Reading Groups for Everyone
What is Reading Groups for Everyone?
Reading Groups for Everyone is the UK’s largest reading group network. Whether you’re already in a reading group, want to join one or looking to set one up, you’re in the right place.
Join today to discover your next great read, get free books to read and review before anyone else, enter competitions to meet authors and take part in great giveaways.
Who is it for?
Our reading group network is for everyone. The book clubs meet in all kinds of places and are made up of all kinds of people. The one thing they have in common is that they love reading and talking about books.
We know how important reading for pleasure is and the positive difference it makes to our lives. Reading groups are a great way to make friends, feel connected and empowered to try books you’d never have come across otherwise.
Our Research
Through our original research with book clubs across the UK we discovered that 94% of people asked read more widely and felt more connected to others thanks to their reading group.
We hosted 7,873 reading groups across the UK in 2022-23
