I’m 23 and started to get more into reading last year. I have adventured out to different genres this year and it has been amazing to experience the difference genres. I love anything fantasy, romance, comedy, crime etc. would love to join a book club or meet some people who have an interest in books to not only find new books I might not of picked up but meet new people.

A court of Thorne and roses

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

Amazing detail and character growth as there is 5 books in this set. Multiple sets from this author and was the book that got me into fantasy reading.

Libby (Stone)

My daughter has just gone to university and I am looking to pick up some new hobbies, make new friends and make some space for me. I am a sporadic reader and not at all a literature buff. I like romance, life twisty stuff, crime etc.

jordan (Uttoxeter)

Hiya, 23 year old here who have recently decided that she wanted to get into reading. I love romance like most other girls but I also love something psychologically challenging. I have been interested in some assassin stuff in the past but really I want to make friends who can get me out of the house and to expand my interests and have someone who I can talk to about my new found hobby. I have picked up a few books recently but it's been a challenge to start reading them because I'm a very unmotivated person. Due to mental health and physical issues I don't have much interest in anything but I've started to get back into old hobbies like painting and I know if I start reading I would love it like I used to in the past. I think I just need a push and having others recommend books or read them with me will be the push I need.

Sarah (Stoke-on-Trent)

Hello, I am 37 and getting back into reading after having to finish work due to some heath issues, at times I find life can get quite lonely but I love to escape with a good book and cuddles with my pooch, I like to read all genres apart from mushy books, I love murder mysteries, horror, fantasy (anything exciting really lol) and it would be great to make some new friends.

Ryan (Stoke-on-Trent)

Big sprawling historical fantasy. Harry Potter written by Jane Austen. Funny, moving, fascinating and so very well-written.

A Court Of Thorns and Roses

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

This book was the book to springboard me into the fantastic world of Sarah J Maas, it enabled me to completely escape the trials and tribulations of every day life and created a safe space in my head whci h was solely taken up by the characters within these books.

Majko (Stoke-on-Trent)

Looking to meet people who love reading.

Benjamin (Lichfield)

My name is Benjamin. I am an English Literature graduate, now comms 'professional' and don't have many friends at 35. I would be interested in finding a group to talk about books. I read widely and gravitate towards literature/the kind of books that you would study at university, as opposed to crime, romance, etc. For example, I recently reread The Crystal World by J.G. Ballard; prior to that I read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and am about to start Ivan Goncharov's Oblomov.

Benjamin recommends:

Revolutionary Road

by Richard Yates | Buy this book

Possibly one of the most underrated American realist novels. This tells the deceptively simple story of two people who have dreams/ideals that they never fulfil, and details how their lives wane after the excitement of their youth, the realities of suburban living in the 50s and how we're not all destined for lives of importance.

Dee (Lichfield)

Hey! My name is Diana and I am 23! I am getting into reading so much more again and I would love to meet and connect with like-minded people! I have read many different genres and will obviously continue expanding my bookshelf library!

Dee recommends:

Call Me By Your Name

by André Aciman | Buy this book

A romantically written summer in Italy, showing true connection between two people.

Anna (Stoke-on-Trent)

I love romance books but I am also open to reading other books , just want to branch out and meet new people

Alex (Stoke-on-Trent)

I'm Alex, 24. I've been meaning to get back into reading for a while, alas I have struggled. Maybe if I meet some folks along the way I can figure it out though?

Alex recommends:

Closer Baby Closer

by Savannah Brown | Buy this book

It's a poetry collection about dating in the modern age. Best review I read described it as "terminally online". Savannah is great at taking moments that, should they happen to us would feel huge, and shrinking them down into broad and relatable terms. It's also just pretty vulnerable and I like that.

Cameron Hale (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

27-year-old that has always loved reading and would like to share this passion with like-minded people. It would be great to meet up with people once or twice a month to share and discuss a book of choice!

Cameron Hale recommends:

The Humans

by Matt Haig | Buy this book

Brilliantly witty and a great social commentary on the things that make us human. A great read if you like reminders not to take yourself (and life!) too seriously.

camhale (Newcastle (Staffordshire))

I like a variety of genres, but mainly into fictional stories that are grounded in non-fictional events. Looking to meet new people who love reading and would like to meet up 2-3 times a month to share/discuss our favourite reads while exploring new literature too!

I'm 22 and having finished my undergraduate and planning to return to the area for my Masters now without the social connections I had before I'm looking to meet like-minded people who love to read! I'm into all things fiction and would love to get to meet some new faces!

James recommends:

The Thursday Murder Club

by Richard Osman | Buy this book

Having read this during lockdown it really brought back my interest in reading, not having read for so long. It clicked with me massively being based down in Tonbridge Wells which I grew up not far from. The characters have their differences in personality which really come through on the pages. Every book in this series I've just adored!

Four Seasons in Japan

by Nick Bradley | Buy this book

This is what I'm currently reading! About halfway through and really loving it so far. I've never had a huge interest in Japan but the writer really makes you care about these characters, whether it's the 'real life' characters or the 'book in a book' characters. It flows wonderfully and super easy to read.
