I live in East Hoathly but there are no book clubs here so looking in Lewes or Uckfield (or Hesthfield) I like all sorts of books but into Elizabeth Strout at the moment. Love her restrained writing.

Recently moved to St Leonards. I like to read but not so good at discussing books, but I would like to learn and make some new acquaintances. My background is in science, which doesn’t fit in with Hastings/St Leonards culture I am beginning to find out. I do not like science fiction too much though! I like all kinds of books and mainly read books my friends have suggested.

Shera (Lewes)

Hi, I’m Shera, a mother. I'm 40 and tend to be quite introverted, so I’ve been looking for a way to meet new people that feels natural. A book club seemed like the right fit, since reading is something I genuinely love. I mostly read fiction, though I’m open to any genre and always appreciate recommendations. Mike Gayle is my favourite author, and his books are usually my comfort reads.

Shera recommends:

Half a world away

I feel a sense of connection while reading it. It is a story that will stay with you long after you read. I have read it twice and the third time is on its way.

Bookhorder23 (Hastings)

Romance, fantasy, action, emotional rollercoasters

Margery (Eastbourne)

I’m recently widowed, retired and a keen reader. I love discussing books and hearing other people’s views on the books I like, and discovering new authors.

Gay reader (Pevensey)

Recently moved back to Pevensey and am missing LGBT friends and books. Be great to share plots and thoughts on LGBT writing

Allegra (Crowborough)
