Bookreader84 (Woodford Green)

Seeking a book club

Hi I’m in my 30’s a female and looking for a book group near me that is friendly and wants to discuss a wide range of books. I like thrillers, romance and horrors mainly but I am happy to read anything! My all time favourites are the silent patient, the family upstairs and first wife’s shadow. My new favourite author is Adele Parks. I would prefer a book club with only females. I’m a mother with 2 young kids and really want to get back into reading and do something just for myself for a change!
