Witch & Wizard (series)

by James Patterson | Learn more and buy

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.

Izetbookfan recommends:

Lolita

by Vladimir Nabokov | Learn more and buy

Despite it's controversial subject matter, Lolita is one of the most compelling, complex and most beautifully written books I've ever read. The writing prose, along with the unique examination of its characters, makes this book an absolute masterpiece.

The Bonehunters

by Steven Erikson | Learn more and buy

One of my favourite fantasy books of all time, and so far my favourite book in the incredible Malazan series, the Bonehunters contains pay off after pay off as to its incredible storytelling throughout the series, features some of the most expansive and most unforgettable set pieces in the series, and two notable endings for the price of one.

A Memory of Light

by Robert Jordan | Learn more and buy

An incredible conclusion to an amazing series, this 14th and final book to the immersive Wheel of Time series delivers a grandiose and heart-wrenching ending filled with epic action, memorable character moments, and one of the best endings to series in recent memory. An absolute knockout of a book.

Cee (Colchester)

I'm 18 and studying English literature a level. I like reading and find researching literature fascinating. I'm social anxious and don't have many friends.

Siobhan (Brentwood)

I have recently moved to Brentwood and I love to read. Would be nice to meet some new friends and enjoy a book or two

Brogan (Clacton-on-Sea)

I moved to Clacton July 2022 after purchasing a flat with my partner, moving from Basildon and having no one else apart from my partner. I do a lot of fiction reading. Reading is one of the places where I can simply escape the loudness of my mind and sometimes, it's just great to immerse yourself in a different world. I do venture out to other genres, typically the only thing I don't tend to read are biographies but it isn't a firm no. I don't have any friends here, though I do love my job, but there's just lines you need to keep between yourself and your manager.

Mujtahid (Romford)

A reader of non-fiction books.

Emma68 (Chelmsford)

I enjoy reading different genres and looking to meet new people to discuss books and make new friends.

Emily (Witham (Essex))

Hello! I have just moved to Essex. I enjoy reading a variety of genres including thrillers, feminist fiction, historical, murder mysteries and loads more!! Looking to discuss great books and make new friends 🙂
