Jade

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a retired lady and I'm looking for Board Games to keep my Brain working well. I'm good at spelling, so any Game which involves words would be good but I don't mind, as long as the Game keeps me thinking.

Seeking a book club

I’m open to different genres but I enjoy romance, comedies, murder mysteries or psychological thrillers. Anything sweet and lighthearted is always a winner.

Izetbookfan

Seeking a book club

I'm a reader of epic fantasy, horror and recently classic novels.

Izetbookfan recommends:

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Lolita
by Vladimir Nabokov | Learn more and buy
Despite it's controversial subject matter, Lolita is one of the most compelling, complex and most beautifully written books I've ever read. The writing prose, along with the unique examination of its characters, makes this book an absolute masterpiece.
The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson
The Bonehunters
by Steven Erikson | Learn more and buy
One of my favourite fantasy books of all time, and so far my favourite book in the incredible Malazan series, the Bonehunters contains pay off after pay off as to its incredible storytelling throughout the series, features some of the most expansive and most unforgettable set pieces in the series, and two notable endings for the price of one.
A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan
A Memory of Light
by Robert Jordan | Learn more and buy
An incredible conclusion to an amazing series, this 14th and final book to the immersive Wheel of Time series delivers a grandiose and heart-wrenching ending filled with epic action, memorable character moments, and one of the best endings to series in recent memory. An absolute knockout of a book.
