The Power of Now

by Eckhart Tolle | Learn more and buy

A life-changing read about embracing the present moment. Helps deepen my relationship with my own spirituality and find a greater sense of peace within the everyday. I felt in a shift in the way I processed the world around me and my relationships.

Kirsty J (Redruth)

I've found solace in books since i was very smalland am an avid reader still but feel it might be good to have more social environments to perhaps expand my reading but also to connect with like minded people. I'm 39, live in St Day and work in fitness where I am up very early so prefer earlier meetings as my bedtime is 8pm!

Kirsty J recommends:

The Dark Tower

by Stephen King | Learn more and buy

The beginning of an epic adventure series with incredible detailing and world building you can read it over and over and take in new parts each time. A little more adult, with more dark and complex vibes at times than the lord of the rings but similar adventure feel.

Naomi05 (Bodmin)

Looking to join a bookclub to meet new people, I love James Patterson and any thriller/horror books. That being said I'd happily pick up a romance or adventure story
