WayneB (Harwich)
I have recently written my first short story. I have had the idea in my heads for over 10 years and worked on it in fragments. My step-son did a film degree and started me on this path. Originally I was writing a screenplay for him to look at making but as i recently got into more i decided my turn it into a story. I have been off work recently due to operations. This has given me the time to revisit the story. I do not have any school qualification as I dont complete school. I know my spelling and grammar need work but my wife and step-son have been helpful, albeit maybe a little biase. I would like to know where my story lands and how other people do theirs.

I'm 39, drifted apart from people and the friends I have left I rarely see so looking to meet new people. I spend all my time reading so a great way would be to join a book club! I read pretty much anything but I do love a psychological thriller

Sign in to contactDani (Basildon)
Hi! I recently moved to Basildon and the area is completely new to me. I was looking for a book club and ended up here. :) In my 20s I used to read lots of fantasy and classic literature, now (30 something) I mostly read fiction, self development, thriller and romance books but I am a bookworm at heart and very open minded about recommendations! Would love to meet new people that share my love for books and art in general, maybe create a new book club at the local library or coffee shops. Feel free to message me if you’d be interested to form a book club in Basildon ☺️

Kirsty (Maldon)
I've very much enjoyed being part of a book group as it has encouraged me to read a range of authors and genres. I'm always surprised how many different view points there can be on each book! I've now moved locations and would love to meet and discuss with others locally.

Maggie (Woodford Green)
I am such a big book lover, recently finding my passion again for it in the within the last 2 years. My favourite genre is thriller, a big fan of Riley Sager, Freida McFadden, Jennifer Hillier, Karin Slaughter... Too be honest the list is endless. I am 33 years old in a relationship but living on my own with my small dog Layla. I am happy to host a book club or become part of a current one. Also open to trying new genres if anyone has any recommendations. Would really love to relay my passion of reading onto other and be able to open discussions regarding much loved reads of mine.

BookDragon83 (Dagenham)
I have quite an eclectic taste in books, I am currently in my Romantasy Era. I enjoy the classics, Austen, Bronte, Dickens and still love a bit of young adult Romantasy too. I love collecting sprayed edge books but also enjoy reading on my kindle and personalising it with inserts and stickers. Would love to discuss books and recommendations to add to my ever growing TBR.
