Ak (London)

Hi Everyone, I’m 27 years old and have always liked reading. I am hoping to join a fun book club that meets every week or every other week. I like all genres except heavy sci-fi. Otherwise I will read anything that’s good! Would be really happy to connect.

Writers and Lovers

by Lily King | Learn more and buy

I only recently discovered Lily King but I absolutely adored this book and her writing style.

Colin (London)

I'm a relatively new reader, 18 years old. I have of course read books in the past but only recently I have decided to take up reading as a hobby for myself. I don't have a singular genre I prefer but I tend to lean towards dystopias, historic fiction, and the classics. I want to find other readers in my area and discuss literature, as well as take book recommendations to broaden my horizons.

Frankliv (London)

Hi! I’m in my early 30s and work and live in London. In the last year, I’ve rediscovered my love for reading and am looking for a book club that will allow me to expand my horizons and meet some new people. Love a tragic romance, fantasy, scifi, queer fiction and the occasional historical fiction.

Heart the Lover

by Lily King | Learn more and buy

This book broke me a little bit, but in the best possible way. It’s a must read for anyone who’s wondered ‘what if’, especially if you want to be left with a sense that what is meant for you comes to you.

Robindon (London)

Hi everyone, I love reading fantasy romance, romantasy, sci-fi romance books. Reading is my happy place and I would like to meet other people who are similar and like the same genres. I am in my early 30s and work in the city as an event manager.

Shani (London)

Hiya, my name is Shani, and I'm 21. I've always loved reading since I was young, and I'm quite fond of classics, magical realism and fantasy. My two favourite books are 'The Phantom of the Opera' by Gaston Leroux and 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' by Mitch Albom. I'd love to broaden my knowledge of literature and expand on the genres I am currently into, whilst socialising with like-minded people :)

ZoeB (London)

Hello, I am Zoe, originally from Greece and I live and work in London for around 6 years now. I always liked reading, it makes me feel understood. Multiple times I might have a deeper thought that I have not put into words and there it is, in the novel I am reading! I am looking for a group of like-minded people who enjoy reading and analysing stories and characters. I usually like classic literature, lately I am reading "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky. I also like Albert Camus and anything similar that combines more existential-philosophical subjects, with a story. Also, I occasionally enjoy poetry. If that sounds good to you please contact me :)

BenDevlin (London)

I'm a writer who enjoys discussing books - am a bit stuck in the 60s and 70s

Joshua Knowles (London)

I like reading classic fiction novels and nonfiction science and history. My favourite novel is Dracula by Bram Stoker.

Wonderful and beautiful and remains relevant, I relate deeply to the main character, Jane.

Silvia (London)

Loved reading since I was a kid and used to go through 4-6 books a week! Now, I don’t read nearly as much and would love to get back into it. I just recently moved to Ruislip so also would love to meet people with similar interests as well.

Nataliia (London)

Hi everyone! My name is Nataliia, I’m 51 years old, and I live in Richmond, London. I love reading and try to read at least one book a month. I’m especially drawn to books about people’s lives and destinies — stories that stay with you and make you think deeply about life, choices, and human nature. At the moment, I’m reading Schindler’s List. Recently, I finished The Reader and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. I would be very happy to meet and discuss books with people who have similar reading tastes. Meeting once a month sounds ideal to me. Looking forward to connecting with fellow readers!
