What are the odds

by Madi Leigh | Learn more and buy

Its a great sports romance book! I loved the characters and the story. It's the first of a great series that is still coming out!

Colin

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a former history major, who loves roleplay approaches to TTRPGs. I've played a lot of DnD 3.5 years ago, and DM'd for years, but haven't done much in the last 10 years. I'd love to get back involved in a game, though I think I'd prefer Pathfinder 2e this time.

John

Gaming group

Looking for existing groups or willing to start a group. For RPGs, will run basically anything that isn't pathfinder or 5e. For wargames I'm interested in mostly in One Page Rules and non-GW games.

Emma

Seeking a book club

I am 21 years old, and I have just moved from the US. I'm hoping to make some new friends with common interests. I love to read, especially romance, thriller, mystery, or fantasy books, but I also like to mix it up with new genres.

The Butcher and the Wren

by Alaina Urquhart | Learn more and buy

I don't normally enjoy dual point of view books like this, but I found the contrast in the characters so interesting!

Lauren

Seeking a book club

I’m an avid reader and would love to connect with people to chat all things books! I’m a big fantasy / romantasy person, also typically read thrillers and romance, but I’ll try anything that’s recommended. I’m 32 and based near Helensburgh and Dumbarton.

Fourth Wing

by Rebecca Yarros | Learn more and buy

I love this whole series! Dragons, enemies to lovers, fighting to the death.. there’s so much to this series and it’s not finished yet. It keeps you on the edge of your seat at points and deaths you don’t see coming. One of my favourite romantasy series.

KirbyS

Seeking a book club

Hello ! I have loved reading all my life but keen to join a club/group so we can chat through new books and different genres. Joining a group would also keep me focused .

The end of men

by Christina Sweeney-Baird | Learn more and buy

Gripping , thought-provoking and more-ish.

LiamLovesLit

Seeking a book club

Had a bit of a reading second wind the last few years and would love to share that with some like-minded, passionate folk! Looking to share recommendations, dig a bit deeper and engage with reading in a different way than I'm used to. Particularly interested in any groups with fellow people in their late 20s and early 30s, but not essential. Love a bit of everything, but thrillers with something to say (Birnam Wood being a recent fave) are my cup of tea! Best recent reads have been Project Hail Mary, Hero of Ages and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Isaac and the Egg

by Bobby Palmer | Learn more and buy

My go-to recommendation with a 100% success rate for getting a "never heard of it" response and a subsequent "I loved that". Equal parts surreal and heartwarming, this book was just as adept at getting a chuckle out of me as it was a few tears. Shades of It's A Wonderful Life, Manchester By The Sea and E.T!

Meg

Seeking a book club

I’m an avid reader looking to make new connections with people who also love to read! I’m an aspiring author, English lit grad and read across a broad range of genres. I particularly enjoy fantasy, historical and romance. Would love to chat about books! I’m 30 years old and based in Alexandria.

Meg recommends:

Kindred

by Octavia E Butler | Learn more and buy

A harrowing and gripping account of a Black woman in 1970s America who finds herself inexplicably time travelling back to the antebellum South. I was completely blown away by the originality of this story, and the way the author expertly explores how the scars of slavery still exist in contemporary America.

Cat

Lights Out

by Navessa Allen | Learn more and buy

This is a spicy book but if you love romance and comedy then you will love this one!

Abbie

Seeking a book club

I'm Abbie, from Clydebank area, unfortunately there are no book clubs near me that I could find, I would really like to join one just to be able to dicuss reading again with people as my seminars have now finished in university. Also, I don't really have others to talk about reading with. I enjoy mainly all genres of books, but my favourite is horror (psychological horror mostly) but I am willing to read anything.

I read a fair amount for work, but would love a group to read casually and share in my spare time. I read most genres, but am looking to read mostly literary fiction. That said, I'd love to get into something new and different.

Eerie, claustrophobic nautical horror. Can be read in one night and will leave you begging for more pages.

For anyone who likes "The Trueman Show" this masterwork depicts an ordinary surbaurban man who discovers his life is all a lie...
