The Wager

by David Grann | Learn more and buy

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!

I’m a 32 year old woman somewhat new to the area looking to get stuck into reading again but just unsure where to start, and I would love to meet new people and open up my social circle.

Julija (Eastbourne)

I’m an avid reader with a particular love for character‑driven fiction and thoughtful non‑fiction that challenges how I see the world. Books have always been my way of unwinding, learning, and connecting with new perspectives. I enjoy discovering emerging authors, revisiting modern classics, and sharing reflections with others who appreciate meaningful discussion. Would love join a book club to broaden my reading horizons, hear diverse interpretations, and contribute to engaging conversations. I’m especially drawn to stories that explore human behaviour, resilience, and identity, and I’m excited to connect with fellow readers who enjoy discussion and new recommendations.

Maria (Eastbourne)

Would love to meet up with any other bookworms! Don’t mind what genre as I read so many different types of books. Please do get in touch.

Chariots of the Gods

by Erich Von Daniken | Learn more and buy

The ideas the author has put through in this book has made so many think so differently than the main stream narrative is just inspiring. While evidence is scattered all around the globe, they are however compiled in this little book. Very good read!

Destiny of Souls

by Michael Newton | Learn more and buy

The research of this extraordinary Phd Dr Michael Newton opens up to new experience for his clients as well as for people who have never stumbled upon anything like it. A truly mind blowing study with evidence to human mind and connection to something grater than ourselves.
