Samantha

Seeking a book club

Hi I am Samantha and I’ve lived in Braintree for 15 years, I am an avid reader and looking for a book club in the day that fits in with work and children. Most book clubs are evenings which isn’t great for me as I start work at 5am. I enjoy horror, historical fiction, crime,. Smut and more! I am a big Stephen king fan and would love to find people to meet up and create a book club with in Braintree.

Martina

Seeking a book club

I am not very confident persone and a bit of an introvert, but in general I'm quite a sunny person and friendly, I love to walk, swim and read. I'm a bit shy at the beginning but if i find my person i'm very open and loyal.

Martina

Seeking a book club

Hello everyone, I'm 32, and I am pretty new to the area since we moved a couple of months ago. Because of my job I haven't be able to make friends. Books are my sweet escape, i love romance/fantasy/dystopian ; some of my favourite books are Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass (the absolute best) & Crescent City. I'm not the best in reviewing books, but i love to talk about them and share my passion. Pilates and coffee runs are also on the table :)

Elliot

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Elliot. I’m 29 and new to the area, so I’m trying to make the effort to get out a bit and meet some new people. I’ve always enjoyed reading, especially fantasy and science fiction, although I do like a bit of romance now and then as a guilty pleasure. I thought joining a book club would be a nice way to meet people, talk about books, and maybe read a few things I wouldn’t normally pick up myself.

TheBee

Seeking a gaming group

Hi all, I’m Abi, a mid twenties nature enthusiast with a love for games both cooperative and competitive. I have a small amount of experience with d&d 5e and would love to find/create a group to play d&d with and put my stash of other board games to good use

Sami

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm a 28 year old who has recently moved to Braintree and am looking to make friends in a relatively low stakes way in the local area (Primarily Witham, Braintree and surrounding villages, but as books can be discussed over text, I'm open to hearing from a wider area). I'm not great at socialising initially so I thought 'Hey, I love reading books, if somebody in a simillar situation wants to recc me a book or recieve a book recc in return and we could discuss it, that would be a nice chill way to start a rapport over a shared interest. I primarily like science fiction and fantasy but I'll read pretty much anything, especially if you give me a reccomendation of it. I'm currently reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and although I think it starts off a bit edgy and over the top, I have to say I really like how it develops and especially its world building. I can talk about world building for hours. I have also posted on the tabletop sister site and do watch seasonal anime with my wife, so if you wanna chat about what's currently airing or reach out to me regarding a game night, please feel free to.

Sami

Seeking a gaming group

28 years old, recently moved to the area and looking to make new friends of simillar ages in Braintree, Witham and surrounding villages. I have plenty of my own board games that I need more excuses to play, and am a forever DM with limited player experience looking for a reason to learn 5.5e should the oppurtunity arise, certainly could be convinced into DMing again for an IRL session, but it would take familiarity first - I don't want to get straight back into it. Just really looking to get to meet a few people in a chill low stakes environment, and go from there :)

Sir Nerdsalot

Seeking a gaming group

Looking for groups to play DnD 5E 2024. I'm a newbie that likes to play serious stories with a dash of comedy. About myself: well, I'm me, and once you get to know me, you either like me, or not...

Emma

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

Emma recommends:

Crossroads

by Jonathan Franzen | Learn more and buy

it's sooo long, but really dives into the lives and changing views of each of the characters, something i often miss in contemporary fiction. The author explores the different mindsets of the siblings and parents of an american family, where the dad is a parish leader. obviously they all have a strong connection with religion and eachother. We follow them for a good few years, and i loved reading this because it really shows how people change. Even though they are siblings, growing up in the same house, they lead such different lives.

Mossus (They/He)

Seeking a gaming group

Hi! I'm a 19-year-old new player looking to join a DnD group relatively local to me. I've played a few one-shots, but wanted to find a slightly more permanent group :))

peter

Seeking a book club

Have recently moved to Essex - good to get acquainted with folk who love books. I try to alternate novels with non-fiction - have recently read "Golden Hill" by Spufford which is top notch historical fiction. Am also keen on aviation, steam railways, military history. Braintree Library has a book group (according to the Net) but crime which is not a genre I read much.

England, Their England

by A G MacDonell | Learn more and buy

The author is wonderfully sarcastic about the WW1 Western Front in the opening chapter which sets up the premise of what follows. There are some very funny and witty passages. It is "of its time" but a classic I think. A bit Kingsley Amis or P G Wodehouse in tone.

Hi - I'm looking to meet people in my local area. I'm trying to read more books and maybe chat to new people. I'm interested in sci-fi, drama, horror, manga and non-fiction.

Aaron

Seeking a book club

Hi! I’m 28 and love reading a bit of everything — from classics to thrillers to fantasy. I’m open-minded with genres and really enjoy hearing other people’s thoughts on what they’re reading. There’s something great about seeing someone talk about a book they love. I’m looking for friendly, relaxed people to chat about books, share recommendations, and enjoy good conversations. Age isn’t a factor for me — I’m happy to connect with anyone who enjoys reading.

Hannah-Lee

Seeking a book club

Hi, my name is Hannah, and I’m a 20yo with a passion for reading. I enjoy pretty much every genre, but I have a keen interest in lit fiction, fantasy, mythology retellings, and horror, however, I am trying to read more classics and non-fiction. Would love to talk, buddy read, and find new recommendations <3

Chris

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’ve been retired for a while, into my garden, friendship groups, choirs and travelling. Spend much of my spare time reading. Love all genres apart from sci-fi, great fan of Philippa Gregory and Robert Harris. Just read the Spartacus trilogy by Jay Penner, wonderfully descriptive and evocative.
