Hi! I was an avid reader as a child and have finally gotten back into proper reading again this year (I’m 29). Counting down to tick 65 books read this year but am still only halfway through! Would love to join an intimate book club with quality discussions rather than a big group setting. I read all kinds of contemporary fiction and am currently reading Pachinko.

I'm 32 and just moved to Greater Manchester. Currently on a long reading stint and trying to read 52 in 2025. I read fairly broadly, enjoying classics and contemporary novels. For me, the stranger the premise the better. I value being able to discuss fiction reading in general with anyone and I'm open minded towards different tastes.

Love reading all kinds of stuff. Right now it’s romance fantasy (rofan) and manhwa, but I’m into thrillers and crime too. I'm curious by nature so also enjoy trying new things. Looking for people to talk about books with and share recommendations :)

I am 21 and I am interested in books that deal with diverse genres of history, philosophy and politics. I am also open to reading sci fi that adheres to the boundaries of imaginable reality and classic novel. Do get in touch if you are interested. I am also looking to make new friends in the process :)

Seeking a book club
Hi! I'm Ruth & I'm 30. Moved to the City Centre. I've been a reader all my life but rediscovered my love for reading 3 years ago. I don't know anyone who reads the same genres I love but I've been part of a few online book clubs. I would like to join an in person book club (or start one) to meet people who love to read the genres I enjoy. My favourite genres are Fantasy, Science Fiction & Romance. Recently discovered that I also like Mysteries & Thrillers too. Started The Count of Monte Cristo and I am loving it. See some of my favourites below :)
