RobB (Brighton)

Love reading and want to broaden my horizons and meet like minded people. Enjoy reading books that really take you to a place outside of your lived experience. Most recent 5 star reviews - The Island of Missing trees, The Wager and Young Mungo. I love in Hove and would love to find somewhere local.

The Wager  by David Grann
The Wager
by David Grann | Buy this book
An Adventure I'd never heard of based on the written logs of the people involved l. Often conflicting accounts so you have to make your own best guesses as to the true nature of the characters based on the information available. It's an extraordinary tale that had me open mouthed for the entire time!

Maya (Hailsham)

Book girlie in her early 30s, hoping to find some fellow bookish friends locally (in & around Eastbourne area). I'm a fiction lover (mostly thrillers and romance), but have recently read some historical fiction and memoirs too. Favourite authors include; Jessa Hastings, Freida McFadden, Lucy Foley, Elle Kennedy, Emily Henry, Lauren Asher & Elsie Silver. I follow lots of bookish people on YouTube and Instagram, but thought it might be fun to be able to chat to people nearby about recent reads and/ or to get recommendations. :)

Carolyn (Uckfield)

Hi, I’m 65, I love reading a variety of genres. Would like a club that is also social and maybe does things other than read books, but that is not a deal breaker. I want to meet in a neutral territory ie not in each others houses. I’m due to retire in July so will have a lot more time to read. I currently read about 4 books a month. Some quicker than others. I very rarely give up on a book but occasionally there is one that I just cannot finish. My daughter loves her book group and I also have a friend who enjoys her book group meetings.

J. King-Visser. (Hailsham)

Hi, My name is John, and I'm eager to connect and network with other authors. I'm open to both online interactions and meeting in person at libraries in or around my town. I'm taking my first steps towards becoming a published author, and I would love to learn more about the process from experienced writers. Recently, I have been in touch with some publishers, but I'm concerned they might not have my best interests at heart. I've completed writing a children's story and have started the journey of creating a series. At the moment, I’m working on the artwork for the book myself. Looking forward to connecting with you!
