MamaBee

Seeking a book club

I’m a new mammy to a beautiful little girl. I’m 23 (almost 24) and love new adult fantasy romance books - but I’m open to anything! During and after pregnancy I have lost who I am as a person, and I’m hoping that by finding a community of people with similar passions to me I can start to find myself again.

MamaBee recommends:

A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St Clair
A Touch of Darkness
by Scarlett St Clair | Learn more and buy
It’s a retelling of Hades and Persephone. It has a modern touch and is filled with self discovery, romance, magic and just enough of Persephone being a badass.

Seeking a book club

I just arrived in Durham a month ago and joined Durham University. I like all genres, however, I like history and adventure more. I am looking for like-minded people to connect with and give and get recommendations for good books.

Harry recommends:

The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

The way Anne is expressing her thoughts and that at the very young age of 13 years old is beyond my imagination.

Olivia

Seeking a book club

I am a 21 year old book reader who enjoys nothing more than to sit at home with a good book. I am into fantasy, romance (which can be dark at times), thriller, horror, mystery etc. I don't settle for one genre and I will try all books. I don't have many people that around me that read <3

Olivia recommends:

They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera
They Both Die At The End
by Adam Silvera | Learn more and buy
Two people that are brought together by death. Enjoying each others company before they leave the world they live in. Heart-breaking, but such an amazing read.
