Hi, I’m Sarah, 55yrs young. I moved to Leigh on Sea for love 4 years ago and although the love didn’t last, my passion for reading stayed strong! I would really like to find/start a book club in the area. I enjoy all kinds of books and have a list of 1000 books to read before I die. I’m half way through! ☺️ I wouldn’t mind hosting books, wine and cheese nights or join an existing group.
