A really fun read that mixes history with fantasy fiction.

Martyr!

A fascinating book that looks at conflict, relationships, loss and a lot more.

This and That (Hastings)

Currently reading The Offing and loving it. Previously read Orbital, which is beautifully written, although most of us said, But… I’m looking to move to T Wells from Hastings, and checking out the lie of book-groups’ land. I’m not a fan of crime, sci-fi or fantasy. Always happy to have some nice food incorporated into meet ups!

Jerry (Bexhill-on-Sea)

I have a love for reading across a wide range of genres, though I’m especially drawn to non-fiction, history, autobiographies, romance, fiction, and classic literature. I enjoy discovering new perspectives through books and exchanging thoughts and ideas with other passionate readers. I’m looking to join a book group to connect with like-minded people, share recommendations, and explore titles I might not have picked up on my own. Beyond reading, I have a deep appreciation for classical music and often find joy in long walks, whether through the city or out in nature. I’d love to meet others who share not only a love of books but also an interest in exploring our surroundings, engaging in good conversation, and building meaningful friendships along the way.

Hi, I’m Emily, 45 and an avid reader. I’d love to meet up over coffee and talk about a book and get suggestions from others on what to read next. I love dystopian fiction, historical drama, crime and chick lit. Always interested in new genres and new suggestions.

Meryl (Eastbourne)

28 and recently moved to Eastbourne. I'm currently loving getting back into reading, and thought a book club would be a great way to meet some new people. I like reading a mix of books, usually modern fiction or something on the Booker list, but also like crime, and fantasy. I'm not great at sticking with non-fiction, but would happily give it a try! Ideally would like to set up a monthly book group for people in their 20s and 30s in Eastbourne :)

Holly (Eastbourne)

31 from Eastbourne. Love love love reading I always have done . I read every minute I can which is less these days because I have an autistic non verbal child. So getting out the house to go and read will be an absolute dream. I read just about anything. I'm a huge mood reader with a very long TBR. Historical fiction I can't get In to buy other that that were away haha. 💪🏼

Sophie (Eastbourne)

Hi, I'm 34 years old and living in Eastbourne. I love reading and I usually go for fantasy, sci-fi, classics, modern fiction and some non-fiction. It would be nice to chat about books and also get new recommendations.
