The little liar

by Mitch albom | Learn more and buy

A great story about a boy growing up in the nazi "final solution " . An excellent read of how youth bends the future to live through the atrocities of the holocaust.

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!

Tanzie (Pevensey)

Bookworm who likes most genres especially something with a bit of history thrown in!

Isobel (Rye)

I’m in Rye for three months, maybe longer, and I’d like to join a book club while I’m here. Missing my home town book club! Will read (almost) anything and everything…

Eva (Eastbourne)

While I am a slow reader, I love reading. Anything but fiction and the more contravercial the better the read! Would love to have someone to bounce ideas and opinions off of. Exchange book suggestions on what to read next!

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.

Molly (Bexhill-on-Sea)

Literature graduate and primary school teacher. Looking for people who just love to read! I mostly read general fiction, fantasy, and a bit of crime fiction.

Cathy (Uckfield)

I love reading and have never had the time to join a book club - I think I have quite wide taste - I’m not a fan of science fiction though!

Cathy recommends:

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. :)
