Hi, my name is Maureen and I would like to join a book club as reading is something I do a lot. I would love to meet other like minded ladies to make new friends and discuss the latest book in a fun way over a cup of tea or any other drink. Any time of the day would be great.

Ellie1066 (Colchester)

I'm in my early 20's and not into the usual scene for my age group, so wanted to try and branch out in other ways. I like both fiction and non-fiction reading, with a special love of dystopian and history books.

Ellie1066 recommends:

Witch & Wizard (series)
by James Patterson | Buy this book
This was my favourite book series growing up, and I've read it countless times. My first copy is close to falling apart. I love how silly it is, the world building and the way the story is told from different POV's.

Sue (Basildon)

I love reading fiction but everyone around me only reads self help, I feel when I’m finished a good read I’m itching to share my thoughts and passion about it and don’t have anyone who’s as interested. I enjoy reading gripping fiction novels, mainly thrillers and plot twists. Will read romance and fantasy but a bit more picky with these genres.

Anne (Rayleigh)

I’m a recently retired 71 year old female. I’ve always loved reading. I like most genres apart from the Mills and Boon style books. I often struggle to find a new good book after I’ve finished reading the current one so I though a book club would keep me well stocked and able to discuss the books I’ve read with like minded people.

Charlie (Braintree)

I find that all I do with my time is work and see friends but it’s all very repetitive and I feel like I don’t have any actual real hobbies, I’ve always enjoyed reading but don’t really have the motivation to actually do so, and feel like mixing with a new group of people with a topic to talk about could be fun and interesting
