The Poisonwood Bible

by Barbara Kingsolver | Buy this book

I love this book for its raw, winding storytelling, its fantastic narrative voice and the rich historical backdrop of the Congo. Kingsolver is truly a master of words!

Adam

26 year old software engineer looking to join a book club or chat over coffee with fellow readers :). I'm already in a non-fiction book club but I've struggled to find a fiction group.

Everything

Luna

Young university student in London looking to meet others with similar interests. I read all genres, currently literary criticism :)

Ellen

I am 32 and looking to join a book club. I enjoy all sorts of fiction and have recently read In Memoriam by Alice Winn, Good Material by Dolly Alderton and have just started Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. I am keen to meet monthly for coffee or a wine and discuss books.

Reg

I am a 91-year-olda man. I had a story to tell, and no one to tell it to, therefore I wrote it as a book using an imaginary family. I am a veteran of the Air Force, who was only seven when the www11 began. I came from the Eastend near the docks of London, a poor family and poor education. I learned the hard way from books recovered from bombed-out houses and shops sold them on. There is little more I can say.

A Tale for the Time Being

by Ruth Ozeki | Buy this book

A Hello Kitty lunchbox washes ashore containing a treasure trove of mysteries—past and present, fact and fiction, history and myth, and a bit of quantum physics.

PseudoBelle

I am looking for a book club that meets on the weekends and is enthusiastic about discussing books. I love reading fantasy and romance books but I am willing to venture into it other genres.

PseudoBelle recommends:

Ella Enchanted

by Gail Carson Levine | Buy this book

A unique, feminist take on the tale of Cinderella. Its worldbuilding is gorgeous and it is as realistic as it can get when it portrays a healthy romance.

BookishMedic

Late 30s female, work full time and keen to be held accountable with maintaining a (mindful and reflective!) reading habit!

Sofi

Hello! I'm a young Italian girl studying at the University of Roehampton. I love reading all types of books (especially novels) and enjoy talking in cozy cafes or lovely parks (such as Richmond Park). I'm looking for some people to join me and share their own books recommendations :)

Kitchen

by Banana Yoshimoto | Buy this book

In just a hundred pages it deeply connects you to the story and characters, allowing you to relate to the story while simultaneously exposing some of the most common feelings for young adults, such as loneliness

TStep97

Hi there, I'm a 26 year-old who's relatively new to the area and looking for a book group to aid in meeting people with similar interests. My reading history is something of a melting point: lots of classics with a particular affinity to Dumas, Wilde and Capote but also regularly reading fantasy (GRR Martin, Stephen King, Tolkien). I'm based in NW London (Maida Vale) so would love to be able to discuss books with like-minded people.

TStep97 recommends:

The Three Musketeers

by Alexandre Dumas | Buy this book

Thought this book was great, loved the adventures of the three musketeers and finished within a week.

Tom

I recently just caught the reading bug again and don't want to lose it! Managed to finish off One Hundred Years of Solitude in just a few days and would definitely be down for joining a local book club or getting some recommendations. I am mainly based in Elephant and Castle.

Manize

Enjoy reading & listening to audiobooks. Looking to share experiences and perspectives on these with others locally & make new friends
