Hey! I’m 26 (female) and obsessed with horror, crime, mystery, and thrillers. Always down to swap recs or dive into new genres—open to just about anything if it keeps me turning pages! Anyone down to read some of these genres together? Can be online or in person x I just need someone to talk about some of these shocking reads with 😫

Hi, i'm 23 and I've been obsessed with reading my whole life! I love mysteries, psychological thrillers and crime books but in-between reading those, I like to unwind with a chick-lit/lighthearted romance book. I have also been loving reading general fiction books these past couple of years, specifically more emotional/sad ones. Some of my favourite authors are Holly Jackson, Jodi Picoult, Alice Feeney, and John Marrs. I'm looking to join a relaxed book group, to meet likeminded individuals who share my love of reading! :)

Ayesha
Hi my names ayesha i love reading feel good books and romance books. I’d love to join a book group because I’m looking for a way to connect with others in a meaningful, low-pressure setting. I spend most of my time working as a nurse, which can be rewarding but also isolating, and I miss having regular conversations that aren’t just about work. I enjoy reading and would love the chance to share thoughts, laugh, and listen with people who also find comfort and inspiration in books.

Sign in to contactRomi
Hi! I’m Romi – I teach Spanish and English and love all things language, literature, and philosophy. Big fan of short, powerful stories (Hemingway, Carver, Borges). I moved to Manchester three years ago, but with lots of back and forth, I’m only just settling in — and still don’t know many people here. Would love a literature meet-up or book club!

Yvonne
I want an excuse to read a book and share that experience with someone else. We go for meals and go to the cinema them chat after or during that experience. I want to do that with people about books. I'm curious, chatty and want to develop a social life or friendships starting with a book. Ideally, I'm keen to explore the experiences of black people, black women but I'll grow from there.
Sign in to contactChloe
Hello! My name is Chloe, I'm 28- I've just spent 6 months living at home after living in London for 4 years and now I'm making the move to Manchester as I just accepted a new job there. This year, I got back into reading and I love it! I've read 32 books so far this year but want to expand the genres I read and would love to connect to like-minded people who also love reading. My current favourite genres would be: thrillers, mythology-based fiction, fantasy and historical fiction but I'm looking to expand this! I would love to join a small, cosy book club in Manchester or in the surrounding areas!
