Timbles71 (London)
I am interested in a monthly book group. Quite like the idea of one that meets in a pub! I have always been in book groups and looking for one again so I read all sorts of different things with a much needed deadline.

Sign in to contactMoses (London)
Londoner based in Camberwell. I read across genres but I'm drawn to epic fantasy, crime fiction, and non-fiction that gets into how people and systems actually work. Currently deep in a fantasy series that's now 19 books and counting. Previously: Mistborn, Gentleman Bastard, Sandman, and a lot of Robert Greene. I'm joining a book club for the conversation as much as the reading. I tend to read alone and fast, but talking through a book with people who've sat with the same pages is a different experience entirely. I'd also like to be pushed toward literary fiction I wouldn't naturally reach for. Monthly meetings suit my schedule. I show up prepared.

Moonriser (South East London) (London)
I have a broad range of books I like to read. For fiction, I really enjoy magical realism. However I just love a well written narrative and will read most works as long as they capture my imagination. For non-fiction, I love science, history, philosophy and anything about why people are who they are. I am based in South East London and would love to find fellow bookish and curious people to meet and read with and to pick apart our thoughts on books. Would love to find my reading kin! Amongst my favourite books are Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez The Psychopath Test- Jon Ronson Mythos - Stephen Fry Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind -Yuval Noah Harari

Inspyre Book Club (London)
The Inspyre Book Club is a relaxed community reading group. We choose a book, and then people come together to talk about it over conversation, tea, and shared reflection. It’s less about analysing the book like a classroom and more about hearing different perspectives and enjoying thoughtful discussion with others who love stories.

Sign in to contactIan (London)
Early 30s, have historically read a lot of genre fiction (SFF, mystery, some romance), also trying now to add some amount of both recent and classic literary fiction to my reading diet. Looking to find new books to read (both in and out of my traditional comfort zone) and have interesting conversations about them.
Sign in to contactEmma (London)
I love hearing other people's different takes on a book and how that leads to interesting conversations and sharing of thoughts, feelings and ideas. Looking for more of that and the social and intellectual buzz that comes with it.

Atikah (London)
Hi :D I’m 25 years old with an appetite for learning and in depth discussion- and I would love to be able to read more! I find it much easier to read consistently when doing so alongside friends and sharing thoughts as we go. I love both fiction (fantasy, romance, thrillers etc.) and non fiction (science, linguistics, philosophy etc.). Keen to get through my TBR list but very open to recs as well! Based in central / east London

Dawncarla (London)
I used be part of a book club in Malta and miss the social aspects of it and the encouragement it gave me to read more. I'm new to Croydon so it would be nice to meet people and be part of a local book club.
