Fran

Seeking a book club

My name is Fran, I am looking to make friends and read more. I already read quite a lot, I’m currently reading Kazuo Ishiguro ‘An Artist of the Floating World’ and before that read his very first novel and I’m really enjoying him. I really like literature and I’m looking to connect with others who do too. I also live in Penryn!

Robin de Berniere-Smart

Seeking a gaming group

I am quite new to TTRPG's in general, but I'd like to find a group I can meet with to gain some experience and make new friends- I've played Pf2e a little, which is tbh my only experience actually playing but I would love to find a group to try something new with.

The Power of Now  by Eckhart Tolle
The Power of Now
by Eckhart Tolle | Learn more and buy
A life-changing read about embracing the present moment. Helps deepen my relationship with my own spirituality and find a greater sense of peace within the everyday. I felt in a shift in the way I processed the world around me and my relationships.

WordLadySophie

Seeking a book club

My main motivation is the social aspect, I LOVE talking about books, art, film etc. so I'd like to join a book club to meet new people and to have a bloody good chat about what we've read over a glass of wine. For escapism, I like the kind of stuff they talk about on Sara Cox's Between The Covers. For mind-expansion, I also like non-fiction books on pre-history, history, science, women's health, feminism, psychology, art history & poetry. I'm open to having a go at starting a book club with others too. Penryn is ideal, could do Falmouth.

WordLadySophie recommends:

Circe by Madeline Miller
Circe
by Madeline Miller | Learn more and buy
Feminist retelling of the mythical character Circe, usually portrayed as a terrifying witch but cleverly and enjoyably re-written by Miller to be an exiled woman finding the strength to face the challenges of her life and world.

3rd Monday

Book club

Gatherings are hosted by Henry Purbrick, a representative of Cornwall County Council - Libraries, who sets up meetings on the 3rd Monday of the month at the Penryn Library. All are welcome to come, enjoy tea and biscuits, and discuss the book of the month that was chosen from the local library selection, covering a variety of interesting topics. It's a great way to experience different works and thoughts that you may have otherwise overlooked. From time to time, the group will attend other literary activities, and twice a year, a social gathering. New members are more than welcome to join in the fun. Meetings are located at St Thomas' Street, Penryn, Cornwall.
