Mary

I am a woman in my early 60's, young at heart and interested in most genres of books. I don't feel I get out enough! So looking for an evening book club to have friendly and interesting discussion with like minded people and to widen my social circle. I do work full-time, have two small grandchildren, go to the gym regularly and generally very busy person but would like to do something more for me! I live in Polegate so Pevensey is within easy distance for me.

Tell Me What I Am

by Una Mannion | Learn more and buy

Compelling and moving. I really engaged with the characters.

Eva

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!

Eva recommends:

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.

Hannah

I'm an avid but slow reader, mostly of fiction but will ultimately read anything. I've very recently relocated to Eastbourne and would love to find some local book friends

_FelineFairytales_

Hi, I am a 34 year old Romantasy book lover! Although I love romantasy, I am also partial to all genres, including historical fiction, thriller and horror. I am at the point where I have exhausted all my non-reader friends with stories of Fae and dragons, so looking for a book club who won’t exhaust from book chats!

_FelineFairytales_ recommends:

Throne of the fallen

by Kerri Maniscalco | Learn more and buy

Everything I love about Romantasy, trials, enemies to lovers, slow burn and so much more! Just missing some dragons

Bunny

by Mona Awad | Learn more and buy

This book is best read not knowing what you’re getting yourself into!

Paige

I am a 29 year old bookworm and aspiring author, looking to join or start a bookclub in and around Eastbourne. I read a lot of thrillers but also enjoy some horror, romance and fantasy. I am part of the book communities on Instagram and Tiktok and love them both but would love to be able to meet and discuss books in person!

Bookreader75

Also fallen into a reading rut and looking for a reading group to join and re-grow interest. 75 years of age

Seun

Hi, I used to be an avid reader but have fallen into a rut and I was hoping joining a book club would help. I love thrillers, drama but I'm reading a lot of African fiction recently.

Seun recommends:

The Death of Vivek Oji

by Akwaeke Emezi | Learn more and buy

The story and plot is different to anything I had read in a long time and I was hooked from beginning to the last page. The writing evoked emotions in me. I mean the book is literally called the death of Vivek Oji, but when he died, I was so sad, I cried.

Grace

My name is Grace. I’m originally from South America but I’ve been living in the UK for 30 years and in Eastbourne for twelve. I work on my own which makes it difficult to meet people and make friends.I’m a total gym bunny and love anything active — walking, cycling, you name it. I’m also into foreign films, languages, reading and generally socialising. Just looking to meet other ladies, whether we share the same interests or not.

Maria

A thoroughly nice and funny bookworm

Maria recommends:

Swan Song

by Robert R McCammon | Learn more and buy

Such a wonderful story that pulls you right in immediately, and never let’s go until the last page.

Julija

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.

Justin

Enjoy discussing books and hearing about other people and their passions. My personal book choices are European History and Travel books.

Allison

A book lover

Tina

I am in my 50s and have just started a full time admin role, but it is mainly working from home so I have most evenings free (Netflix can be addictive but I want to keep my brain active). I avidly listen to audio books but would like to get back to reading the old fashioned way! I like popular fiction, self help, biographies or anything thought-provoking and discussion-worthy.

Tina recommends:

Sociopath

by Patric Gagne | Learn more and buy

The female author diagnosed herself as a sociopath, and decided to take control of her life and fight against her instincts in order to be ‘normal’. Surprisingly addictive and uplifting read.
