Meg

Seeking a book club

I'm 31 and I've been in the UK for the last 5 years (originally from South Africa). I struggle to meet new people and so would love to connect with others locally/nearby who perhaps share similar interests. I mostly read fantasy/romatasy but I dabble in regular romance as well as crime/thriller. Basically anything that grips me story wise.

Dan

Seeking a gaming group

Hi there. I'm looking for one or two more player/s for a 2024 5e game using the Dungeons of Drakkenhiem book to make a group of 3/4 players. I've been Dming on and off for 5 years and my longest running game was homebrewed and lasted for roughly 60 sessions once a fortnight. I've been loving reading the Drakkenhiem book and feel confident in running it. I'd be looking to play in person Monday evenings 6pm till 10:30 with the chance of staying later if the group agrees. I work as a bartender so in terms of scheduling changes I can't do weekends, only weekdays. Once I have enough players that want to play I'll organise a session zero to create characters and back stories on the day, go over game content and find out what style of game we all want to play. LGBTQ+ friendly. 23M

Alun

Seeking a gaming group

Playing and dm'ing since 1979, with way too many systems under my belt. Looking for 5e games, where I have nearly a dozen of the epic encounters boxes for other dm's to use if needed. I have the main rules + ravenloft and fizban book of dragons in hardback, as well as way too many dice. Also I am an experienced world of darkness (early edition) storyteller

Hi! I’m look to find some book friends to share the joy of reading with! I tend to gravitate towards fantasy but I do read across genres. I don’t have friends that read and would love to discuss books/start a relaxed Bookclub with people who are interested.

Helen

Seeking a book club

It would be great to meet with others who are interested in reading and discussing books. If anyone in Newport or around is interested in setting up a bookclub in Newport, please get in touch. I am a bit restricted by days but could do once a month on a Friday evening if that suits. Look forward to hearing from anyone interested.

Angie

Seeking a book club

Hello, I am 31 and looking to join a book club to make friends and also help hold me to account to reach my goal of reading one book a month this year. I'm flexible in terms of genre and meeting up. I am from south Africa and moved to Newport last year after living in London for 8 years.

Angie recommends:

Babel  by R F Kuang

Set mainly in Oxford in the 1800s, bit of magic and about the British empire and the power of translation. I was hooked and couldn't wait to get through it, obviously I was then devastated when I got to the final page that the adventure was over!
Finding the mother tree by Suzanne simard

As a tree lover anyway, this book has had a profound impact on me ever since. It is scientific, fascinating, sad and hopeful. It's a beautiful story of the authors life and her bond with trees in Canada. Highly recommend
Unwell Women  by Elinor cleghorn

History of medicine and the LACK of female inclusion... It's maddening, gripping, frustrating, insightful and a must read.
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

Honestly I bought this in the airport before a flight with zero expectations, and I was gripped. It's a beautiful story of 3 generations from Koreo in Japan over the 20th century. I learnt a lot about the history of Korea and Japan but also fell in love with the characters. It's beautiful with some tragic twists. I cried so recommend tissues.
Klara & the Sun  by Kazuo Ishiguro

I finished this in one day. A story of friendship in the technological world. It's sad, gripping, beautiful and a must read. I loved this book so much I didn't want it to end. Just beautiful

A feminist, a chemist and a love story. It's gorgeous and made me feel warm inside (not all the time though to be fair) but I adored this book
