A Botanical Daughter

by Noah Medlock | Buy this book

Gothic Victorian setting, the secret and forbidden relationship of a botanist and a taxidermist living in a greenhouse at the bottom of the former's childhood home. The botanist comes into hands of an intelligent mycelium, and wants to test his brilliance, and chance at a traditional family, by seeing if he can create artificial intelligence. However, for this he would need a vessel; preferably humanoid.

Indulge me, dear friends, as I share a glimpse of my character. I am a young gentleman with an insatiable curiosity and a profound appreciation for the written word. The prospect of joining a book group fills me with delight, for I am convinced that spirited discussions and shared insights elevate the reading experience, enriching our understanding of the narratives we cherish. 📚 Furthermore, I harbor a fervent desire to forge new friendships amidst the tranquil beauty of Bournemouth. Imagine, dear comrades, the joy of companionship as we stroll along the sun-kissed shores, engrossed in heartfelt conversations and the timeless wisdom found within the pages of beloved books. 🌊✨

I'm 21, I've always loved books since I was a child. Although, recently I haven't been reading very often I feel if the right book came along I would get back into reading. What better incentive than someone's recommendation.

I consume a lot of audio books. I complete one book a month...and have about 10 books on the go at any time.... I read a total mixture.... Non fiction and fiction. As varied as Impossible Creatures to Factfulness. I feel like a may have a bookworm in me that is trying to get out... So would like to meet with simarly minded people. Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron All Ken Follet books Never where by Neil Gaiman Before the Coffee Gets Cold Notes on Grief The Maidens Too name a few I've enjoyed.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder

by holly jackson | Buy this book

it’s got mystery, murder and romance all in one and keeps you on your toes a lot as your constantly wondering what happened or what is going to happen

Caitlin

Hi I am Caitlin - age 21. I am looking to make some new friends (female and of similar age) and thought this might be a good place to start as I enjoy reading. The friendship doesn’t have to be primarily based on reading, we could go for coffee, cocktails, walks etc. I am hoping to build some lifelong friendships here. The books are just there as a safety net I guess, so we have something to talk about. I am a hopeless romantic, so of course I love reading romance. I also love thrillers, and classics, but am open to reading pretty much anything. And finally, a little about myself, I love being a girl aha - new nails, bubble baths, flowers, sundresses, Sundays etc. I am also a university student studying biology. Hopefully someone will see this and want to be friends, and hopefully in 20yrs time we’ll be laughing at how cringey this was lmao.

Ugly Love

by Colleen Hoover | Buy this book

Now I know there are many mixed opinions on this author and her books. However, her books are easy-reads and recommendable to everyone, including those who are beginner readers or even those who are in a reading slump and need an easy-read to get out of it and back into books again. Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover is a raw and intense journey through love, pain, and the complexities of human emotion. The story delves deep into a tangled web of heartache and passion, capturing the rawness of love and the agony of its complications, which resonates with those who understand the darker side of love and loss. I believe Ugly Love is a compelling exploration of loves underbelly, and it’s a book that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
