Amy (London)

I love reading, it would be great to connect with others who enjoy it too.

Edoardo (London)

Hello! I’m Edoardo, 24 years old avid reader, looking to join (or start) a book club and it meets monthly to get into new books, exchange ideas, and make new friends. I mostly read fiction and would like to get into more “modern” books. I live in East London, Whitechapel area.

Edoardo recommends:

Norwegian Wood

by Haruki Murakami | Buy this book

Melancholic, nostalgic but calming, very well written book that investigates loss and relationships. Makes you travel in space and time.

Wendy (London)

I'm interested in joining a book club because I enjoy discussing literature, gaining different perspectives, and discovering new genres. It's a great way to connect with fellow readers and broaden my reading horizons.

Nina (London)

I am an avid 28yr old reader, looking to join a book club near me that meets regularly. I've kind of lost my rhythm with reading so hoping it gets me back on track to read at least 45-50 books in 2024. Would also love to meet new people and make new friends. I live in East London (Hackney area) so I would love it to be local.

Nina recommends:

Pachinko

by Min Jin Lee | Buy this book

This richly told and profound novel has everything you would want in a book. As someone who knows very little about Korean history, this book was absolutely fascinating. Rich, detailed characterisation draws us into the lives of these people and, at least for me, teaches us a chapter of modern history we might not have been aware of.

Rebel Book Club - London (London)

Some of my favourites; Russian literature in general like Master and Margarita or The Idiot, F.S. Fitzgerald, F. Kafka, more recent obsession: Seven Moons of Maali Almeida.

Holly (London)

I am a 30 year old looking for a book club that meets every month, to encourage myself to read more consistently and meet new people who also enjoy reading. I like a lot of different genres and open to any suggestion, although I usually enjoy fiction the most. One of my favourite books I’ve read in the past few years has been A Little Life and this year I really enjoyed Norwegian Wood, Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I live in Chingford, London, so meeting somewhere in East London would be perfect
