I live in the Basildon area and have really been wanting to get back into reading, I am predominately into fantasy, thriller, but honestly anything! My friend when I was younger bought me the “books to read before you die” bookmark and I think this is what kickstarted my love!

I hope that you are all keeping well. I am just posting this to say that i have read through several of your comments and I can see that there are many of us who would like to join a Basildon Book group. Therefore, I will pop into Basildon library to enquire about setting one up. If they agree, I will post the details on here as well as seeing about putting a poster up in the library to advertise. Looking forward to seeing if we can get one set up Kind regards Tracy D

Hi, I am Tracy and I am looking to join a book club with like minded book worms. I enjoy a variety of genres especially thrillers, horror, romance, historical fiction based on true stories and many many more. I can see that there are several people looking to join a book club in Basildon, would anyone be open to doing this at Basildon library on a Saturday. Please let me know your thoughts and I would be happy to speak to the library to see if this can be arranged on a monthly basis

Hi I am a woman in my 40s who has always loved reading and mostly used to read thrillers, my favorite author of this genre being Karen Slaughter. However recently I have wanted to try reading some of the classics having just finished George Orwell’s 1984 an Animal farm which were both amazing, and I am loving working my way through my new classic reading list! I don’t know many other people who love reading like I do and would love to join a group and meet likeminded people and discover more genres and books that I haven’t tried yet.

Hi! I recently moved to Basildon and the area is completely new to me. I was looking for a book club and ended up here. :) In my 20s I used to read lots of fantasy and classic literature, now (30 something) I mostly read fiction, self development, thriller and romance books but I am a bookworm at heart and very open minded about recommendations! Would love to meet new people that share my love for books and art in general, maybe create a new book club at the local library or coffee shops. Feel free to message me if you’d be interested to form a book club in Basildon ☺️

Sign in to contactNicole Obi
Hi, I’m Nicole – I’m 18 and currently on a journey of self-growth, exploring new passions, and creating a life that feels meaningful and exciting. Lately, I’ve been trying to romanticize the little things and focus on becoming the best version of myself – and reading has become a big part of that. I want to join a book club because I love getting lost in a good story, especially romance. There’s something about the emotions, the characters, and the twists that just pull me in. But I’m also open to exploring different genres and discovering books I wouldn’t normally pick up on my own. More than anything, I’m looking forward to sharing thoughts, hearing different perspectives, and connecting with others through books.
