TheMoffs

Hi, I'm Tish. I work in the book industry. I enjoy literary fiction and SFF, especially speculative fiction. I'm currently reading 'Women Without Men' by Shahrnush Parsipur. We, 'TheMoffs', are looking for a book club as three adults in the same family. The younger of us writes and reads fantasy. The older of us loves short stories like 'Small Things Like These' by Claire Keegan. We are looking for a book club we can all enjoy, with a mix of genders and ages, for social reading.

The Island of the Missing Trees

Beautifully written, the story unfolds across two main timelines and follows the forbidden romance between a Greek Cypriot Christian and a Turkish Cypriot Muslim. They meet secretly at a taverna in Nicosia, where a tree grows through a roof cavity. When war erupts, the young lovers are torn apart. Decades later in London, their teenage daughter, Ada, tries to untangle her family's hidden history and grief following her mother’s death.

Ema

Hi! I'm 25, i'm new to burton and I'm mainly looking to meet some people with similar interests and a reading buddy. I mainly read high fantasy, the name of the wind by patrick rothfuss is one of my favourite books, but i also dabble in scifi and fiction on occasion. I really want to broaden my reading horizons and read more from other genres so if you have any book recommendations i'm all ears! I'm also a big hobby collector, my most recent hobby is jewellery making but i also crochet and paint and dance. I'm a game artist graduate, so if you like games we'll have plenty to talk about there too! If you want to chat or even meet up sometime for a coffee or tea feel free to reach out. :) You can find me on discord: elentiia Just mention you're from the website!
