All listings in West Sussex

Peter (Horsham)

I am an avid reader and used to belong to a book club which I found very rewarding. It encouraged me to read books that I wouldn't normally consider. I also really enjoyed having a lively debate, particularly with people who had a different view to me about a particular book.

Looking to meet people who love reading as much as I do!

Suzanne (Midhurst)

Looking to meet new people and discuss a range of literature - I hope to be inspired to read new things

I'm Lauren, such a massive bookworm, looking to meet like minded people. Love crime and horror but also love romance/love stories.

Leah (Worthing)

Hi! I'm Leah. I have always been an avid reader, some of my favourite genres are fantasy (like ASoIaF and LotR) and history books whether fictional retellings or non fiction. I'm not fussy on genre though, as long as it keeps me interested. I would love to discuss anything with those with similar interests.

The Bear and the Nightingale

by Katherine Arden | Buy this book

A wonderful winter read, this book is a beautiful, lyrically written story set in a fantasy version of medieval Russia. It is a truly magical book.

PJ (Crawley)

I like quite a varied list of genres from romance, action, fantasy, futuristic / space. Not sure I’m a classics type of person because the old English language I find really difficult to read and understand. Mainly I want to get out more and interact with people and I enjoy books so I thought this could be a good fit. Never done it before so nervous and shy.

PJ recommends:

Hounded

by Kevin Hearne | Buy this book

It takes a little while to get into the first book of any series, but once you get used to the character names and their personalities you fall in love with the book and can’t put it down. I love the escapism with this book. It’s quirky and interesting and believable in a very fantasy kind of way. The detailed descriptions are great but not over done so it’s easy to read and focus on the story. I definitely got emotionally invested reading this series of books.

Sarah (Haywards Heath)

I have recently changed job, my daughter has left for uni and I have time to read again. I moved to Haywards Heath two years ago so would also like to meet new people who enjoy reading. I like historical novels, magic realism, and nothing too blood thirsty or graphic. Recently read Anthony Doerr's Cloud Cuckoo Land and just loved it.

Sarah recommends:

Cloud Cuckoo Land

by Anthony Doerr | Buy this book

It is several stories interwoven, set in different times and places, but all connected by the Diogenes story of cloud cuckoo land. That's the best explanation I can give.. it is beautifully written and enchanting.

Beverley (East Grinstead)

I am retired and am an avid book reader. I’ve been in a book club before and I like that it got me to read things that I would never have chosen, many of which I loved. I moved to the area last year and would like to join another club and meet book lovers like me.

Beverley recommends:

Still Life

by Sarah Winman | Buy this book

A young British soldier meets an older female art historian in Florence during World War II and the story traces their lives for decades. It is beautifully written and life affirming
