Bettie (Westcliff-on-Sea)

I like reading fictions but this varies. I think the time frame can be 15 days at least as many of us busy with life

Ella (Epping)

These Violent Delights

by Chloe Gong | Buy this book

Amazing to learn about 1920s Shanghai, China. Great fantasy romance book, inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Lils (Basildon)

Love reading all sorts of genres! I do prefer Science fiction and a good zombie book! However, a gripping book is all I need. Looking to meet new people and share similar interests!

Coldbrook

by Tim Lebbon | Buy this book

The book takes you to another world. Your world no longer exists when you’re reading. It’s gripping, it’s sexy in a weird way and it’s honestly hands down the best book I’ve read. I’ve read it 3 times now!

Orla (Westcliff-on-Sea)

26 and moved to Southend recently. I enjoy fiction and a little bit of romance. I just finished reading The Rachel Incident and Green Dot . Looking to make some new friends and share an audible wish list!

Brooks (Dagenham)

I love reading and believe the saying that life is stranger than fiction. Life is a story and everyone's is a great piece of literature.

Open thoughts (Woodford Green)

A group that discusses their deeper thoughts/imaginations whenever they have read a book. An open space for discussing their emotions towards a book they love which allows for the group to experience the book in the same way. The ultimate goal is to find companions that have aligned minds or even minds that challenge each other.

Aqsa Pathan (Woodford Green)

Someone that is trying to find their way through life and bring purpose to the world at the same time

The alchemist

by Paulo coelho | Buy this book

full of wisdom and valuable lessons that can inspire us to live more purposeful and meaningful lives.

Aqsa (Woodford Green)

I have only recently taken up the hobby of reading and the more that I do I find myself to be lost in them, almost as it it’s an escape from reality but when I finish them I have no one to discuss all my thoughts and views about it. I do have a big love for romance books but I also have a big love for any fictional or non fictional books that have a bigger and impactful meaning to it.

Neilson (Southend-on-Sea)

I am a product specialist for a tech company and a film director for a passion. I love to read fiction as I can escape into a creative world. This also helps my screenwriting because I write all the time for my films. New to the area of Southend-on-Sea. I don't know anyone so I'd love to join this community and meet like minded people.

Selina77 (Southend-on-Sea)

I live a busy life - 2 children and I’m a deputy head. I love to read and need to make more time for myself so I thought I’d combine the two! I don’t often read non-fiction but would be open to it. I like paranormal, crime on occasion, some horror. In fact, as an avid reader, there isn’t much I won’t try! Looking to meet fortnightly, monthly. Whatever suits really. Would prefer local :)

Phillps (Basildon)

I would love to discuss a good read with similar minds

Annie (Colchester)

I love reading series, fantasy, autobiographies, local fiction and old gothic. Would love to read a book and discuss it with a group to see everyone's point of view.

Shannon (Braintree)

I've always read books on and off throughout my life and can be a slow reader especially if I can't get into the book. I started with the "classics", then went to crime and thriller and have recently found my way to romantasy, which might be my favourite so far. I'd like to meet like minded people who I can chat to about the books I'm loving and get recommendations for further reading.

Toby (Southend-on-Sea)

I mostly read poetry in various formats and genres, but would love to expand in to other types of reading! My most read non-poet authors are William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Would love to join a book club or discussion type group, to expand my taste and simply to just find new friends and recommendations!

Sally (Rayleigh)

I'm 66, retired through ill health some time ago. Love reading, especially in the summer in the garden. Enjoy most genres apart from real slushy

Jade (Colchester)

Ruth (Southend-on-Sea)

I’m 20 and have just moved back to southend. Looking to make friends! I enjoy reading literary fiction and translated fiction. I also enjoy writing.

Jade (Colchester)

I’m 26, looking for a way to socialise and meet new people. I love fantasy, romatasy, romance and autobiographical books but always willing to branch out. Want a way to make friends, discuss books and reading recommendations.
