Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’ve recently become a bit book-obsessed 😅 and I’m really enjoying getting back into reading. I tend to love romance books, especially ones with strong characters, a bit of drama, or emotional storylines. I also enjoy cosy, feel-good reads like café-style books when I want something more relaxing. I’m looking to join a book group to interact with like-minded people, share recommendations, and discover new books I wouldn’t usually pick myself. I’d love a relaxed, friendly group where we can chat about books and just enjoy reading together.

Filthy Rich Vampire

by Geneva Lee | Learn more and buy

It’s really addictive and easy to get into, with a strong, powerful male lead and a lot of tension and chemistry. The story mixes romance with a darker, supernatural vampire world, which makes it feel exciting but still very easy to read. It’s one of those books that keeps you hooked and wanting to know what happens next.

I love reading all kinds of genres — psychological thrillers, murder mysteries, and a good old rom-com are definitely my go to, but honestly, I’m up for reading a bit of everything. I’m always looking for new recommendations and love chatting about books with people who are just as into reading. think it’ll be fun to share thoughts, hear different perspectives, and just be part of a community that appreciates a good story!

Would love to find a local book group that meets once a month in a cosy pub/cafe if possible. Live in Barkingside so Chigwell would work or Wanstead. Love to read psychological thrillers - can't find a local group, hoping to hear from fellow bookworms!

Amy

Seeking a book club

Hello, my name is Amy. I am 27 years old and live in the Chigwell/Hainault area. I have always wanted to join a book club. I am happy to meet in a cosy setting such as a café to discuss our group's chosen book. I particularly like horror, gothic, psychological thrillers, literary fiction and the classics. I am open to other genres too.

Amy recommends:

The Shining

Stephen King is amazing at character development, particularly in The Shining.

Rebecca

Beautifully written with a very gothic and eerie setting.

Michael

Seeking a book club

I'm looking to reignite my love of books with like minded people. I've read everything from classics to trashy science fiction. I'm not very interested in autobiographies, preferring fiction. I'm not particularly looking for a social life outside of a book club, but wouldn't be averse to the occasional night out. I'm 62, married, with 3 grown up children and for the past 20 years I've worked at various jobs in the criminal justice system. Currently part time, in an effort to get a better work-life balance and have time for hobbies again.

Michael recommends:

The Gunslinger (Dark Tower Series)

by Stephen King | Learn more and buy

I read the 1st instalment and was enthralled by the ingenuity of the story line, entwining the genres of science fiction and the western, with a mix of different worlds, unlike anything I'd read before. I'd read some other Stephen king but this was completely different and I've re-read it many time since and always enjoyed it again.

I'm a mum of 4 who has finally started to find some time for reading again. It might be entertaining sharing books with others and meeting new people in the area.
