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!

Water Moon

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

BigMan17K

I very recently got into reading but find I love Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres a lot! Those and LITRPGs, although I don't know if that counts as a subcategory of one of the others. It would be really cool to meet people with similar interests and hopefully some great new recommendations.
