All listings in Essex

Jenni (Rayleigh)

I used to be an avid reader but seem to have lost the habit. I want to get out more, meet more people and re-ignite my love for books at the same time.

Jacklyn (Hornchurch)

50 year old professional working in London. I studied English literature for my degree and it's where my love for reading stems from. I love the classics, but I read everything from thrillers to bestsellers and translations. The best bit about reading a new book is discussing it with others; and that's something I'm missing at the moment. Would love to join a local book club and discuss books.

Helwarze (Saffron Walden)

Early 30s mum of two young boys. Looking to broaden the types of books I'm reading and meet new friends. Coffee and cake a bonus.

Alec (Braintree)

Hi - I'm looking to meet people in my local area. I'm trying to read more books and maybe chat to new people. I'm interested in sci-fi, drama, horror, manga and non-fiction.

Suzy (Loughton)

Fell in love with reading again this past year and would love to make new friends and join a book club to discuss with other book lovers.

Marie (Saffron Walden)

A woman in my late twenties who’s an avid reader of romance, fantasy, the classics and sometimes dabbles in thriller! Hoping to join a book club with similar tastes. Last Read: Abby Jiminez Say You’ll Remember Me, Current Read: The Priory of the Orange Tree, Next Read: The Housemaid :)
