I have just retired from education, and have spent my life in books. I am autistic and hold both a degree and a masters degree in Education, so my experience with books has been steeped in the profession,as well as my role within the subject of English. Being autistic means that retirement brings loss,but the opportu ity to have a personal purpose in book reading for pleasure. I don't think I can make the leap from professional use of books to personal use on my own. I need purpose. A group would give me the purpose to love books again,like I did before I became a teacher and my purpose was to support others to enjoy books and engage with learning this way. Autism makes my book journey an I.portant part of who I am,and now that I am retired I want to be who I am with a group who also love books but have the neurotypical ability to make choices that are not open to me without the support from others. A book club sounds frightening to me because it involves being with people I do not know who may not understand such a fear. It is however my greatest step to loving books for enjoyment. Thank you for allowing me to share who I really am, because it is who I really am that shapes my need to join a book club.

Love books! Have been reading historical fiction for a few years now. First and Second world wars and how the public lived through those and the years in between. Open to trying a new genre and also quite new to Audiobooks.
