Naina

Hi I typically read just about anything I can get my hands on it typically ranges from dark romance to fantasy to even non fiction or even horror and phycological thriller. I've always wanted to have friends or even a community where I can share my thoughts and hear others about a book. Ive always wanted to make friends with people who share that same passion. I love new book recommendations and I'm not biased I enjoy everything.

Throne of glass

by Sarah J Maas | Buy this book

I love this book series it was one of the first fantasy books i got into when I was a teenager I love how thought out and detailed it is and how fully immersive you become in it. Theres so many great twists and turns that you would never expect.

sxrawn

I read/watched myself out of sci-FI a while back now, as is what happens when you get obsessed with a genre and consume 5+ hours of it a day. Looking to get back into reading and expanding my horizons, particularly to help me write!

I would like to meet people who love books as much as me. I'm a female in my 50s.

Pretty Good Catholic

by Rachel Hoover Canto | Buy this book

It’s good for everyone. I’m not catholic but it’s definitely a good read

Singh

New to reading, just read my first whole books in about two decades, not the best book but interesting. Looking to share my thoughts and hear thoughts on other books.

Nisha

I'm 21. I love reading but have lost the motivation to finish a book. I read psychological thrillers, horror and dark romance but I'll read anything honestly. I love collecting books for my future home library and I have banned myself from buying new books until I've read all the ones I've already got.

Jobe

I'll sort this out later :)

Stories and Swills

Stories & Swills is a community-driven book club where good books meet great conversation—always paired with a glass of wine in hand. We’re all about thoughtful reads, chill vibes, and connecting over stories that stick. Join us in Birmingham (and now Chester!) for monthly meetups, bookish banter, and the occasional cocktail.

Yasin

I am a 20 year old uni student who has not read books in a while and I am interested in starting again. I used to read a lot of fantasy but I am also open to reading new genres. If anyone is interested feel free to contact me :)

Jamie

I'm a student that recently started getting back into reading over that past year or so. I mostly enjoy reading classics and philosophical fiction (Hesse, Dostoyevsky, Sartre). Lately I've been trying to branch out more with Jane Eyre, Nineteen Eighty-Four and some others. I'd really like to meet other people to talk to about books and philosphy, and maybe even get some recommendations.

Jamie recommends:

Demian

by Hermann Hesse | Buy this book

Demian is an incredibly reflective and inspiring book. There is a good deal of philosophy regarding the world and people, but the real treasure is its numerous introspective moments and narratives that, for me, sets it apart from other philosophical works I've read. Demian is less the story of a boy trying to understand the world, and more of a boy trying to understand himself.

Emily

I am absolutely loving reading fantasy, romance and literary fiction! This year so far I have read Heavenly Bodies, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm (obviously!), the Magnolia Parks series and I have a long TBR list! Would love to meet some friends with similar interests and I would love to start a monthly meet up book club - probably a fantasy / romance fantasy club! If you are interested, share your email with me and I will help to get the ball rolling! I am 27 years old and work in marketing :)

JoounKim

Hi, I am Jooun, 27 and I am a teacher who's rediscovering my passion for reading. After years of being caught up in work and life, I've decided to dedicate some of my time for books and embrace what I actually enjoy in life. I am looking to connect with book lovers who can help me stay motivated and committed to finishing books. I'll share my favourites and I'll welcome yours.

Aimee

I’m a 22 year old uni student. I like books by rina Kent, Elle kenndey and fantasy and romance books. Open to read many genres though. I have a cat called cleo and like to discuss the books I read and opening to explore new books :)📚

Maria

Hi, my name is Maria and I’m a uni student. Growing up I’ve always loved reading and romance used to be my favourite genre until I started branching out. Recently I’ve been into thrillers and books with an anti-heroine / villain as the main lead. I like philosophical books aswell as books with a deeeper / hidden meaning. But I do still love a good romance :)) Looking for someone to talk to about books and other fun things!! <3

How to Kill A Guy in 10 Ways

by Eve Kellman | Buy this book

Interesting female lead

Avidreader

I love reading all kinds of genres although classics are something that I haven’t delved into yet. I want to be with a group of people that can share their thoughts about books and get that same excitement from them that I experience when opening a book.

Sofiia

I started reading actively around 8 months ago, when I read Fourth Wing. It was the start of my obsession with books, even though before that I still read a couple of books a year. I love fantasy, romantasy, romance books. I also enjoy reading detectives and psychological thrillers. For non-fiction I love psychiatry and neuroscience books, since they are related to my studies at the moment.

Sofiia recommends:

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

by Taylor Jenkins Reid | Buy this book

It was one of my 6 stars read this winter. I loved everything starting from the writing. The story altered my brain chemistry.

Fran

Uni student, looking to meet new people to talk about books with! I read mostly literature and literary fiction, but I'm interested in diving into new genres (looking forward to reading Samuel Delany soon). Some authors I've enjoyed recently: Iris Murdoch, Dennis Cooper, José Donoso, Christopher Isherwood, Eliza Clark. My all time favourite is Oscar Wilde :)
