Moonriser (South East London)

Seeking a book club

I have a broad range of books I like to read. For fiction, I really enjoy magical realism. However I just love a well written narrative and will read most works as long as they capture my imagination. For non-fiction, I love science, history, philosophy and anything about why people are who they are. I am based in South East London and would love to find fellow bookish and curious people to meet and read with and to pick apart our thoughts on books. Would love to find my reading kin! Amongst my favourite books are Half of a Yellow Sun - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel García Márquez The Psychopath Test- Jon Ronson Mythos - Stephen Fry Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind -Yuval Noah Harari

Inspyre Book Club

Book club

The Inspyre Book Club is a relaxed community reading group. We choose a book, and then people come together to talk about it over conversation, tea, and shared reflection. It’s less about analysing the book like a classroom and more about hearing different perspectives and enjoying thoughtful discussion with others who love stories.

Lewis

Seeking a gaming group

26y (M) I've been playing TTRPGs off and on for about 7 years now, started with D&D 5e, but have since branched out and played Cyberpunk, Warhammer Fantasy, and the various 40k RPGs. Happy to join a game in any of those system and settings! I'm based in South East London but I'm pretty central and happy to travel for sessions.

Sebastian

Seeking a gaming group

Hello! I'm Sebastian 32m and I'm looking to join a group of fellow D&D players for a campaign. I'm relatively new to D&D but I've played a few one off games before and have watched D&D online and have played Builders Gate 3, so I have a good understanding of the mechanics. Happy to play with anyone and everyone, and make some friends along the way! I can travel to most parts of London and m free most evenings during the week.

Seeking a book club

I love hearing other people's different takes on a book and how that leads to interesting conversations and sharing of thoughts, feelings and ideas. Looking for more of that and the social and intellectual buzz that comes with it.

Hi :D I’m 25 years old with an appetite for learning and in depth discussion- and I would love to be able to read more!

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.
