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.

Bradley

I'm a 30 year old sociable introvert looking to get out of the house more and be around likeminded people. Build connections, make new friends, that kind of thing. I don't have many books currently but I recently went into Waterstones (Eastbourne) and was surprised to find that a number of books caught my eye, mainly fantasy, post-apocalypse and manga. I quite often wander to a Cafe/open field and just relax while I read. Feel free to email me if you're interested in chatting, recommending a book over a coffee or just want more people to talk to. I'm a nice guy. (Posted April, 2025)

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.

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!

The Death of Vivek Oji

by Akwaeke Emezi | Buy this book

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.

Wild swans

by Jung Chang | Buy this book

Wow - what an eye opener. Had little knowledge of Chinese history and culture before reading this.

Eva

Curious and open minded!

Eva recommends:

Chariots of the Gods

by Erich Von Daniken | Buy this book

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 | Buy this book

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.

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!
