Hi, I'm looking to meet up and talk about books. I've always loved all things fantasy, occasionally some sci-fi, thrillers and easy holiday reads. I'm happy to discuss any books though, even classics :) -Yas

Seeking a book club
We are an independent publisher and we have new authors debuting their first novels, who are placed all around the country. We are hoping that some book clubs will be kind enough to feature our authors' work in their TBR lists, or if any Book Club wishes to have one of our authors host a reading, with some giveaways, they would be happy to do so.
