Rayleigh Vineyard Book Club

Book club

We meet at 8pm on the second Sunday of each month in Rayleigh. Informal, friendly, and we don't mind if you haven't read the book or didn't finish it. We vote on the next book, and take turns to lead, so it's very democratic.

The Boy on the Bridge by MR Carey
The Boy on the Bridge

It's the prequel to The Girl with all the Gifts but it's best to read TGWATG first, as there are some delicious Easter eggs in this one, and it does a great job of answering questions and world building, all around beautiful relationships and fully realised complex characters. A real gut-punch of a book.

Danny 1993

Seeking a gaming group

I’m Dan, 31 years old and super autistic. However, I come from a performing and very artistic family so I’m an introvert with a massive personality. Looking for a DnD group but always open to trying new systems and, most importantly, having fun. I’m a youth worker at a centre in Dagenham and DM a game there once a week (on and off) but really looking to get into something proper as a player to begin with. Hugely influenced by Critical Role and Dimension 20. Let’s have some fun!

Anne

Seeking a book club

I’m a recently retired 71 year old female. I’ve always loved reading. I like most genres apart from the Mills and Boon style books. I often struggle to find a new good book after I’ve finished reading the current one so I though a book club would keep me well stocked and able to discuss the books I’ve read with like minded people.
