Pam (Durham)

Seeking a book club

I am totally obsessed with the tudor era, I'm reading : the shardlake series at the moment. But I do read other history non fiction, especially the medieval period. Also non fiction books on these eras and sometimes other periods in all aspects of history. I tend to read several books at a time, it doesn't get confusing, that's just the way I am!

Pam recommends:

Dissolution  by CJ Sansom

Very interesting plot, gets you guessing on who is the person who's doing the murders, set in the tudor times.

Books&tea30 (Durham)

Seeking a book club

I enjoy all types of genres and will read any recommendations given. I’ve read all my life but recently very much got back into reading. I’m looking to read some good books but also the social aspect of a book club, leaving the house, social interaction and potentially making friends (which is very hard to do at the age of 30!) rather than sit with a hot drink, a book and my dog or boyfriend to unload my thoughts and feelings of the book onto.

Books&tea30 recommends:

Powerless by Lauren Roberts
Powerless

The first fantasy book I ever read. Such an easy read. Romantacy. Such a good plot and a very good/ shocking plot twist at the end which had me itching to read the next books!

Dan (Chester-le-Street)

Seeking a gaming group

After diving head first into the world of dnd this year and becoming a defacto dm for my kids, I would like to try my hand at playing at a real table. I work a 12 hour/3 days a week shift pattern and may not be available on the same day each week but will always have free time to schedule in. Pretty new to role-playing but I don't mind playing a character that slots into a given party.
