Robin Hobbs world building is second to none

Cityreader

I have a busy work life and enjoy escaping by reading. Tend to stick to the same authors such as John Grisham, Rob Rinder and Richard Osman. Have read the Agatha Christie’s many times. Would like to meet other readers in my area.

Cityreader recommends:

The painted house

by John Grisham | Learn more and buy

Set in America during the Great Depression, whilst maybe sounding dull it’s so well written with great characters and story

Greek Mythology Retellings

This would be a group that reads retellings and interpretations of stories from Greek Mythology, like Circe and Medusa.

Alice Mazarot

I’m 31, I like cats, Taylor Swift, and spicy books. I’m into romance, fantasy (any combination of the two), and the spicier the better! I’m looking to connect with other people with similar book tastes to me, make some friends, and maybe even start a monthly club?

Alice Mazarot recommends:

Butcher & Blackbird

by Brynne Weaver | Learn more and buy

Funny, spicy, dark, what’s not to love.

Flock

I just love this series. As is often the case, the first one is the slowest, but the next two, oh my.

Pratham

Hi, I’m currently studying FinTech at the University of Essex and living in Colchester. I’ve recently started reading more consistently and have really begun to enjoy it. I’m especially interested in psychology, fiction, and books that make you reflect a little deeper. I’m joining to meet like-minded people, discover new books I wouldn’t normally pick up, and have thoughtful but relaxed discussions. I’m open to different genres and looking forward to learning from others’ perspectives.

Ellie1066

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.

Ellie1066 recommends:

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.

I do read a lot of books, listen to audiobooks when I can’t physically sit and read.As I do not have anyone to discuss the books feel i thought a group would be a very helpful.It will keep some of my time occupied with things I am passionate about.

Anyone want to start a book club? Early 40s, love reading but do tend to fall asleep. Enjoy Maggie O'Farrel, Sally Rooney among many more

George

Hi, I am 27 and always happy to chat about books! I already attend a book club in Colchester but I am open to join more or even chat with other book-lovers over coffee. I live in the Colchester/Ipswich area. I like fantasy, thriller and occasionally historical non-fiction but could likely be persuaded to read from any genre.

George recommends:

Perdido Street Station

by China Miéville | Learn more and buy

Fantastic worldbuilding & always great to read fantasy that isn't afraid to move away from the common tropes of the genre!
