Gina

Seeking a book club

Hi I'm Gina, I'm 37 years old and I love to read true story books, I love books about historical tragedy n things similar, ie. Titanic stories or pearl harbour or ww2. (I know it's weird), and I'd love to meet new friends and meet up in coffee shops to possibly go over.

Gina recommends:

Rachel

Seeking a book club

I'm a 28 year old woman who loves crime, romance and thrillers, but I am always up for trying new genres and authors. My favourite author is Steve Cavanagh. His book "Devil's Advocate" is my go-to recommendation when anyone asks. His work is so well researched and he always keeps me guessing. I went to a talk by him last year and was so interested to hear about his writing process. I also love Taylor Jenkins Reid - Malibu Rising is her best novel in my opinion, followed by the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

Ali

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a gamer in my 40s and I've a long history of TTRPGs, not just D&D because it's a huge hobby and I've played (and written for) a huge number of them. I'm currently between gaming groups and want to get more board games into my life, and looking for laid-back gamers who can have fun and commit to a few hours every couple of weeks to get some games on a table.

Steve

Seeking a gaming group

I am 44 years old, and I live in Portsmouth. I've been playing TTRPGs and RPG's for longer than I haven't been. But haven't done an in-person game for a long time, and want to get back into it for fun and socialising. I am mainly interested in sci-fi games, rather than D&D or fantasy games. I like games with a high degree of emphasis on plot, story, atmosphere, world-building and character interaction over game mechanics and 'crunch' or number counting. I have experience GMing, but only in limited game systems, and I would like to play rather than run something for a change.

Joseph

Seeking a book club

I'm a mood reader and can be quite shy; hoping to make friends with people, find new books to read and just generally socialise with someone; I don't always connect with people very well but hoping to change this - small groups are my preference and quieter environments allow me to open up more. I like most things circumstantially. I've read most works by Plutarch and Tactics but I have read other works like Nietzsche and Schopenhauer and John Steinbech as well as Plato and Kafka (and more); I am open to most ideas.

Joseph recommends:

Easy of Eden
by John Steinbech | Learn more and buy
I cannot quite explain this book truly but in me it elicited and awful array of emotions of mostly sadness and upset and without spoilers, granted me further understanding of the psychological underpinnings of humans which were found growing here in this book, finally relating to my experience -- some of the scenes made me choke. --; this book in every moment paints the awful loneliness and naive imbecility of humanity and it's shattering disillusionment and final self-destruction from it's black state of despair. --- If this book paints such an image because I am not this gloomy!

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm 26 years old and I've enjoyed reading books since I was 22. My favourite types of books are philosophy, self-help or psychology - a standout being The subtle art of not giving a f***. In terms of fiction books, I've enjoyed haruki murakami, Dostoevsky and Jane Austen

I love how even though this is the 3rd book in a huge series, it still manages to stay fresh while retain the amazing character relations and epic story

Seeking a book club

Hello I'm in my early 30s and have lived in the area for a couple years. I've struggled to meet people with similar interests but I absolutely love to read. I mostly read crime, thrillers, horrors and fantasy. I am open to different genres though and would love to meet some like minded people and make some new friends :)
