GranitJ
Looking to expand my circle and hang out with some cool readers in the London area. I read primarily magical realism with a fair bit of it being from Japanese authors, mostly fiction.

I am 20 with a 1-year-old boy and will be living in London this summer. I would love to find other young people to sit, get coffee, chat about books with! I am an aspiring author writing my fourth novel and an avid reader. I enjoy historical, literary, romance but open to more! Feel free to reach out to me, I want to make connections while in London!

I am retired. I recently relocated to Highgate from Mexico and California. I would really love to join a book club for fiction in North or Central London.

I have recently moved to South London, am in my early 30s and would really like to meet new people. I've always loved reading and will happily read most genres, although I do tend to prefer fiction and would really like to join a book club.

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.

I enjoy fiction, some of my favourite English books include the Discworld series and the Kingsbridge series.

I am interested in a monthly book group. Quite like the idea of one that meets in a pub! I have always been in book groups and looking for one again so I read all sorts of different things with a much needed deadline.

i love sci-fi, but read a bit of everything! Trying to find more likeminded people
Sign in to contactMoses
Londoner based in Camberwell. I read across genres but I'm drawn to epic fantasy, crime fiction, and non-fiction that gets into how people and systems actually work. Currently deep in a fantasy series that's now 19 books and counting. Previously: Mistborn, Gentleman Bastard, Sandman, and a lot of Robert Greene. I'm joining a book club for the conversation as much as the reading. I tend to read alone and fast, but talking through a book with people who've sat with the same pages is a different experience entirely. I'd also like to be pushed toward literary fiction I wouldn't naturally reach for. Monthly meetings suit my schedule. I show up prepared.

Moonriser (South East London)
I have a broad range of books I like to read. For fiction, I really enjoy magical realism. However I just love a well written narrative and will read most works as long as they capture my imagination. For non-fiction, I love science, history, philosophy and anything about why people are who they are. I am based in South East London and would love to find fellow bookish and curious people to meet and read with and to pick apart our thoughts on books. Would love to find my reading kin! Amongst my favourite books are Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez The Psychopath Test- Jon Ronson Mythos - Stephen Fry Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind -Yuval Noah Harari

Inspyre Book Club
The Inspyre Book Club is a relaxed community reading group. We choose a book, and then people come together to talk about it over conversation, tea, and shared reflection. It’s less about analysing the book like a classroom and more about hearing different perspectives and enjoying thoughtful discussion with others who love stories.
