Books Paula (Billericay)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I enjoy reading most genre's especially murder mysteries and thrillers, romance and fantasies. I would love to meet and make new friends, but do struggle to put myself out there, so am quite lonely and thought a book club maybe would be a good start to try and change things for myself.

Books Paula recommends:

I am currently reading Colder than the grave

by JD Kirk | Learn more and buy

This is book no.14 of the DCI Logan series and I just love them although they are mainly crime fiction set in and around Highlands but have plenty of Scottish humour splattered in each story, I often find myself laughing out loud too which some people might find a bit odd. I would highly recommend these books to anyone who enjoys a good read. My favourite book of all time I think has to be Flowers in the Attic by Virginia Andrews that book I read many years ago but it sticks with me even now, excellent book.

All of the above

They are all brilliant in their own ways, definitely worth reading.

Author JK Scot (Romford)

Seeking a book club

I'm the author of 'Beyond the Doors,' by JK Scot. A crime thriller that begins & ends in Blairmore, Argyll. I thought as I write books, it'd be good if I started reading them.

Beyond the Doors

by JK Scot | Learn more and buy

I wrote this saga of a young person leaving his village in Scotland and accidentally stumbling into the unfamiliar morality of gangland, military contractors & intelligence agencies. For a change, the strong female characters in this story aren't the victims. Instead, they're the driving force behind all of the realistic scenes, dialogue and criminal misadventures.

Amy (Wickford)

Seeking a book club

I love thriller books. I sometimes struggle to finish a book, or simply pick it up. Would love to be a part of a book club to get good recommendations and hopefully encourage me to pick up a book!

Danny 1993 (Rayleigh)

Seeking a gaming group

I’m Dan, 31 years old and super autistic. However, I come from a performing and very artistic family so I’m an introvert with a massive personality. Looking for a DnD group but always open to trying new systems and, most importantly, having fun. I’m a youth worker at a centre in Dagenham and DM a game there once a week (on and off) but really looking to get into something proper as a player to begin with. Hugely influenced by Critical Role and Dimension 20. Let’s have some fun!

KindleRead888 (Harlow)

Seeking a book club

I love YA Fantasy but I made it my mission to read outside of my comfort zone this year and I've now fallen in love with cosy mysteries, whimsical light-hearted reads and a good romance!

Jade (Romford)

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a retired lady and I'm looking for Board Games to keep my Brain working well. I'm good at spelling, so any Game which involves words would be good but I don't mind, as long as the Game keeps me thinking.

Sophie (Southend-on-Sea)

Seeking a book club

I am 25 years old. I love romance and fantasy books. I love to read but none of my friends do so I am looking to speak and discuss books with others who like to read. I am open to trying other fiction genres as well, just romance and fantasy are my favs.

The Unhoneymooners

This book I could not put down and read it in one night! I just love the whole "enemies" to lovers scenario and just feel in love with the characters. It has sparked a love for the authors as well as I have read a couple of their books since The Unhoneymooners since and have loved them also.
