Ela

Seeking a book club

I mostly read thriller/crime type books. I like a strong female lead and really enjoy Frieda McFadden novels. Also I enjoy Harlen Coben crime novels. I’m a busy parent/teacher but always make time to read! Probably one book every 1-2weeks. Would like to meet up and chat about books.

Bethany

Seeking a book club

Hi, I am 29, I have gotten back into reading the past couple years, after loving reading as a child/teen. I have been going through lots of audiobooks on my commute. I have been enjoying many genres, mostly fiction such as fantasy, murder mysteries, 'cosy' novels, historical fiction etc., and some non-fiction, mostly autobiographies. Would love to find a relaxed local book club to meet people in this area and a nice cuppa

James

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a GM in my mid-50s, a bit rusty as I only get to play now and again but would love to get a regular or semi-regular group going. I prefer games that emphasise role-playing and/or keep the rules light. My preference is for Call of Cthulhu, Vaesen, The One Ring, or Blades in the Dark. Sadly, I'm not a fan of D&D and its ilk. :)

Callie

Seeking a gaming group

41 nb person looking to play RPGs. Haven't played for 25 years and would rather play something other than DND. Spent most of that time being more of a wargamer and painting minis, but looking for something a little different but still nerdy.

Fiona

Seeking a book club

Hi. I am 54, love reading, am a huge book nerd. I enjoy most genres of books. I can read at lest a book a day, sometimes more if I have the time. Would love to meet like minded people who I can chat all things books with. It would be great to find a local book group where we could meet up on a regular basis. I live near Falkirk/Stirling and work in Lenzie so I can cover a good area.

I just really want to rant and gush over silly little fictional characters and their bad decisions. —Eve (19), Sci-fiction, Dark fantasy, grimdark, slice of life, anything really so long as the character’s/world building is interesting or dynamic’s are explored in depth.

Misfit crew, actually morally grey character’s, military strategy, weird spiritual abilities which make it totally awesome.

Paul

Seeking a book club

I read a lot but I’m always on the lookout for genres outside what I’d normally pick. I reckon joining a book club is going encourage me to read more widely and find more books to enjoy.
