Phoebe (Baldock)

I like thriller, horror and started to move towards more literary fiction

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.

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 | Learn more and buy

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 | Learn more and buy

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 | Learn more and buy

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.

Vivek recommends:

Sea of poppies

by Amitav Ghosh | Learn more and buy

The breadth and depth of history, characters mixed with culture. All written in a lucid prose that absorbs the reader in the vast span of the story.

Debbie (Rickmansworth)

I love travel books, biographies, art, photography, history books etc! I feel like we've got similar interests in reading :)

Debs (Rickmansworth)

Hi I'm Debs, I love reading but sometimes need motivation to finish books or get into a certain genre! I love books on psychology, sci-fi, fantasy, biographies etc. My favourite book of all time is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. In my free time, I travel a lot, I like to cook, go for walks and hikes etc

Helen (Welwyn Garden City)

Didn't read for 10 years and then got into fantasy romance. ACOTAR was my entry into this world and haven't stopped. I get lots of recommendations off booktok. But would love to join a little book club to chat in person and get new recommendations

Helen recommends:

A court of thrones and roses

by Sarah j mass | Learn more and buy

It's an entry into a 16 book series set across 3 worlds and time zones. Enimes to lovers. Women finding there strength !

Misty (Watford)

I love fantasy, sapphic and classic novels. Looking to find other book loving friends in the Watford area. Ideally someone near the same age as myself (20s).

AliLovesBooks (Bishop's Stortford)

I am a writer who enjoys reading books in most genres, except for horror and sports. I like I am particularly keen on meeting a group of people who have a passion for contemporary poetry.

AliLovesBooks recommends:

The book is about the journey of letting go, healing, wellbeing and growth. The poems are contemporary, spiritual and relates to issues in modern society. The book really changes the reader to reflect on self and to be the best version of themsleves.
