Patricia

Seeking a book club

I’m a pensioner who is still active. There used to be a book group at the local Braintree library until the Pandemic when it closed. Since then I have spoken to the Librarian who was completely unhelpful. Apparently no book clubs are currently running which is such a shame.

Looking to meet like-minded people. I’m a big fan of Knausgaard and Petterson, amongst others. If you know about Better than Food on YouTube then you and I will get on just fine.

Out Stealing Horses

by Per Petterson | Learn more and buy

The father-son relationship in this book is interesting and hart-warming, which only makes the end of the book more perplexing. The scenes described throughout are also just very comforting, a great read all round.

Fern

Seeking a book club

Hello, I’m 22 and live locally and love to read, haven’t quite found my favourite genre yet and will read most things from romance to crime thrillers to non-fiction and everything in between, I’m looking to reach out and talk to people about the world of books along with hopefully making some new friends

Maddie

Hi, I'm Maddie. I'm 27 and looking to be able to enthuse about books with others. I have recently moved into the area so would be nice to make some local friends. I read quite a lot of fantasy, romance and greek mythology but some of my favourite books are from other genres.

Hi I'm wondering if there are any Warhammer The Old World players in my area. I go to a club in Colchester on Friday nights but cant often make it due to shift patterns.

Maria

Seeking a book club

I have always been a lover of books, ever since I was a kid at school. My favourites used to be romantic novels especially by Denise Robins. However now that I am retired, I tend to read more thrillers and crime stories. I also like to meet other like-minded readers as I am also a sociable person and want to make new friends.

Someone we know

by Shari Lapena | Learn more and buy

It was a page turner and just gripping.Definitely kept me going through thr night. Story was extremely interesting and wanting me to know more. There was a twist at the end which added to my enjoyment.

Viperhornet

Seeking a gaming group

Age 27. I got into DnD watching Viva la dirt league and want to try playing.

Shannon

Seeking a book club

I've always read books on and off throughout my life and can be a slow reader especially if I can't get into the book. I started with the "classics", then went to crime and thriller and have recently found my way to romantasy, which might be my favourite so far. I'd like to meet like minded people who I can chat to about the books I'm loving and get recommendations for further reading.

Charlie

Seeking a book club

I find that all I do with my time is work and see friends but it’s all very repetitive and I feel like I don’t have any actual real hobbies, I’ve always enjoyed reading but don’t really have the motivation to actually do so, and feel like mixing with a new group of people with a topic to talk about could be fun and interesting

Mairi

Seeking a book club

Enjoy a good crime or psychological thriller. Reading has always been a love of mine and I do so whenever I get a moment to myself.

Chloe

Seeking a book club

I love to read but struggle with motivation to do so. Id love to go to a book club or something like that to discuss books. I'm nervous but bubbly if that makes sense. I don't drive tho so that could be a issue plus public transport isn't great in Braintree

Hayley

Hello! I'm a 33 year old mum of 1. I Love reading, but sometimes need some motivation to take the time for myself to read. I love to discover new books, and meet new people. Genres I love are fantasy, crime, psychological thriller, history, classics, self-help.
