Louise

Seeking a book club

I'd love to join a local group near Southend or Rochford. I'm currently reading John of John by Douglas Stewart who also wrote Shuggie Bain which was a 5* read for me. I like modern contemporary fiction but like to read a couple of classics a year. This year it was The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck and So Long, See you Tomorrow by William Maxwell. My current favourite authors are Elizabeth Strout, Donal Ryan, Helen Garner, Colm Toibin and Kevin Barry. I've got a bit of a block on the romantasy genre and anything formulaic. My controversial opinion is I don't like Lily King or other overhyped modern fiction. But I do read it, to be sure.

Suzie19j

Seeking a book club

Hi, I’m Suzie! I’m both a passionate reader and an author, and I’ve always loved getting lost in the pages of a great story. Fantasy is my favourite genre—I love exploring magical worlds, rich lore, and unforgettable characters. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with fellow book lovers, share recommendations, and dive into exciting discussions. There’s nothing better than talking about books with people who love them just as much!
