Em (Rayleigh)
Seeking a book club
Hi ππ» Iβm 25 and new to the area (Benfleet/Rayleigh), Iβm looking to meet other girls with similar interests like reading! I mostly read fantasy & romance, but I can also dig a philosophy, personal development, or science book. Or a language book (beginner Spanish & Iβm learning Irish) :) Iβd love to grab a coffee/tea and chat about a book!

Emma (Braintree)
Seeking a book club
Hi, I'm Emma, 19 years old. I moved to the area about a year ago and have done nothing but work, so I'm looking for a few friendly faces to talk about books with :) I usually read fantasy, historical fiction and magical realism, but honestly as long as the writing is to my taste I don't mind genres. I've been loving queer and religious themes recently
