Dawncarla

Seeking a book club

I used be part of a book club in Malta and miss the social aspects of it and the encouragement it gave me to read more. I'm new to Croydon so it would be nice to meet people and be part of a local book club.

One-poetry

Seeking a gaming group

Hey! 23 here and I am looking to be a player but also open to being a DM. I played D&D 5e, Pathfinder 1e, Avatar Legends, and Vampire: The Masquerade V20 and V5. Happy to play any of the systems mentioned or try any new system. I have been getting into acting recently, so I am hoping I would be able to explore different characters and perspectives through those games. I am in central London but happy to travel around the city.

Gallagher03

Seeking a book club

I am a 22-year-old journalist who has moved to London from Glasgow for work and to pursue my masters. I've been here for about six months now and would love to find a good book club to join. I'm a huge fan of Orwell (particularly his lesser-known novels like Coming Up For Air), Irish literature, and Scottish poetry. Please let me know if you have any recommendations!

Seeking a book club

My favourite book is Donna tart - a secret history. I would like to join a book club because I struggle to find and focus on one book so it would be good to have some direction and fun to discuss with people afterwards.

angie.k

Seeking a book club

In love with reading, not always motivated to do so. I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone this year and mostly the comfort of my couch, too and I’d love to socialise with people while doing that! I’m 29 and around Woodford area :)

Iron widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
Iron widow
by Xiran Jay Zhao | Learn more and buy
The feminine rage it emanates? Immaculate. If the handmaids tale and pacific rim had a child, this book would be it. It touches on politics, sensitive subjects and explores our fmc’s point of view on all of these.
