Dani

Seeking a book club

Hi! I recently moved to Basildon and the area is completely new to me. I was looking for a book club and ended up here. :) In my 20s I used to read lots of fantasy and classic literature, now (30 something) I mostly read fiction, self development, thriller and romance books but I am a bookworm at heart and very open minded about recommendations! Would love to meet new people that share my love for books and art in general, maybe create a new book club at the local library or coffee shops. Feel free to message me if you’d be interested to form a book club in Basildon ☺️

Seeking a gaming group

27 year old female I have been wanting to play D&D for a long time and had a few opportunities over time or been invited to a game but then people plans changed or something else came up, and nobody I know, knows how to play and I also don’t have any friends outside the people I work with and they definitely don’t want to play, I would be a complete beginner and have little bit of knowledge on the game and how it works but would love to learn to play with friendly patient people how would be willing to help a enthusiastic but massive newbie learn to play :) also love anime and video games plus any lore based or theory making games films and shows

Tomas

Gaming group

Hey there! I'm 27, a fairly classic nerd, and a fan of Pathfinder 2e and DnD. I'm not looking to DM, as I've been doing that for the past 6 years, but I'd be very happy to join in on a campaign in either system! I love the roleplaying and collaborative aspect of TTRPGs, it's such a nice way of getting to know people in and out of character. I'm preferably looking for somewhere either around the Basildon/Billericay area, or in the area around Chelmsford - both are fairly easy drives. Look forwards to hearing from you!

Nicole Obi

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Nicole – I’m 18 and currently on a journey of self-growth, exploring new passions, and creating a life that feels meaningful and exciting. Lately, I’ve been trying to romanticize the little things and focus on becoming the best version of myself – and reading has become a big part of that. I want to join a book club because I love getting lost in a good story, especially romance. There’s something about the emotions, the characters, and the twists that just pull me in. But I’m also open to exploring different genres and discovering books I wouldn’t normally pick up on my own. More than anything, I’m looking forward to sharing thoughts, hearing different perspectives, and connecting with others through books.
