Katha

Seeking a book club

Hi all! I live locally in the Reading area. Recently got back into reading, I really love a good book you can get lost in. Favourite genre’s are crime, thrillers, romance- but open to any good recommendations. Would love to join any book clubs- I’m fairly flexible.

The family upstairs

Personally I like how the story flips from one character to another- you get to know each character personally.. I got completely captivated into this book I felt like I was part of their clique, drinking champagne with them!

Herman(she/her)

Seeking a book club

Hello , I based in Reading. I am trying to build up a regular reading routine. I am quite enjoy fiction, recently I am reading Digital Fortress. It’s an amazing story but I haven’t finished it yet. Also, I am reading the ink black heart written by JK Rowling. These are such brilliant story, so it would be great if I have someone to talk about the books and keep in touch to share our thoughts. Besides reading, I generally go to leisure Centre for swimming, Zumba and yoga. Sometimes I will also go out for hiking. It will be good to join a club and meet some new friends.

29yo with 10 years of experience in 5e, p2e and Cyberpunk Red, Currently DM my own Pathfinder 2e campaign that's been running for coming on 3 years now, and im a player in a semi-weekly online p2e game but its only 2 games a month and im looking for something regular. Looking for a group for weekly or bi-weekly sessions on either Fridays or weekend days, as Monday -Thursday I have MMA and Climbing. Don't mind any system, and I don't mind either being a player or a DM. I'm generally a roleplay-heavy player who loves narrative choices and roleplay, and looking for a regular game to blow off steam. Hit me up if you need a player or a DM P.S - I have my own venue to play at!!!

Ivy

Seeking a book club

My name is Ivy. I moved to Reading about two months ago. I enjoy all kinds of interesting novels, and I’m always trying to build a regular reading habit, although I haven’t quite managed it yet. Outside of reading, I enjoy going to the gym and doing yoga. I’m hoping to meet new friends through the group and discover more books to enjoy.

Evangeline

Seeking a gaming group

I haven't played ttrpgs with a group before. The only real experience I've had was baldur's gate lol. I in particular want to play dungeons and dragons since I've already made some characters and I'm fairly familiar with it's mechanics just from outside research and stuff. I like to focus on roleplaying and character interactions. I'm looking for something in the evenings past 5-ish or on saturdays since that's when I'm off school and work My pronouns are She/they and I go by Evie or Morgan!

Seeking a book club

Hey everyone, I'm currently an international student at UoR hoping to connect with other readers in the area. I used to be an avid reader when I was younger and I'm trying to get back into reading again. I mostly read fantasy but I'm open to reading any book with a good plot. At present I'm still hungover from reading Throne of Glass last year haha. So if anyone would like to chat about that or read something fantasy related do hit me up!

the bond between the two main characters. from being one-sided to everything and more. it's about friendship and loyalty, something that is lacking in this modern world.
