Silvia

Loved reading since I was a kid and used to go through 4-6 books a week! Now, I don’t read nearly as much and would love to get back into it. I just recently moved to Ruislip so also would love to meet people with similar interests as well.

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!

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