Melanie (Chichester)

Reading is basically 99% of my personality at this point ;-) I read almost anything I can escape into… crime, fantasy, romance. I alternate between audible (counting the days until the new Richard Osman downloads on 25 Sep!) and paperback or even Kindle Unlimited for an unknown gem. I’d love to find a book club, it’s been on my “list” for ages and hoping to meet some lovely people and talk about books. Even considering setting up a book club as from a quick peruse on here it seems there are lots of lovely avid readers and just not many actual book clubs. If anyone would like to start a book club with me please do reach out! I am based in Haslemere but happy to travel a little… I’d be hoping to do on a mon, thurs or Fri evening (when my husband will be home for our girls). Anyone fancy a fantasy book club? Romance? Combined ;-) or crime/thriller? Dark fantasy romance thriller ;-)

Kate (Petworth)

I have rediscovered reading in the past free years and usually have 3 books on the go - Kindle, Audio and ‘real’. I’d love to get to know people in my local area as well as chat about books.

Bookworm71 (Burgess Hill)

I am a retired teacher who has always loved reading. I enjoy different genres: romance, detective, historical fiction and non-fiction and magical. Not too keen on sci-fi but happy to give everything a try. I would really like to meet up with other people and have the chance to discuss books with them in a social setting. I see it as a great opportunity to make new friends whilst doing something you really enjoy.

Citadel

by Kate Mosse | Buy this book

It's a mixture of genres: historical, romance, mystery and is one of a trilogy. She writes very well and was inspired to write these books when she moved to Carcasonne and became fascinated by the history of the Cathars.

Clare (Littlehampton)

Looking to join a book group for socialising and explore new interesting reads. I'll mostly go for fantasy, but have been mixing it up recently with murder mystery, nonfiction and have particularly enjoyed the slice of life/fantasy "Legends and Lattes" by Travis Baldree.

Maria i (Arundel)

I've recently moved from Cornwall where I was part of an active book club to West Sussex and though not an avid reader I would like to belong to a group for social reasons as well as the introduction of new books. I enjoy fiction and non fiction. I suppose I go for psychological thrillers and books that make you think but I'm open to reading anything within reason.

elrichie (Arundel)

I read every single night, and my poor bookshelf is bursting at the seams. I love stories with great characters and ones that stick with you. A few of my favourites are Throne of Glass (I can’t resist a good fantasy), One Day (because it broke my heart in the best way), and Cleo and Frank (I love a messy, modern love story). I wanted to join a book club as my poor partner is probably sick of hearing me rambling on and waking them up in the night to tell them a plot twist!!

Kim (Chichester)

I am an avid reader, mainly crime thrillers and romances but most genres. I am also an author. My debut novel, The Refugee.

Ambrose (Littlehampton)

Hi! I'm Ambrose and I enjoy reading dystopian, science fiction and mystery novels mainly. I am currently on my summer holiday after finishing my GCSEs and am looking for a book group to try and keep myself occupied. I am currently reading The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.

CharliePW01 (Littlehampton)

I am 23 years old, live in Rustington -- although planning on moving to Southampton eventually -- looking to expand my horizons and look for new opportunities to bond over shared interests and get back into reading. I was previously reading SAGAs, and was especially keen on Rosie Goodwin's 'A Maiden's Voyage' and Emma Hornby's 'A Maid's Discrace' last year.

A Maiden's Voyage

by Rosie Goodwin | Buy this book

I really felt a strong connection with the main character and her story, as well as the historical context surrounding the book; I'm personally very drawn to historical SAGAs, particularly those set in this period (Victorian and Edwardian eras). I couldn't put this book down easily, and was always drawn to what would come next, would strongly recommend a read.

Millie (Worthing)

Hi I'm millie, I've started getting back into reading this past year and really would love to join a book club to ramble about my favourite books. My favourite genres are fantasy and romance, my favourite books are fourth wing, quicksilver and crow .

Forth wing

I love the balance between fantasy and romance and I love the dragons, I was gripped the moment I started reading and have already reread it haha

keeley (Worthing)

I'm Kee, I'm 26, and I'm a book blogger. I'm in the process of setting up my own book club! I read a wide range of genres, but in particular at the moment I'm enjoying literary fiction and horror.

Katie (Arundel)

I love reading romance books mostly and a bit of fantasy/romantasy. Looking to make new bookish friends around my age (late 20’s/30’s) to chat books with and maybe meet up and form a book club.

Katie recommends:

Promise Me Sunshine

by Cara Bastone | Buy this book

My favourite book that I’ve read so far this year! It deals with loss, grief and having to move forward in such a funny, messy, chaotic and relatable way. Perfection.

Roberta (Burgess Hill)

Love reading fantasy, thriller and classics but flexible with other genres. Would like to find a book club to join, meet people and discuss books

Miloricket (Haywards Heath)

I’m a cool guy, looking to express my love for books and reading

Rebecca (Hassocks)

I want to take up reading again and love the idea of a book club, it’s interesting to see other’s perspectives on the books and also nice to meet new local people. My preferred genres are true life stories and biographical.
