Pheasant101 (Bishop's Stortford)

I love reading and am lucky enough to (usually) have enough time to read a decent amount. However, I tend to go through peaks and troughs with my reading and would to have a reason to read more consistently. I love both fiction and non-fiction and don’t really have a preferred genre, although I am not into serious gothic or horror etc due to an overactive imagination! I would love to be able to discuss books with like-minded individuals, share recommendations, and enjoy good company. I am happy for meet ups to be tea/coffee and cake during the day, or wine and nibbles in the evening (both sound bliss!).

Pheasant101 recommends:

The Magician

by Colm Toibin | Buy this book

A brilliant biography written as a novel. The prose is written in a way that rapidly draws you into the story of the life of the author Thomas Mann as well as giving insight into the events of the time, with a focus on the World Wars and how these enormous events impacted Mann, his family, and friends.

Reece (Kings Langley)

I’m 31 year old man living in West Herts. I’d love to turn my passion for reading into a means of socialising with like-minded locals. I’m usually far more comfortable reading classics, but I’m exploring more modern fiction this year too. Literary fiction will always grab by attention, but I’m up to try anything.

Reece recommends:

The Count of Monte Cristo

by Alexandre Dumas | Buy this book

It’s a true swashbuckling, revenge-fuelled, plot-driven classic!

ZisKnow (Tring)

I'm a 44 year old male, avid reader though I've been stuck in a rut lately and re-reading old familiar things rather than branching out. Looking to meet up with some like minded readers to both gently socialise, and explore new fiction.

A Love of Novels Bookclub (Baldock)

Dearest Local Book Lovers! I am looking to create a small book club for those who live local to Baldock and are interested in various genres. I moved here just over a year ago and want to read books and joyfully chatter about them over a café or glass of something! I work full time so perhaps an evening (in the warmer days) or during half term holidays kind of work well for me (sorry to sound so selfish!). We could meet initially and talk a little about the books we love and loathe and discuss our next book, meeting date and place. I have just started reading: Family and Borghesia by Natalia Ginzburg, but am also super enthusiastic to re-read my current favourites: A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Flowers for Algernon or Maurakami's Men Without Women. I hope that some of you might be interested in joining me, if so please do drop me a little note here! Warm Wishes Arpana

Christine (Harpenden)

Hi I am in my early 60s but feeling young! Been living in Harpenden for 3 years. Was previously in Surrey. Spending more time reading and would like to combine this with getting to know more people with a shared interest locally.

Skye (Harpenden)

17, interested in classics, sci-fi/dystopian so far but open to other genres and types of books.

Skye recommends:

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keyes | Buy this book

Very interesting as a concept but also creates a good connection with the characters, with a very emotional ending - read it over a year ago and it stays with me all the time

Potters Bar Readers (Potters Bar)

For all ages backgrounds and genders

Laura (Potters Bar)

I love reading all books both fiction and non fiction and will often have two books on the go. I would like to meet people who are interested in different things to myself

Laura recommends:

Hot Milk

by Deborah Levy | Buy this book

I love how this book makes you question your own relationships with your family and the beliefs you have created of yourself

Mimi (Welwyn)

Hi, I'm 19. Recently got out of a major book slump due to burn out from exams. Most of my friends are not into reading hence why I want to meet more people who share my love for reading. I don't limit myself to a particular genre, open to exploring fiction books from different corners of the world. Have to admit, fantasy , thriller and crime do have special place in my heart x

C.E.Colemane (Berkhamsted)

I'm an author, looking to share and discuss my work with interested book groups.

C.E.Colemane recommends:

The Conjurer and the Corpse

by C.E.Colemane | Buy this book

This book has a gas lamp / victoriana fantasy setting, a cozy murder mystery plot with a magical twist, and complex, sympathetic characters - I hope this is a book that sweeps you off your feet on first reading and provides a rich treasure trove of discovery on second reading. You be the judge!

Emily (Watford)

I’ve always loved fantasy for the way it blends imagination with deep questions about identity, power, and belonging. I’m especially drawn to stories with rich world-building, complex characters, and yes—a touch of romance never hurts.

LuReads (Potters Bar)

I would like to meet and make friends with like-minded people who also enjoy reading. I enjoy fiction - mainly crime, fantasy and more recently romantasy type books.

David (Radlett)

Love books but mostly have them piled up unread by the side of my bed. Recently retired and want to stay sharp reading and then discussing with others. If interested to join me, let me know!

Sara (Watford)

Hey, I’m a 32 year old book worm who loves reading. Unfortunately, being an adult means I’ve had to prioritise work and personal commitments so reading has taken a back seat. I’m hoping to get back into reading while also meeting new people and hopefully forming strong friendships along the way.

Vivek (Hitchin)

I like reading history, fiction, and science books. Looking forward to meeting new people, sharing experience and understanding from books we read together.
