All listings in London

North London Reading Group (London)

A well-established book group that has recently lost members as they have moved out of London We read fiction, but avoid classics as many people have read them/some. We are very open but have some rough guidelines: fiction, 400 pages or less. That's it. The number of pages is hopefully to mean that if a book isn't to your taste then you have a chance of reading it and supplementing it with something you don't like. If you don't finish, come anyway! We take it in turns to choose a book a d meet in a pub, usually in the King's Cross area but not too strict, and like wine with our books!

Hi everyone! I’m pretty new to reading for fun, but I’ve always wanted to get into it more. I don’t read very often right now, but I’m hoping this book club will help me explore new genres, discover stories that pull me in, and build a regular reading habit.

Giulia (London)

Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a book club to make friends and to push myself to read more. I grew up an avid reader but in the age of technology and social media and having a desk job I lost my reading sparkle. I read all kinds of books but I gravitate towards the classics, thrillers, mistery, true crime, sci-fi if it's not the boring or spicy kind that read like fanfic. I just got a brand new bookcase so please help me fill it!

Crying in H Mart

by Michelle Zauner | Learn more and buy

This is the true story of Michelle Zauner, lead vocalist of Japanese Breakfast. It's an extremely personal portrait of a multi-cultural family dealing with dysfunction and loss, mainly through home-made korean cuisine. It resonated with me on a deep level and I found myself enraged, crying with grief and laughing throughout the book.

TStep97 (London)

Hi there, I'm a 26 year-old who's relatively new to the area and looking for a book group to aid in meeting people with similar interests. My reading history is something of a melting point: lots of classics with a particular affinity to Dumas, Wilde and Capote but also regularly reading fantasy (GRR Martin, Stephen King, Tolkien). I'm based in NW London (Maida Vale) so would love to be able to discuss books with like-minded people.

Jallal (London)

I binge read books I like, especially page turners. My favourite genres are historical fiction, fantasy, romance and politics. The sweet spot is all of the above mixed in one. Strangely I dislike Non-fiction like I'm allergic to them. I'm in mid 20s and teaching. Would love to meet other readers locally and looking to find a good club!
