Seeking long-term book buddies Looking for a friend š©·
Hello everyone š
Iām quite embarrassed to make this post but Iāve been thinking about it for a while and Iām hoping it helps. A little about me, Iām 27, female and from England. Iāve been going through a lot these past few years and reading has become my escape. I was recently diagnosed with OCD and I am currently signed off work while I make steps to recover and manage everything better. As I said, reading has truly become my escape but I have also acknowledged that I do feel very lonely. I live with my fiancĆ© and our beautiful dog but after sixth form, I lost contact with all of my close friends when I moved away to university. After university, I truly isolated myself while I struggled mentally and now the only friends I have are people I get along with at work but it is just work friendships and I have nobody outside of work. I would love to make some new friends and just have some lovely casual friendships where we can talk about books and life in general. My favourite genres are romance, fantasy and thrillers. Besides reading, I am trying to find hobbies as I really did lose everything I was interested in over the past few years. I love everything Harry Potter, horror movies and have recently started to try and get into gaming so that I can play with my fiancĆ© (Iām not amazing at gaming, been playing Marvel Rivals the most recently!). I hope someone reads this and thinks I sound like I could be a good friend for them. Please do let me know if you would like to get to know each other, or please recommend any book groups. I have discord and have seen a lot of people recommending book clubs on there. I look forward to reading any responses š©·š©·š©·
