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.

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.

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.

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

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

I would like to make new friends, love reading romance, psych thrillers

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.
