I remember being so upset finishing this book and I just loved the story. I feel i want to reread it already!

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 | Learn more and buy

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!

Dani

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 ☺️

What’s there not to love about this book? Left me hanging for the whole 500+ pages!

Women living deliciously

by Florence Given | Learn more and buy

This book inspires women to be the most authentic version of themselves. I love the author and she is a true inspiration for me!

Valayra Rose

33f and currently delving into the world of fantasy after falling in love with ACOTAR and absolutely obsessing over Fourth Wing (I am here for all fan theories after reading Onyx Storm). Also love a crime thriller but 2025 is the year of fantasy/romantasy so all recommendations will be appreciated.

Onyx Storm

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

The current big sensation which I have fallen head over heels for. This is the sort of series where I am transported into the world and it’s more than words on a page. Yes I may be slightly obsessed with Xaden but this series brings me the excitement that I felt as a kid with the Harry Potter series.

Lucy

21 year old female. Love thrillers, romances, romantasy, etc. looking for some girls that are as book obsessed as me !!

Abby

I've been into reading for a while and would love to meet more people who share this interest. I'm mainly into fantasy, sci-fi and romance books. I'm 26 and would love to meet up about once a month to catch up on the chosen book!

Cinder

by Marissa Meyer | Learn more and buy

It's originally a fairytale retelling but with cyborgs, telepathic aliens and deadly diseases that all culminates in an intergalactic war.... it literally has everything!

Shannon

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 ☺️

Nicole 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.
