Emily

I’ve always loved fantasy for the way it blends imagination with deep questions about identity, power, and belonging. I’m especially drawn to stories with rich world-building, complex characters, and yes—a touch of romance never hurts.

Sara

Hey, I’m a 32 year old book worm who loves reading. Unfortunately, being an adult means I’ve had to prioritise work and personal commitments so reading has taken a back seat. I’m hoping to get back into reading while also meeting new people and hopefully forming strong friendships along the way.

Misty

I love fantasy, sapphic and classic novels. Looking to find other book loving friends in the Watford area. Ideally someone near the same age as myself (20s).

Trevor

Caroline

Concy

Hello! I have always loved reading particularly fantasy books. I remember when a book was keeping me awake as I could not stop reading it or how at times the words were creating images in my Mind almost like I was actually watching a movie. Life, work and being an adult has taken a priority in the last couple of years and I would like to enjoy again reading while also meeting people in my area since I have recently moved in Watford.

Ben

Reading is something that has taken a back seat in my life, in recent years. I’d love to get back in the habit of reading and seeking out new books. I’ve not been in a book group before but would love to start/ join one!

Jaci (Northwood)

I am in my 60s and enjoy reading. I would like to join a book club to meet new people, to read and discuss the books and be challenged and inspired by different genres

Genki

I love reading books and also love meeting new people, so meeting the two makes sense!

gabriella

’m someone who finds deep joy in exploring the world of magic and fantasy, where stories are not just an escape but a way to immerse myself in complex worlds full of imagination and meaning. I’m drawn to narratives with strong psychological depth, where characters are more than just players in the plot but fully realized individuals with layers of complexity. I love stories where I can truly go on a journey with these characters, seeing their growth, struggles, and triumphs unfold in a way that feels real and impactful. Books with well-thought-out characters, whether they’re navigating magical realms or dealing with psychological challenges, resonate with me because they feel authentic and give me the space to reflect on human nature. I appreciate when authors take the time to develop personalities that stay with you long after you’ve finished the last page. I'm excited to join a book group because I love discussing these intricate stories with others who appreciate them as much as I do. Sharing perspectives, learning how others view certain characters or themes, and getting introduced to books I might not have found on my own are all things I’m looking forward to. There’s something special about connecting with people over the stories we love.

Martin

I'm conscious that I've got out of the habit of reading, which I used to love. I want to rediscover that love but in a more thoughtful way. I've never been in a book club before, but think the right books and the right people are just what I need.

In Memoriam

by Alice Winn | Buy this book

I was totally absorbed by this novel set in WW1 - not my usual go to! Winn's vivid portrayal of the war felt authentic & powerful, with the perfect character development, highly recommend.

The Kamogawa Food Detectives

by Hisashi Kashiwai | Buy this book

I just like their ability to give back to the elderly a warm, nostalgic feeling through taste.

Rose

I love reading unfortunately most of my friends don’t, when I read an exciting book I’m always looking to analyse it with somebody hence my online search for a book club.

I am 18 years old and love reading romance, and would love to make some friends with interests like mine!

Justyna

My name is Justyna, I am 31 years old and I come from Poland. I really like reading books, but I don't have anyone here with whom I could share my hobby of reading. I like reading crime stories, romances, developmental and psychological books. I'm still trying to improve my English and I think that maybe meeting people who have similar interests would help me overcome the language barrier, but mainly meet new nice people.

Gordon

Mainly retired like reading be nice to talk about books with others.
