Love to read both fiction and non fiction, would love to join a local book club and meet new people.

Old Town Book Group

A new group started for coffee, friendship and a mutual love of books. Meet on the third Sunday of every month. The first meet up will be Sunday 24th August at The Tennis Cafe, Gildredge Park, Eastbourne at 10am. Bring your book suggestions, good humour and we’ll take it from there!

Emily

Hi, I’m Emily, 45 and an avid reader. I’d love to meet up over coffee and talk about a book and get suggestions from others on what to read next. I love dystopian fiction, historical drama, crime and chick lit. Always interested in new genres and new suggestions.

Meryl

28 and recently moved to Eastbourne. I'm currently loving getting back into reading, and thought a book club would be a great way to meet some new people. I like reading a mix of books, usually modern fiction or something on the Booker list, but also like crime, and fantasy. I'm not great at sticking with non-fiction, but would happily give it a try! Ideally would like to set up a monthly book group for people in their 20s and 30s in Eastbourne :)

Holly

31 from Eastbourne. Love love love reading I always have done . I read every minute I can which is less these days because I have an autistic non verbal child. So getting out the house to go and read will be an absolute dream. I read just about anything. I'm a huge mood reader with a very long TBR. Historical fiction I can't get In to buy other that that were away haha. 💪🏼

Hi, I'm 34 years old and living in Eastbourne. I love reading and I usually go for fantasy, sci-fi, classics, modern fiction and some non-fiction. It would be nice to chat about books and also get new recommendations.

I would like to get back into reading novels and discussing the themes with a group

Rachel

Hello I’m a 37yo F from Eastbourne. I really like reading a wide genre of books, particularly thrillers, crime, romance. I read everyday, and I’m looking for the social element of joining a book club and discussing reads together - also being pushed to read novels I wouldn’t normally!

Justin

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

M

I’m 48, female, and self employed so have flexible times to enjoy books and storytelling. I particularly enjoy fantasy with a smattering of romance and spirituality, and a bit of magic :) Humour and cleverly put together narrative are especially enjoyable to me :) Looking to connect with like minds - lots of my reading is done in parks and on the beach and I’d love to meet with others either outdoors, or in libraries, cafes, etc to read the same or different things. Would love to hear from you.

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.

Sociopath

by Patric Gagne | Buy this book

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.

Ejiro

I am new in Eastbourne. Never joined a club before. I enjoy reading academic books and literature. Will love to meet new people while discussing books.

Richard

I read everyday and am already a member of a Patreon book club but would like to join another. I enjoy Horror, Sci-Fi, thrillers and classics

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!

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.

Compelling and moving. I really engaged with the characters.

Carina

Hi, I would like to connect with other people over books, mainly reading contemporary, historical fiction, sci-fi, feminism but open to most genres.

_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!

Throne of the fallen

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