Alessandra

I am passionate about books. I love classics, but also contemporary fiction. I have joined before couple of book clubs, but for various reasons I am still looking for a 'favourite'. I am open and curious about finding like-minded people and discover together literature I haven't read, yet or want to reshare.

Maria

Hi! I’m Maria, and I’m looking to meet new people who also love books. I especially enjoy thrillers, mysteries, crime and romance, but I’d also love to branch out and discover books I might not normally pick myself. I’m quite introverted at first, so I thought joining a book group would be a lovely way to make friends, have interesting conversations and share recommendations. I’d ideally like to meet around once or twice a month. 😊

Ana

Hi everyone, I’m Ana. I love books that stay with you long after you’ve finished reading them and make you see things a little differently. I’m really looking forward to meeting fellow book lovers, making new friends, and sharing that experience with all of you. 📖

Amanda

I’m a reader who loves literary non fiction, historical novels, and the occasional speculative short story. I’m drawn to books that linger rich characters, and ideas that spark conversation. I’m joining this group to share perspectives, discover authors I wouldn’t find on my own, and take part in thoughtful, warm discussions where listening matters as much as arguing a point. I am looking for a book club where people meet in person and share different perspective and knowledge

UncensoredAbu

To me reading books is becoming a niche and I don’t want that to be the case. I have been reducing my screen time and been getting back on the books and journaling again. As I have grown older, my choices in books have adapted and become personal to who I am and what I want to be and I believe that everyone has a story to tell based on the books that they read so I want to get know others.

100 years war on Palestine

by Rashid Khalidi | Learn more and buy

Whatever you believe on the topic, it’s really important to get an understanding of what is going on outside of our own world. It’s important to know history not in the way that mainstream media would want you to know them so it’s amazing to get a different perspective that may not be in your narrative you been bought up with

Vivien

My name is Vivien, I've lived in London for 12 years and I always wanted to join a book club but somehow never got around to it... I grew up reading a lot and I have recently found myself getting back into it again thankfully. I have quite a stressful job and reading is a way to escape for me. I am pretty much open to any suggestions and I also have my own. 😁

kristian like book

Hi all, my name is Kristian. I’m in my early 20s and have recently moved back to London. I have been trying to get back into a reading practice, and hopefully make some friends along the way. For fiction, I like to read classics with a philosophical skew, but I am quite happy to read pretty much anything interesting that broadens my perspective of the world. For non-fiction books, I am again pretty open. I have tended to read mostly on economics, politics, philosophy, sociology, social critique, psychoanalysis / psychology. I’m much less keen on self-help books. I’m looking to meet around once a month. Contact me if our interests align!

AncaryT

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m always looking for my next book obsession. I love romance with great chemistry, emotional depth, and a bit of suspense. Some of my favourites are Ana Huang’s books, the Windsor series, the Made series, and the Deception series. Always happy to swap recommendations and discover new favourites! 📚✨

Giulia

Hi everyone! I'm looking to join a book club to make friends and to push myself to read more. I grew up an avid reader but in the age of technology and social media and having a desk job I lost my reading sparkle. I read all kinds of books but I gravitate towards the classics, thrillers, mistery, true crime, sci-fi if it's not the boring or spicy kind that read like fanfic. I just got a brand new bookcase so please help me fill it!

Crying in H Mart

by Michelle Zauner | Learn more and buy

This is the true story of Michelle Zauner, lead vocalist of Japanese Breakfast. It's an extremely personal portrait of a multi-cultural family dealing with dysfunction and loss, mainly through home-made korean cuisine. It resonated with me on a deep level and I found myself enraged, crying with grief and laughing throughout the book.

Monica

I love reading fiction and currently working on reading translated fiction around the world to reas more diversely l.. looking for a book club to discuss

Umamibooks

Hi, I am 34, South Asian from East London. I love reading all kinds esp. thrillers, mystery, detective stories, fantasy, sci-fi, women's literature and occasionally rom-coms. Currently alternating between thrillers/mystery (in an Agatha Christie chokehold atm) and books similar to Beth O Leary's Flatshare. Full confession—I don't like Sarah J Maas's style of Romantasy books. I would love to meet up with fellow bookworms and dissect a book for hours over a non-alcoholic beverage of choice. Frequency is very variable but once or twice month to begin with would be ideal.

Aaron

I've never been a person who reads on a regular basics. but I am willing to improve my reading skills, and communication skills, to gain confidence and come out my shell through each different subjects, and learn from others and connect with like minded people in the community from all walks of life.

Gal

I love contemporary fiction, but will read almost anything.

Southside Stories

A group for South London Woman to have interesting, insightful discussions about all genres of books; contemporary, scifi, horror, non -fiction etc. I really believe wether you do or don't enjoy a novel, hearing others thoughts makes reading so much more fulfilling. We'll meet in a monthly basis, location tbd. Feel free to reach out! :)
