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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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 :)

Becca46.
I enjoy a wide variety of literature, at the moment I’m reading books by Cecelia Ahern. I think I’ve read all of her published books up to date! I also like to read non-fiction and am particularly interested in spiritual literature. I have read several thriller novels which I have enjoyed but I’m not really a fan of horror fiction books or fantasy fiction either. Although, I did read a little of the Harry Potter series (but I didn’t finish 🙃) I would love to meet with people who have a variety of literary interests. I feel that’s what makes a varied group. My other interests include jewellery making. Which I make using Gemstone Crystals, another interest of mine and I love animals. I volunteer at a local urban farm, although it’s a bit chilly at the moment!! (Feb) Ultimately, I would like to start my own book club/reading group, so if anyone would like to join me please get in touch @ (Facebook - Becca Reilly)

Amina
I'm 20 and very recently got back into reading as an alternative to doom scrolling and killing my attention span. Recently read 1984 (loved it) and then The Handmaid's Tale (was sort of disappointed by this one) immediately after. Considering reading Dune or Farenheit 451 next. I enjoy books with political themes and Kafka, dislike romance books (not judging just not my thing).
