Dean (Brentwood)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I love reading all sorts but Historical Fiction would have to be my favourite genre. I also do like to read non fiction, about new subjects or learn more about a familiar one. Although in my 50’s I try to learn something new everyday.

Becky (Maldon)

Seeking a book club

Hello, everyone! My name is Becky, and I've recently relocated to this wonderful area. As someone in my late 40s, I've found that nothing quite compares to the excitement of diving into a gripping thriller. I am excited to join a book club and look forward to sharing my passion for suspenseful stories and engaging in lively discussions with fellow book enthusiasts. I'm excited to get to also read books I’d never usually pick myself & meet new people

Sunflower_F (Witham (Essex))

Seeking a book club

Hello! I have not that long got into reading when I was younger I loved books then life happened and now I’ve rekindled (pardon the pun) that interest. I have to admit I have more books in the bookshelf than what I have read but there’s something about getting new books which makes me feel so good 😁 I buy all of my books from charity shops, bootsales or on Kindle Unlimited (but being a mummy too I have to find time in between to read them). However joining book clubs I think motivates me and then I have the choice as to which book I’ll read that month from whatever club I choose! Exciting! I am on the hunt for some books as my “looking for/want” list is slowly getting smaller but I refuse to buy books new as they’re too much money in my opinion if I can find them for 50p or £1 then that’s a win win in my eyes ☺️ Happy Reading all! 📖 📚
