The Collector

by John Fowles | Buy this book

Though a controversial book, the way it's written is really fantastic

Maureen78 (Harwich)

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.

Abigailelise (Brentwood)

I’m 19 and i’m a diehard romance lover!!! Never really ventured out of this, although i do love a good murder mystery!! Looking for bookish friends :)

Shannon (Basildon)

I’m 20 years old and love to read romance and a little fantasy. No one around me really reads so dying to be able to share my thoughts with someone who has the same passion for reading as me ☺️

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.

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.

LostinBooks (Frinton-on-Sea)

Lover of contemporary fiction, fantasy, historical fiction and thrillers. I would love to be able to discuss reads with others and discover new books.

Like a range but not romantic or comic reads enjoy a challenge but a good narrative

Book reader21H recommends:

A Fort of 9 Towers

by Qais Akbar Omar | Buy this book

The great sadness of Afghanistan but also the beauty it once had and the many happy times within family life.

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.

Paul B (Chelmsford)

loved reading but work has got in the way and have lost my way , look to commit to a reading club to encourage and provide support . Live in Chelmsford

readmeow11 (Basildon)

Hi, I love romance/action-sequel books as well as fantasy. I’m looking for a book club around Basildon and or Southend.I want to make friends and recommend/read books with 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

Rosie (Hornchurch)

Hoping to find like minded people, read, educate and gain a hobbie!

John (Clacton-on-Sea)

I like BL books

Viktoria (Saffron Walden)

Hi, my name is Viktoria and I am a big fantasy and romantasy book reader. I would love to find people with similar taste or joint book club who focus on fantasy/romantasy

Viktoria recommends:

The Ballad of Never After

by Stephanie Garber | Buy this book

The OUABH trilogy is my Roman Empire. I think of Jacks and Eva and the magnificent north everyday. What is so great about these books? Honestly I don’t know. All I know is that I connected so much with the characters the world and their adventures.
