these past couple of years, specifically more emotional/sad ones. Some of my favourite authors are Holly Jackson, Jodi Picoult, Alice Feeney, and John Marrs. I'm looking to join a relaxed book group, to meet likeminded individuals who share my love of reading! :)
