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.

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.

Blood and Guts in Highschool
by Kathy Acker | Buy this book
So provoking and deep, complex , misunderstood , perfectly representing the female mind in its truest form and not just how people want / hope people think and feel.

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.

I am a 22-year-old journalist who has moved to London from Glasgow for work and to pursue my masters. I've been here for about six months now and would love to find a good book club to join. I'm a huge fan of Orwell (particularly his lesser-known novels like Coming Up For Air), Irish literature, and Scottish poetry. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!

EmilyT (London)

My favourite book is Donna tart - a secret history. I would like to join a book club because I struggle to find and focus on one book so it would be good to have some direction and fun to discuss with people afterwards.

angie.k (London)

In love with reading, not always motivated to do so. I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone this year and mostly the comfort of my couch, too and I’d love to socialise with people while doing that! I’m 29 and around Woodford area :)

Iron widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
Iron widow
by Xiran Jay Zhao | Buy this book
The feminine rage it emanates? Immaculate. If the handmaids tale and pacific rim had a child, this book would be it. It touches on politics, sensitive subjects and explores our fmc’s point of view on all of these.
