Emma

Seeking a book club

I love books with humour and memorable characters. My favourite reads tend to be contemporary fiction. Nothing groundbreaking here I like Richard Osman, Marian Keyes, Elizabeth Day, Bella Mackie and I can’t wait for the next Gail Honeyman to be published! I'm always keen to discover something new through other readers' recommendations.

Emma recommends:

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

It hilarious, touching and kind. I live books set in Scotland too. There’s a bit of a twist but it’s really the characters that make the book so good, they are complex, infuriating and lovable.

Jack

Seeking a gaming group

I currently run a local gaming group every Thursday from 19:00 in The Tower Inn, Tranent. We play a variety of games; from party and card games to heavier strategic boardgames. I personally enjoy old, dry euros; the more beige the better. Along with area control games with lots of player interaction.
