Find Reading friends near you

Reading as a hobby is getting lost in books, whether literary fiction, thrillers, fantasy, memoirs, or whatever is on the nightstand right now. Readers bond fast because talking about a book is really talking about yourself, your values, and what moves you.

How to find people who share your love of reading

In Partnr you add Reading to your interests, set how far you'll travel, and browse nearby people who like it too. When you both show interest you can chat and make a plan.

  • Start a two-person book club and pick books in turns
  • Visit a used bookstore and buy each other a surprise read
  • Have a silent reading hangout at a park, then talk about what you read

Conversation starters for Reading friends

  • “What book have you recommended to the most people?”
  • “Are you a one-book-at-a-time reader or a five-at-once reader?”
  • “What genre do you read when you need comfort?”
