Milo

Seeking a book club

I struggle to meet new people and figured this would be a good way to. I enjoy reading basically everything, though have a slight preference for Queer romance and fantasy, and want to talk about books with people. I would like to meet people who are over 18, as I'm 19. I am bi and trans (pronouns he/they), and most likely autistic, though still waiting to take my assessment.

Evergreen
by Sam Russell | Learn more and buy
An incredible fantasy that manages to merge multiple mythologies. It follow Adam, the first man, as he moves through human history trying to find his wife, Eve, and accidentally becomes the catalyst for many myths and legends. It's dual timeline set in the the modern day and 1191. It's currently only available as an audio book, but it is free on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast and Audible. The narrator is incredible and it has amazing sound design, making the world feel really lived in.

Adam

Seeking a book club

Hi, I'm Adam and I'm looking to meet people who like to read. I'm getting a masters in publishing and creative writing at York St John and for the longest time I've been wanting to join a book club to be able to discuss the books I read. Usually I read Sci-Fi books but I also love Horror, Speculative Fiction, Literary Fiction, Classic Literature, and Modern Fiction.

Jen

Seeking a book club

I struggle to meet people and build friendships due to my neurodiversity, however I love to read and will read almost anything, I love the sense of escape and adventure it gives me and what better way to meet people than to join with others who love books as much as I do.

Clean Account by M. B. Rokeley
Clean Account
by M. B. Rokeley | Learn more and buy
This book isn’t Hollywood hacking. It’s precise, methodical and uncomfortably realistic. It centres on a hidden exploit buried deep in the dark web, and what follows feels less like fiction and more like something that could genuinely exist. Thoughtful, tense and quietly chilling.

I am someone who is a heavy gamer who has played a lot of console RPGs in the day so learning new rules and progression systems is part of the fun. I am happy to run Dungeons and Dragons 5.5 but would rather play or run a campaign of anything else.

Grace

Seeking a book club

Looking to fill my time with reading especially in the New Year! I enjoy an oxford comma, but more importantly mystery/crime/thrillers… and romance or historical fiction. If it sounds interesting, I’d give it a go.
