Marylou (Hailsham)

Hello I’m 18, I adore reading, particularly historical fantasy whether it be mythological retellings or built up entirely in an author’s own mind. But I’m open to any genre, even non fiction if it is centred towards the ancient world. I’m just looking for fellow readers that would like to discuss their thoughts and opinions, or simply gush over their favourite book of the month.
