The Happy Rickshaw Driver

Seeking a book club

I am an author and have recently released a book called "The Happy Rickshaw Driver". It is gaining some wonderful reviews. It is a short read and is inspirational fiction. It is based around a stress coach who internally is in turmoil due to marriage problems, mis behaving children, financial issues etc. A trip to India and a ride in a rickshaw transforms her outlook on life. My aim is to offer the book to readers.

This is a heartwarming inspirational fiction book based around a woman who is a stress coach but who is internally in turmoil due to a broken marriage, financial issues, non engaging children, unwell elderly parents etc. She travels to India to deliver a talk on stress. She catches a rickshaw on the way and has a life transforming conversation with the driver who easily manages to stay calm in the chaos of the Mumbai traffic.

MemoryForge Gaming

Gaming group

MemoryForge Gaming is a Tabletop and Board Games club. The club meets every Monday, between 18:30 and 22:30, at Littlethorpe Village Hall, for an evening of memorable tabletop top action, coffee and chat. The club’s location is perfect for those who live locally and want to avoid the commute towards the city center, offering onsite & residential parking, disabled access, bathroom & kitchen facilities, seating and plenty of tables, it's a fantastic place for everyone to play. Whether you're a seasoned gamer with a sizable model or board game collection you're not sure to be ashamed or proud of. Or just someone that’s looking to get away from screens and out the house to try something new, you're in the right place. First time tryers are free, and if we impress you enough to come back it’s £5.00 per session. Each week Players have the option to organise games of their choice with their fellow club members or take part in “Big Game Night” arranged by the club organisers where a large group of players participate in the same game duking it out for bragging rights. For new joiners an introductory game is always organised with seasoned members to ensure everyone feels welcome and has the best experience on the night.

AKV1

Seeking a book club

I am middle aged, work part-time, a reasonably keen reader, almost all non fiction, usually a book in my hand rather than an e-reader. Classic Travel writing, some biography or autobiography, well crafted history. Favourite books or authors: Long Walk to Freedom, William Dalrymple, Some of Louis Theroux's books, Travels of ibn Batutta, Serious by Mcenroe, to name a few examples. I'd like to meet people whose interests may not necessarily be the same as mine, for discussing and exploring what you read and why. Message me.

Hi! I love getting lost in romance, fantasy, thrillers, webcomics and manga. I’m hoping to share the joy of reading by joining a book club and chat with others who love a good story as much as I do.

Phoebe recommends:

The Drowning Game
by L S Hawker | Learn more and buy
The Drowning Game is a fast-paced, suspenseful read with just the right amount of unease. I loved not knowing where the plot would lead—twists kept me guessing until the end. I devoured it in two days.
