Chitritha
I love reading fiction. I enjoy reading thrillers, mysteries and suspense novels. I also enjoy contemporary and literary fiction. I have recently started reading memoirs and find them fascinating as well. I’d like the opportunity to meet and discuss ideas and themes presented in books and understand different perspectives

Giovanna
Hi everyone! I’m looking to join a book club to stay motivated and meet people who love reading. I mainly read classic literature and novels, but I'm open to exploring new genres. I enjoy reading in both English and Italian, so finding a group that embraces both would be amazing.

I am 29M, been living in London since 2018. I am a curious and analytical person who enjoys understanding how the world works. I’m particularly interested in history, geopolitics, intelligence, psychology, science, philosophy and human behaviour. When something interests me, I tend to go beyond the surface and ask why things happened, how they work and what shaped them. I enjoy reading not just for entertainment, but to challenge my thinking and understand different perspectives. I’d like to join a book club because I want to discover books and ideas that I might not come across on my own, while having meaningful discussions with people who have different opinions and interpretations. I’m especially interested in hearing perspectives that challenge my own rather than simply agreeing with me. I think discussing a book with others can make the experience much more rewarding because you notice ideas, themes and viewpoints that you might have missed while reading alone. Ultimately, I’d like to join a book club to read more widely, think more deeply, meet intellectually curious people and have genuine conversations about ideas rather than just discussing whether we liked a book or not.

Mathematician and avid reader (or trying to). I am drawn towards books that hide a bit of something and gradually reveal underlying themes, challenge new perspectives whether that's in the plot or view point, and characters who enjoy the pursuit of knowledge. A few books I have enjoyed: anything by Borges, In Ascension, The Secret History, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, The Three Body Problem Trilogy, Titus Groan. I like to read factual literature which would challenge my views and teach me something new.

Zoe Deakin
I love reading, I'm especially intentional about reading books by non white authors, as these aren't always the ones that are displayed, however this is definitely getting better. I love reading, I'm a secondary school teacher and reading is something that is a big focus for us on a whole school level. I adore reading, love language, especially as a dyslexic adult who found reading really challenging as a child. I would love to meet people and share our love of stories

Jaundre
Hi! My name is Jaundre. I’m from Zambia and I’ve recently moved to London, so I’m hoping to meet some new people and make a few friends( if possible). (Ive been reading for a long time stopped and started again) i like books about war, history and historical events, but honestly I’ll give pretty much anything a try. I’d love to find some people who enjoy reading too, have similar interests, and maybe meet up to talk about books or just hang out.

Amsterdam Women Book Club
This is a book club for women (including trans) readers who want to focus on women authors. We primarily read literary fiction, but also memoir. I listed London as the closest town, under the assumption that you'll reach Amsterdam by taking the Eurostar (environmentally friendly and easy).

I'm a retired professor (UC Berkeley) and scientist (AI and genomics) living in Amsterdam with my husband, a Londoner. I love literature and run two book clubs (The Amsterdam Women Book Club, for women readers focusing on women writers; and Amsterdam Literary Memoir and Essays). Like many readers, I also write (literary fiction, essays, memoir and poetry). When we travel in the UK, I try to join book clubs, to meet fellow lovers of literature.
