Cameron (Gateshead)

Seeking a gaming group

Experienced 5E player but I love other TTRPGS too like LANCER and Warhammer Fantasy (Though I haven't had the oppurtunity to play either). I love the social aspects of roleplaying especially with a good group that doesn't take it too too serious. :)

Before you knew my name

by Jacqueline Bublitz | Learn more and buy

This book moved me to tears and the main character stayed with me long after I'd finished the book. It's about a young girl who meets an untimely death in New York but the book delves into her life leaving you with a sense of a whole person not just a name in a sad newspaper story. Everyone I have recommended this to has loved it.

How to kill your family

by Bella Mackie | Learn more and buy

It has an addictive plot with a really unlikable main character but you can't help rooting for her as the story draws you in . Can't wait for her next book

Molly (Whitley Bay)

Seeking a book club

Just want to chat about books with like-minded people, preferably whilst drinking a decent cup of coffee, open to any genre, fiction or non-fiction, just so long as it's compelling enough to stop me reaching for the TV remote

Alex (Boldon Colliery)

Seeking a book club

My go-to genres are sci-fi, mythology and philosophy. But I don't really mind exploring beyond those genres as long as they are quality reads. I want to join a book group because I was to socialise and (although it sounds cheesy) make some friends. I figured talking about common interests would be a good idea.

Alex recommends:

War of the Worlds

It's one of the original Science Fiction books ever written. It's told from the prospective of an astrologist as his home town is the first to be hit in a long war with the mysterious Martians.
