Zakaria

Well, I love reading. Any kind of book really, as long as it's well written. Ideally looking for more people around my age to start or join a book club with. (21 ± 5) Especially enjoy fantasy/mythological kind of stuff but I'll try out anything really. Adore anything with a strong or unique atmosphere.

Lottery

A great heartfelt story of someone who has a beautiful, kind nature who is often ridiculed and left out by family and people in general and how people change attitudes when money is involved.

I'm Ellora (25F), recently moved to Ipswich for work (but based primarily in Chelmsford) and would love to join a book club near either place (or just meet up with people/start one!). I'm just getting back into reading and tend to go for either non-fiction or horror/thriller/romantasy fiction, but I'll read anything!

I am F26 and just moved to Ipswich. I'd love to meet some new people to hang out with and have a chat. I have always enjoyed reading and especially like historical (non)fiction, romance, and contemporary YA. But I am also open to discover new gems.

Piranesi

by Susanna Clarke | Buy this book

I like this book because It really is one of a kind. Basically this guy called Piranesi lives in a house with infinitive corridors. His mission is to catalogue all the different rooms and the things that happen in them. It starts out quite mysterious and has takes really interesting and unexpected turns along the way. It is beautifully written, leans heavily into philosophy and really makes you think. Unfortunately saying much more about the story would spoil that for you - I would recommend to pick up that book knowing as little as possible.

DLC
