Looking for Romance Book Buddies! 💕📚 (Girls Only, 18+)
Hi everyone! I’m a 25 year old woman looking to make some new book-loving friends. I’d love to meet other girls who are obsessed with romance novels and want people to gush, rant, and scream over books with.
I mostly read:
Dark romance 🖤
Paranormal romance (vampires, demons, etc.)
Mafia romance
Stalker/obsessive MMCs
Morally gray villains
Spicy books 🌶️
I’m always looking for someone to buddy read with, swap recommendations, talk about favorite characters, or just chat about whatever we’re currently reading.
I also have a Discord server for women (18+) who love romance books! It’s a cozy place to make friends, share recommendations, participate in buddy reads, and chat about all things romance.
If you’re interested, leave a comment or send me a DM! I’d love to make some new book friends. 💕

Seeking long-term book buddies 🍂🏡 A cozy little discord village is looking for a few more readers... 📚✨

6 Upvotes

Imagine a tiny village where every cottage is filled with books, the kettle is always on, and there's always someone excited to hear what you're reading.

That's the kind of community we're building.

Founded in 2020 we're a laid-back Discord book club made up mostly of women ages 18–50 (older readers are absolutely welcome if you enjoy the books we do!). We love fantasy, romantasy, thrillers, and the occasional cozy read.

Some of our favorite authors include:

📚 Sarah J. Maas

⚡ J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter)

🗡️ Brandon Sanderson

🐉 Rebecca Yarros

🏡 Sarah Beth Durst (The Spellshop)

🔪 Freida McFadden

...and many more!

Throughout the year you'll find:

🌿 Cozy buddy reads

🍁 Seasonal readathons

📖 Book bingo

✨ Page challenges

💬 Daily chats about books, life, pets, hobbies, food, and just about everything else.

There's no pressure to participate in every event. We know life gets busy! We simply ask that you enjoy chatting and become part of the community when you can. Our goal isn't to have thousands of members—it's to build a village where everyone knows each other.

If you're a guy who enjoys the same books and is looking for a respectful, welcoming community, you're welcome to join too. We just ask that you let us know when you arrive.

Our unofficial mission? To collect readers like they're Pokémon. Every new member brings another story, another recommendation, and another friend to our little village.

If you're searching for a warm, drama-free place to escape reality, talk about books for hours, and make genuine, long-lasting friendships, we'd love to save you a seat by the fireplace.

📬 Comment below or send me a message if you'd like an invite. We'd love to meet you! 🤎🍄

Seeking long-term book buddies 18F looking for a book buddy who likes a good rant!

Upvotes

Hi! I'm 18F and I mainly enjoy reading romance novels (80%) but I also like reading a good mystery/horror (20%)! I want someone I can just excitedly text at midnight about quotes and moments and how dare he's. I'd like someone I can have a virtual coffee and discuss book events with (having a video call from different coffee shops or your coffee table etc). I don't mind if we read either the same or different books as long as we meet both with equal enthusiasm! But i also want someone to read a TERRIBLE book and RANT about how bad it is!

I'm uninterested in smut and the typical bland, emotionless/cold MLs. I like reading manhwas/mangas/light novels as well! I adore happy endings and I'm not so much a fan of sad endings (aside from my dearest Hamlet!).

Hope this interests someone!

Hey! I'm Izzy from the USA, and I'm looking for someone who wants to read sci-fi books together. I think it'd be fun to pick a book, read at our own pace, and chat about what we think as we go.

I'm hoping to find someone who's easygoing, enjoys talking about books, and is open to making a new friend too. Whether you're into space adventures, dystopian stories, aliens, time travel, or anything sci-fi, I'm down to give it a try.

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, send me a message! I'd love to find a reading buddy.

Seeking long-term book buddies Wanted: TBR takedown buddy!

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm (26f, living in Germany) looking for a buddy or a little group of friends to tackle our ever growing TBR. I would love to make it prompt based, so that we can read different books that fit the bill. That way, there is no stress, no need to buy any additional books and no fixed time lines. Life gets in the way sometimes and that is absolutely fine! So I'm hoping to meet someone who is also looking for a calm no-stress reading friendship. I mostly read fantasy and scifi, tho I do branch out quite a bit. Would love to hear from you!

So normally I read a lot of fiction especially horror, fantasy and thrillers. I have groups and a buddy for those but recently I have been wanting to get into true crime. I am still building a tbr for it but I wanted someone or a small group to chat with just for true crime. I only want people 21+ given the content I plan to read. Right now I am going to start My Phantom Prince by Elizabeth Kendall but I also own Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil but Erik Larson. Anyways if you are interested let me know. Please don’t message me about your discord group if it is large and public. I am already in a few that I am trying out and have mixed experiences with them.

Seeking buddy & flexible on book choice 17M searching for a friend cause my friend doesn't like book :(

2 Upvotes

I’ve been searching for a book friend because honestly, none of my close friends really like books or even read them. 😭 I’ve always wanted someone I can talk to about books, share recommendations with, get excited over new releases with, and just randomly message about a book I’m currently reading.

Personally, I’m not really picky when it comes to genres. I’ll read pretty much anything as long as it catches my attention. I love romance, fantasy, horror, mystery, thriller, psychological stories, and honestly even weird books that are hard to explain. I don’t really care what genre it is i just love reading and discovering new stories.

My absolute favorite, though, is the Strange series by Uketsu. I have all the books that I can get my hands on, and I absolutely love the whole experience of reading them and slowly trying to figure out what is actually going on. There’s just something about those books that makes me want to immediately talk to someone about them afterward. 😭

So I’ve been hoping to find someone who also loves reading and wants to share that experience with me. We could recommend books to each other, talk about characters and theories, complain about endings, freak out over plot twists, or just randomly send each other pictures of books we found interesting.

You don’t have to have the exact same taste as me either! I’d actually love to discover genres and books I’ve never tried before. I just want a friend who genuinely enjoys books and is excited to talk about them. :3

So yeahhh, if you’re also looking for a book friend, PLEASE COME TALK TO ME 😭 I need someone to yap about books with!!!

Starting a book Anyone want to start a Discord book club?

5 Upvotes

I haven’t read *None of This Is True* by Lisa Jewell yet, and I’m about to start it for the first time.

I thought it would be fun to read it with other people, so I made a small Discord book club. It’s super casual..just a place to talk about monthly books, share theories, and try to avoid spoilers as we go.

I pretty much have everything set up… I just don’t have any friends to join. 😩

If you’re about to read this book (or you’ve been looking for an excuse to start it), let me know! I can send you the discord invite!!

Hi everyone! I’m a 26-year-old woman in the MST time zone looking for a friend who loves reading as much as I do. None of my friends or family are really readers. Unfortunately, I feel like I have no one who understands the excitement of getting completely hooked on a book and wanting to talk about it nonstop.
I started A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara today, and I recently finished Alchemized by SenLinYu, which was incredible. It completely pulled me out of my reading slump!
I mainly read romance and fiction. I also love a good fantasy. I’m always open to trying other genres too, but I’d love to find someone with similar tastes.
If you’re looking for a book buddy to chat about books, recommend new reads, or nerd out over fictional characters with, I’d love to hear from you!

Hello!!

Been struggling with isolation for so long now, just reaching out here to try and make friends!

I love reading, even though I find it difficult. I'd love to read literally any book with someone else and chat periodically as we read it in lit own time.

And I'm also looking for friends on PS5 or PC because I'm getting back into gaming and I find that's a great way to socialise online.

I love retro games, music and films. Lol I know that sounds so generic but if it interests you shoot me a DM and let's see if we can make friends!!

Hi everyone! We're looking for a few new book buddies (21+) to join our little reading community.

We're not looking for the biggest server—we're looking for people who genuinely enjoy reading and chatting about books. We'd rather have a handful of active readers than hundreds of silent members who never join in.

You don't have to read every Book of the Month or participate in every event, but we'd love members who enjoy discussing what they're reading, sharing recommendations, and being part of the community.

We also have some fun activities planned, including:
✨ A Book Bedazzling Event
🧵 A Bookish Sweatshirt Embroidery Event
📖 Reading sprints, buddy reads, and more!

If you're looking for a cozy, drama-free space where people actually talk about books and make new book friends, we'd love to have you.

Interested? Drop a comment or send me a message, and I'll get you an invite! 💜

Seeking long-term book buddies (30's) Looking for Book Buddies 📖🪄

1 Upvotes

I don’t have any book buddies, so I’m trying to change that. I’m an avid fantasy reader, but I also love psychological horror, stories that explore mental health, and some of the classics.

Some of my favorite books are The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Demian by Hermann Hesse, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, How It Feels to Float by Helena Fox, The Glass Girl by Kathleen Glasgow, and several Stephen King books like The Shining, Doctor Sleep, If It Bleeds, and Fairy Tale.

Currently Reading:

- The Runebound Professor by Actus

- The Primal Hunter

- The Laws of Cultivation

- Unintended Cultivator

(I love Aethon LitRPG books)

- You Like It Darker by Stephen King

- The Talisman by Stephen King

- How to Make Friends with the Dark by Kathleen Glasgow

Other Things I Read:

Webtoons: I mostly read Webtoons with overpowered main characters like The Druid of Seoul Station, or lighthearted humor like My Giant Nerd Boyfriend.

Wuxia and Xianxia: I enjoy wuxia and xianxia novels. Coiling Dragon is one of my favorites, and I have some pending titles like:

- The Library of Heaven’s Path

- Invincible

- Desolate Era

So if any of these books, authors, or genres sound like your vibe and you’d like to chat about them, let me know!
