Mima

I was a complete bookworm during high school and college, growing up reading Jaqueline Wilson and being part of the magical world of Harry Potter but as I got older, life and social media completely consumed me. However that feeling I get from reading a book, has never changed and I would love to have people to share their thoughts and feelings when reading the same book as myself. I’m a fiction reader who loves a bit of romance (mainly the comedy form), mystery/thriller, mythological, historical and literary realism.

As Long As The Lemon Tree Grows

by Zoulfa Katouh | Buy this book

If you liked ‘Kite Runner’, you will definitely love this book. There is a certain rawness about the way Zoulfa has written the book, it makes you feel like you’re walking alongside the main character, cheering her on as she navigates the harshness of what life offers her. The literary realism of this book is what makes you carry on reading, not wanting to put it down as you wish for the fairytale happy ending to counteract the despondency of real life.

Meg

Hi! I am 23, new to reading. I started as a way to improve my dyslexia and fell in love! I enjoy fantasy and romance and the occasional smut book. I'm looking for a way to meet new like minded people and try something new.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Buy this book

Throughout the whole book the descriptions on the characters, the kingdom and everything were just perfection. So many changes throughout that you just can't predict. This book is the sole reason I love to read and the best book ever!

Maria

I like romance and adventure, also autobiographies of interesting people. I’d like to meet-up preferably once a week. I am looking to expand my book genres as well, I’m open-minded. :)

Twisted Love

by Ana Huang | Buy this book

The Twisted series consists of four books and it talks about four best friends’ lives in each one. I love Ana’s writing style and she never fails to disappoint ❤️

Sarah

Hello, 33 year old here hoping to meet new people who actually want to talk about books! I was a big reader when I was younger and have recently got back into it after a very long slump. My tastes are eclectic however I’m finding that my favourite is fantasy (which is a new realisation so I have many to read!)

Sarah recommends:

Temeraire

by Naomi Novik | Buy this book

Set in the napoleonic era with a flair of fantasy.

The plague charmer

by Karen Maitland | Buy this book

A brilliant historical fiction. If you are inclined to listen to audiobooks then I would especially recommend as the performance is 5/5!

Katiejo

I predominantly read mystery crime thrillers and psychological thrillers but I do enjoy a dystopian book every so often and true crime novels as well!

Rebecca

24 years old, getting back into reading and trying to build a bit of a social life!

Rebecca recommends:

Gone Girl

by Gillian Flynn | Buy this book

One of those thrillers that’s hard to put down - the film adaptation is great too!

Looking For Alaska

by John Green | Buy this book

This was my favourite book as a teenager and definitely deserves a feature here.

The Handmaid’s Tale

by Margaret Atwood | Buy this book

This is a book I fell in love with after reading it in college for one of my A-Levels. Moving, empowering and infuriating all in one. Also has an incredible TV series adaptation!

Annie

I have recently got into reading books. I like thriller horror and fantasy! I have not read many but would love to read more

Hi. My name is Beth and I’m 27. I love to read all genres, but my favourites would be horror, thriller and fantasy. I am looking to make some new friends and get to discover some new books :)

Steve

Always find these parts of the profile difficult to fill in but here goes! I'm in my early 40's and and have become a little more reserved as I have got older but still enjoy socialising with friends going to the cinema and all those things.

Steve

Enjoy sci-fi, crime fiction, drama and dystopian novels. Also like to read true life stories and biographical topics and books that tackle social issues and/or injustice. Over the last 5 years or so reading has been my go to activity. it would be great to be part of a wider book group of like minded people who would like read similar genres.

Sharniealishia

Would love to make some new bookish friends and join a book group to meet up. I'm a 30 year old mostly reading fantasy/romantacy/ya

Love books, want to meet other book lovers, get some good titles and generally spend some free time with like-minded people. Please note, that English is not my first language.

Isla

Hi, im open to reading most genres but a bit of a sucker for classics and have been recently getting into philosophical works. I'd like to meet people who would be down for a book and a drink (coffee or whatever).

CalicoSoneji

I like reading horror/dark as well as the classic but I’ll give anything a go really! I love a book that can make me cry 😅 Would love to make friends with people who also love to read :)

The Chrysalids

by John Wyndham | Buy this book

I loved this book as a kid and recently re read it and loved it all over again. Exciting science fiction story with the age old dangers of treating people badly because of their differences with heart wrenching moments along the way.

Katoodle

I'm looking to hopefully make some new friends and share the excitement of the story with. I'm 36, and seem to have completely isolated myself over the years of being a mother. I like reading fantasy romance and dark fantasy romance novels. Would love someone to share a book with and possibly make a new friend.

Kelly

I like romance and stories with a happy ending. Don't mind some angst on the way but like to shut off from stressed of the real world and know all will be ok in the end. I don't mind erotica in a book too.

Emily6822!

Looking to make friends with some book lovers. I mainly read fantasy and romance 🥰

Claire

Looking to join book club near me

Kate

Hi I'm 29 and I'm looking to get back into reading after a long while and looking to meet some new people along the way to share the reading journey with 😊

Emily

I am a nerdy person looking for new friends, I have loved reading since I was young and have read all sorts. I am currently loving dark surrealist novels with a touch of fantasy and the occasional historical fiction.
