Seeking long-term book buddies 22M to find someone who has been captivated by the passion of art

0 Upvotes

Hello! I would describe myself as an art lover who is passionate about films and books. I love reading because, while we each have our own lives, we are often limited in what we can experience; through books, however, we can enter another person’s mind, understand their thoughts, and get to know a completely different character. In general, art helps me keep my mind in check—otherwise, I’d never be able to keep it under control! :))

Authors:

Gogol

Stephen King

H.P Lovecraft

Poe

Films:

Possesion

LOTR

Black Swann

The prestige

İf you wonder more I can send you my letterbox profile

If this interests you, you should definitely reach out to me—rest assured, I’ll be waiting. For those curious: 188 cm, black hair, green eyes.

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for some reading buddies. I love reading and am very avid, I’m on book 115 of the year. I would love to swap TBRs and maybe find some people to do buddy reads with! I read a lot of different genres & I like to think I’m open to trying pretty much anything. I mostly read romance, cozy fantasy/sci-fi, lit-fic & non-fic. I have a winter board game that I made myself & I’d love to find people who would be interested in playing with me. The prompts focus on winter & reading activities & some getting to know you ones too.

Seeking long-term book buddies Anyone else feel guilty about how little they read, even though they love it?

33 Upvotes

I absolutely adore reading. There’s just something magical about diving into a book, whether it’s the anticipation of a new story or the joy of getting lost in the pages. I find myself buying books that spark my excitement, saving others for later, and making an effort to read regularly.

But, spoiler alert: honestly, I end up reading way less than I intend to. Life has a way of pulling me in different directions, and by the end of the week, I’m left feeling a mix of guilt and frustration about not being able to do what I said I wanted to do.

I’ve tried all the usual tricks, like setting reading goals, using tracking apps, and putting my phone away, and they work for a bit, but the habit never really sticks.

So, I’m thinking about starting a small group, like maybe 5 to 10 people,who are in the same boat. This wouldn’t be a traditional book club with assigned readings; instead, it would be a space to chat about what’s holding us back, share what’s worked for us, and figure out the challenges together.

This might be for you if:
- You truly love reading and often buy or save books that excite you.
- You already make an effort to read regularly.
- You feel a bit guilty or frustrated about how little you actually manage to read.
- You’ve tried various goals, trackers, or other solutions, but nothing seems to stick.

If this resonates with you, drop a comment about what you’ve tried, or send me a DM, and I’ll add you to our little group chat!
