I am Hannah, 35, love reading, I’ll give any book a go, I also like to write myself. Looking for local people to talk to about different books or to set up a local book club for members to discuss fortnightly, I love fantasy romance, but I am dabbling with other genres. Would love to meet new friends and discuss books and get recommendations

i am 24 years old and have been an avid book reader since I was a child but unfortunately derailed from it these past years. I am looking to get back into it and would love to meet passionate readers such as myself. I am a fan of dark fantasy/mystery and historical books at the moment and I am currently reading book 3 of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Full Tilt

by Emma Scott | Buy this book

From the very beginning, the story takes an eloquently beautiful look on life, and in particular, death. It is gut-wrenchingly sad, and made me cry heavily. 10/10 my favourite book.

rida (Walsall)

Hi, I'm looking to make some new friends and talk about books. I enjoy most genres, but I especially love fantasy and sci-fi.

Katie (Walsall)

Hi! I moved to the west midlands nearly a year ago and am looking to make friends and settle more into the area, and to have some external pressures to actually finish my books! I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy books best, but honestly I'm willing to give any genre a go at least once. Looking for other people to meet up with every so often to chat, knit and discuss book emotions with.

Nicholas Duncan Mysteries : Everyday

by Stuart Tidman | Buy this book

Unique use of ‘flashbacks’ - rather than whole chapters dedicated to the background of a character, a few paragraphs / pages are used (much like how we recall a memory for a few moments, then return to the here and now)

If We Were Villains

by M.L. Rio | Buy this book

To me everything is great about this book. I love how the story unfolds, rarely being told in the present and mostly done through flashback. None of the characters I feel were overly likeable but the writing enabled me to still feel empathy for them. I liked the mix of coming of age, mystery and dark academia in one of my favourite book settings: a boarding school!

Rizwana (Coventry)

23 Year old recently finished university, and trying to find the joys of everyday life. Slowly been getting back into reading and have found myself enjoying new genres:)

Rizwana recommends:

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

The first book I have read from Vuong and found it so authentic and it connected with me and my mother.

Brums Book Babes (Birmingham)

A fun and safe space for people aged 18-25 to meet like-minded individuals and have friendly chat about books in Birmingham.

Hols (Coventry)

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old student who is obsessed with all kinds of literature. Sadly, many of my peers have passions in various other fields and I’d really love to meet people who are interested in the same things as me, which would allow me to try new things outside of my comfort zone. I hope to hear from you soon! :)
