Hi! I was an avid reader as a child and have finally gotten back into proper reading again this year (Iβm 29). Counting down to tick 65 books read this year but am still only halfway through! Would love to join an intimate book club with quality discussions rather than a big group setting. I read all kinds of contemporary fiction and am currently reading Pachinko.

Seeking a book club
I'm 32 and just moved to Greater Manchester. Currently on a long reading stint and trying to read 52 in 2025. I read fairly broadly, enjoying classics and contemporary novels. For me, the stranger the premise the better. I value being able to discuss fiction reading in general with anyone and I'm open minded towards different tastes.

Ruthi3Readz
Seeking a book club
Hi! I'm Ruth & I'm 30. Moved to the City Centre. I've been a reader all my life but rediscovered my love for reading 3 years ago. I don't know anyone who reads the same genres I love but I've been part of a few online book clubs. I would like to join an in person book club (or start one) to meet people who love to read the genres I enjoy. My favourite genres are Fantasy, Science Fiction & Romance. Recently discovered that I also like Mysteries & Thrillers too. Started The Count of Monte Cristo and I am loving it. See some of my favourites below :)

Heya, looking to join or form a d&d group in South Manchester/Stockport. I'm relatively new to d&d, I played with a group in London but they were all one shots, and then watched a lot of campaigns like Dimension 20 and played loads of Baldurs Gate 3. I don't mind being a DM! I've never DM'd though so would appreciate a bit of patience if I am going to

Nice to meet you,my name is Jack Iβm 27 from Bolton near Manchester. Iβm an avid reader of fantasy books so enjoy a vast open world and world building some of my favourites are mistborn series and red rising, I also read a lot of mangas and webtoon! Got into DnD last year thanks to my friend James and have done small sessions with my friends which I have loved, only problem is weβve known each other for years and I want to experience DnD as a new player with new people to challenge myself and broaden my love for this great game I understand a lot of the rules and classes but still have a lot to learn and will have questions during the sessions, I am open to try role play and would play any character to fit the party I can play Wednesday and Thursdays potentially Tuesdays If you wish to know anymore please feel free to ask away :)
