I LOVE a good Romance Fantasy book! I'm looking for a book group that wants to chat about books they have read and what they love (and don't love) about them. I would just love to talk about all the books I have read and get recommendations!

ElRi (Basildon)

I live in the Basildon area and have really been wanting to get back into reading, I am predominately into fantasy, thriller, but honestly anything! My friend when I was younger bought me the “books to read before you die” bookmark and I think this is what kickstarted my love!

RUILO (Southend-on-Sea)

Used to be a book worm as a kid, now I'm just looking to pick up an interesting book and talk about it with others. The types of books I fancy are fantasy, magic, scifi, romance, drama, slice of life. I'm Not sure if all of these count entirely as book genres. Not sure how this works, but send me a message, I'm looking to pick up a book and chat about it. Bit of fun. Bit of socialising, creating that "third space". And if it matters, I'm turning 23 soon.

JKDM (Ilford)

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve recently become a bit book-obsessed 😅 and I’m really enjoying getting back into reading. I tend to love romance books, especially ones with strong characters, a bit of drama, or emotional storylines. I also enjoy cosy, feel-good reads like café-style books when I want something more relaxing. I’m looking to join a book group to interact with like-minded people, share recommendations, and discover new books I wouldn’t usually pick myself. I’d love a relaxed, friendly group where we can chat about books and just enjoy reading together.

Filthy Rich Vampire

by Geneva Lee | Buy this book

It’s really addictive and easy to get into, with a strong, powerful male lead and a lot of tension and chemistry. The story mixes romance with a darker, supernatural vampire world, which makes it feel exciting but still very easy to read. It’s one of those books that keeps you hooked and wanting to know what happens next.

The way the story is written and how it takes you on a journey is incredible. You will be rooting for the main characters along the way.

I hope that you are all keeping well. I am just posting this to say that i have read through several of your comments and I can see that there are many of us who would like to join a Basildon Book group. Therefore, I will pop into Basildon library to enquire about setting one up. If they agree, I will post the details on here as well as seeing about putting a poster up in the library to advertise. Looking forward to seeing if we can get one set up Kind regards Tracy D

Hi I'm Carly, a 41 year old that has recently found a love of reading again. I've been reading thrillers and my favourite authors are freida McFadden and Lisa jewell. I moved to Witham from Halstead in that dreaded year (2020) but due to being disabled and finding it hard to get out I haven't made many friends in the area. I would love to meet new people to chat to about books and other things and maybe discover a new author or two

The witchfinders sister

by Beth Underwood | Buy this book

It a book about Mathew Hopkins, told from the point of view of his fictional sister Alice. Although the book is fictional the author clearly spent a long time researching as it is full of facts. It is set in manningtree mostly but you visit lots of different places with the characters.
