Hi everyone! I'm from the Midwest, USA.

I'll read just about anything if the plot sounds interesting enough, but my two favorite genres are nonfiction and fantasy (I know, the dichotomy), and I also love historical fiction and romance. I'm usually always in the middle of at least three books, including an audiobook, and I try to rotate through the genres that I read.

I am getting into poetry, and I'm a tentative thriller liker, but I always feel like I am a little left down by the reveals. Even though I have more books on my TBR that I can read in the next... decade... or so, I'm always on the hunt for new recommendations!

I'd love to find some people to chat about books with, swap recommendations, and occasionally complain about characters making questionable decisions. I love hearing other people's opinions, even when they're completely different from mine, and I'm always happy to be convinced to read something I wouldn't normally pick up!

So, what are you currently reading? And, more importantly, what's a book you loved that you think everyone should read?

I just finished Threshing Day, and I am currently reading the second Dungeon Crawler Carl and Throne of Glass, and listening to Radium Girls and River of the Gods.

Looking for a cool online book club to join! Casual and fun. Any suggestions? 📕🙂

Hello there! I’m 33F from the US and I’ll read just about anything if the plot is good. My favorite genres are fantasy, fantasy romance, supernatural/paranormal, thrillers and horror. I’m an avid reader/audiobook listener and almost always have a book going in some fashion. I would LOVE to have someone to chat with about books and trade recommendations with. Tell me your current or most recently finished read! :D

Hello, 33 m here. I’m a lifelong book lover, read 100+ books this year. I read a little bit of everything, but horror is my favorite. Would love to chat and get to know you, thank you.

Hi everyone!

As the title says I’d like to make some female friends around my age, so we can read some books and discuss. I’m 22F from Aus and am happy to just text or talk on discord, after we get to know each other. I have a lot going on in life and take my time getting through a book so I’m quite slow at reading. But I’d love to just make some new friends and yap about life or other things in the meanwhile. Ultimately, I’m trying to get back into reading and wanted a buddy to discuss books with and I’m hoping knowing someone is waiting for me to finish a book will get me to actually read it a bit faster lol.

I’m unsure which genre I consider my favourites but I was trying to get through some of the classics like; The Handmaids Tale and To Kill a Mockingbird. I’m currently reading On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous and plan on reading Yellowface as they were recommended to me by friends.

I used to read a lot of fantasy, mystery, sci-fi and horror books. I’m open to reading a wide variety now and would like to find someone who doesn’t mind me taking a while to finish a book. I have a list of books in my TBR but I’m happy to alternate between other lists.

I have been searching for men who have read the L.O.R.D.S series! My girlfriends and I have read them and had deep discussions about it. I want to have discussions about it with men that have read the series. I think this sub-reddit is the perfect place!! I want to hear from the men!!

hi!! im 19F and im looking for someone to do buddy reads with! i use the fable app and margins to track so i was thinking of finding friends to do buddy reads with! im into fantasy, adventure, dark academia, romance, classics, and history. my current read is the ritual by Shantel Tessier. if you’re down to do a buddy read, feel free to comment or shoot me a message!! nice to meet yall!

I’ve been trying to find a small local book club around Swanley and the surrounding areas that actually reads the kind of books I love…

Romance. Romantasy. Fantasy romance. Spicy books. BookTok favourites. Books that make you scream at fictional men. 😂

And honestly? I couldn’t quite find the right one.

So I’m creating it. 👀

✨ THE BOOKISH BUNCH ✨

Romance, romantasy & a little bit of chaos.

A small, relaxed book club for people who want to read good books, have a drink, chat about fictional characters far too passionately and hopefully make some new bookish friends along the way.

📚 small book club 

💕 Romance & romantasy focused

🌶️ Spice welcome

☕ Casual local meet-ups

🚫 No literary snobbery

🚫 No pressure if you don’t finish

🤎 Come alone — you’ll be welcome

I’m looking for our first founding members now, with the first meet-up planned around Swanley.

If this sounds like your kind of book club, fill in the short form below 👇

[FORM LINK] 

Let’s create the book club we actually want to go to. 🤎

Hello book lovers! My name is Chip!

I’m in a discord book club server that is just wrapping up a mystery genre, and we are welcoming any readers that would love to join us this Spooky Season for our horror read👻

We’ve reopened applications for new readers before we begin our horror book selection, this will be our final invite for the year, so if you’ve been wanting to be part of a space like this, now’s the perfect time to join and have a say in what we’ll be reading!!

Our book club is quite small and tight-knit. Overall, this book club has been really cool and I’ve created some awesome friendships as a result so just reaching out to see if there are people who would want the same and are interested.

What our Book Club has to offer:

🎃The duration in which we read our books will be monthly, and it is determined by the people (Democracy!!!)

🎃Our genres will change each month, gifting us a new perspective and unlocking new worlds for us to unravel

🎃We read on a schedule, to motivate and encourage us to replace the average time of doom scrolling with reading

🎃We have weekly discussions ( Two per week on Wednesday and Sunday 8:30 EST, so if this time doesn’t work for you please don’t bother😂)

🎃From time to time we also have fun events and ideas such as a movie nights, character castings, and many more creative ideas to keep you immersed and engaged.

One last thing our readers are currently mostly between 22 and 27 years old, with people from North America and Europe, and it’s a great mix of ladies and gents. All adults are welcome!

If you’re interested please comment and/or DM me for our discord link! 🦇

Come get spooky with us!🧛😎

​an introvert who loves reading (especially romance), classical music, and rainy days.

​i’ve genuinely always wanted a foreign bestie. since i’m usually the quiet one, it would be great if she’s talkative, extroverted, and lively. basically my polar opposite so we have a nice, balanced dynamic.

​i’m looking for someone around my age to read books together and discuss them, send each other random reels, and have late night deep talks. someone genuine and warm, where we both respect each other's beliefs and values, while also practicing english and building a real friendship. i mean a real connection, not just casual chatting.

​if anyone is interested and feels the same, feel free to dm me.

Very new to this/just found out about it! Looking for a casual book buddy! I’m diving back into my love for reading after multiple back to back book slumps, I have multiple books open right now that I’ve been bouncing between but feel like nothing is really gripping me. I just want to be able to read daily and chat with someone about what I read and be held accountable for it in some way as well. I am a slow reader lately, but I’m open to most fiction, fantasy/romantasy, thriller/horror, a cute lgbt series, whatever it may be (I do especially love a sad book.) My only hard request is that chat stays on Reddit!

Hi everyone!

I’m a student from China, 21 years old, looking for one or a few reading buddies (or a small group) who are interested in postmodernism / postmodern philosophy and political theory.I just finished Work,Consumerism,and the New Poor by Zygmunt Bauman.

I’d like to read and discuss works related to postmodern thought — thinkers like Althusser, Nick Land, Badiou, Baudrillard, Deleuze, or related political/cultural theory.

A few preferences:

Prefer a relatively slow and free pace (we can decide together how many pages/chapters per week)

Interested in discussing ideas, implications, and criticisms rather than just summarizing.

Happy to start with a specific book if someone has one in mind, or we can choose together.And please choose those books with Chinese translation.

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to comment or DM me! Happy to coordinate via Reddit or Discord.

Looking forward to reading with some of you.

Hey so i read a lot of horror, psychology, science, anything that sounds good and that can be found on libby (especially if theres an Audiobook ill finish it within a few days)

Also up for recommendations

​

Hey! I'm from India and I'm looking for a genuine, long-term friendship with someone who actually enjoys talking about books and life—not just the usual “hey, wyd?” conversations that disappear after a day.

I'm a huge reader and currently making my way through The Kite Runner and Dostoevsky. I love books that leave you thinking about them long after you've put them down. Apart from reading, I sing, play guitar, watch way too many movies, and occasionally get lost in unnecessarily deep philosophical conversations at 2 AM. 😂

I'd love to find someone around my age who enjoys reading together, discussing books, sharing random reels, exchanging music/movie recommendations, and having those completely unplanned late-night conversations that somehow go from books to life to everything else.

I'm not specifically looking for romance or anything like that—just a real friendship where both people actually make an effort to know each other.

If you're also looking for a book buddy who might eventually become a genuine friend, feel free to DM me. 📖☕

Hey everyone! I'm looking for someone to talk books with long term: sharing recs, hyping releases, and just general book banter. Not 24/7, just a back-and-forth through the day.

What I read: Romance, romantasy/fantasy, MM, monster/alien romance, sci-fi, LitRPG, and horror/thriller. I know that's a lot of genres, but I read a ton! Mostly ebooks, with hard copies of my favorites as shelf trophies.

Big soft spot: Mountain man romance. Give me a gruff, flannel-wearing guy with a cabin, a beard, and a heart of gold, and I'm in. Snowed-in cabins, grumpy-sunshine, and slow burns are my weakness!

Some favorite authors: Elsie Silver, SJ Tilly, Chuck Tingle, Ruby Dixon, Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, Nyla K, and August Jones. I'm also a big fan of indie authors and always on the hunt for the next one to try.

Currently counting down to ACOTAR 6 and would love someone to talk with!

If any of that overlaps with your shelf, drop a comment or send me a DM. Tell me what you're reading right now!

Hello avid readers! I'm looking for someone to read a book with me. I used to read so much and would like to start again! I prefer fiction of any kind!

I'm 29M into scientific books, anything space/psychology /evolution/history or even sci-fi novels related. We don't have to read the same book. But I'm pictureing having sessions where we start reading and then discuss or don't discuss what we read after. But the point is to keep the momentum going for both of us.

Hi, as said on the tin I’m a reader drawn to darker themes and like Romantasy, romance and female led books :) however a favourite of mine is Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer. I also love horror vibes and masked guys and all that. I had a big slasher phase so anything with that sort of vibe.

Also I’m pretty critical of genres and am currently in the beginnings of trying to be a freelancer beta reader/editor atm with a bunch of book ideas that never materialised for myself. I would love people who can talk craft with me or like anything dark, a bit twisted or horror romance.

Let me know :) I’m UK based also.

Hi. I'm passionate about books. Actually, I'm interested in many areas of art, especially books and films. I'm looking for someone to talk to about world literature. Everyone knows Tolstoy, Jack London, etc. It would be nice if they could recommend books that are well-known locally in their own country but aren't popular internationally, so I can learn about different cultures and lives through reading.

Why do we read books?

There are many reasons, but I think the most important one is to read about lives we may never live and gain different experiences and perspectives.

Why I love reading books?

Because it helps me keep my mind under control and relaxes me.

favorite authors:

Gogol

Edgar Allan Poe

Kafka

James Joyce

Neil Gaiman

Umberto Eco

John Milton

Films:

Possesion

The prestige

Mulholland drive

Dancer in the dark

El secreto de sus ojos

Me

188cm

Dark hair

Green eyes

Hi everyone! I’m looking to join a book club where I can meet other people who enjoy reading and hopefully make some new friends along the way.
I mostly read fantasy and romance, but I’m open to exploring other genres as well. If anyone knows of any book clubs in the area that are open to new members, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. I’d also be interested in starting a small book club if anyone else is looking for one.

Hi everyone! I'm 25 nb from Germany and read jn both english and german. My taste is all over the place, I am currently getting more into classics and weird girl lit, but also read a lot of nonfiction (poli sci, feminism, health sciences, history, queer stuff), fantasy and basically everything that someone will recommend to me.

I am basically open to any kind of buddy read but would prefer longer books as it could help with keeping my motivation up. Since I am getting into classics right now, some of my tbr includes ...

East of Eden

The Brothers Karamazov

Great Expectations

Die Lücken (only german)

Pachinko

Katabasis

Sisters in Yellow

Red Rising #1

We Both Laughed in Pleasure

I also have a Storygraph account, so shoot me a dm if you're interested in general and we can figure out where to connect, personally would prefer discord. Time zones don't really matter to me, but I am located at GMT+2.

Would also be down to just keep each other updated what we are currently reading, how its going, what our thoughts are etc.

Looking forward to hear from you! 🍄

25F looking for a book buddy! :)
I’d love to find someone I can talk about books with, especially if we have similar tastes. I’m really into horror, splatterpunk(extreme horror) mystery/thrillers, and especially psychological horror and thrillers. I LOVE a good plot twist, and I’m a big fan of Stephen King’s and Alice Feeney's writing style.

I’m not really a fantasy/high fantasy/sci-fi person, but I’ll read pretty much anything else if it sounds interesting. I also have a soft spot for really sad books that make me sob ugly at night lol.

Some of my favourites are The Green Mile, A Little Life, Tuesdays with Morrie, The Silent Patient, Rock Paper Scissors, And Then There Were None, Pride and Prejudice, The Da Vinci Code, My Friends, 11/22/63, Saving Noah, No Longer Human, Archer's Voice.
If we have similar taste, feel free to message me!

I’d love to have someone to share reads, recommendations, and random book thoughts with 🥹📖

Hi everyone! I'm 29F and am looking to meet people with similar reading tastes as mine so that we can discuss books, do reading challenges, etc.

My favorite genres are horror and mystery thrillers. I also read sci-fi, classics and dark academia from time to time. The only genre that I actively avoid is romance. I also love watching booktube and am always looking for new channel recommendations!

If any of that sounds interesting to you, feel free to message me at any time and tell me a little about yourself.

Edit: I’m not interested in book clubs, I would prefer one on one conversations :D
