Shani

Hiya, my name is Shani, and I'm 21. I've always loved reading since I was young, and I'm quite fond of classics, magical realism and fantasy. My two favourite books are 'The Phantom of the Opera' by Gaston Leroux and 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' by Mitch Albom. I'd love to broaden my knowledge of literature and expand on the genres I am currently into, whilst socialising with like-minded people :)

ZoeB

Hello, I am Zoe, originally from Greece and I live and work in London for around 6 years now. I always liked reading, it makes me feel understood. Multiple times I might have a deeper thought that I have not put into words and there it is, in the novel I am reading! I am looking for a group of like-minded people who enjoy reading and analysing stories and characters. I usually like classic literature, lately I am reading "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky. I also like Albert Camus and anything similar that combines more existential-philosophical subjects, with a story. Also, I occasionally enjoy poetry. If that sounds good to you please contact me :)

Nataliia

Hi everyone! My name is Nataliia, I’m 51 years old, and I live in Richmond, London. I love reading and try to read at least one book a month. I’m especially drawn to books about people’s lives and destinies — stories that stay with you and make you think deeply about life, choices, and human nature. At the moment, I’m reading Schindler’s List. Recently, I finished The Reader and 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World. I would be very happy to meet and discuss books with people who have similar reading tastes. Meeting once a month sounds ideal to me. Looking forward to connecting with fellow readers!

Nataliia recommends:

The Glass Castle

The Glass Castle is a moving memoir about growing up in a chaotic family, overcoming hardship, and finding strength despite a difficult childhood.

In some parts it felt a lot like a Studio Ghibli film. The characters, with their own motivations and quirks, gripped me immediately.
