Cathy

I live in East Hoathly but there are no book clubs here so looking in Lewes or Uckfield (or Hesthfield) I like all sorts of books but into Elizabeth Strout at the moment. Love her restrained writing.

August Blue

by Deborah Levy | Learn more and buy

The writing is so succinct and well crafted, I love everything about this author.

Rose

I’ve always been an avid reader, different genres. I work from home and would love to combine a good chat about books (or films) with the chance to leave the house and meet like minded people!

The Forty Rules of Love

by Elif Sharak | Learn more and buy

This book opened the door for me into Sufi mysticism. The relationship between Shams and Rumi raised interesting questions about love, ego, friendship, and transformation. I also enjoyed how relatable the characters felt, despite living in a completely different time and culture. Their struggles and emotions felt very real and very human. More than a hint of magical realism too, which always works for me. Despite the challenges and tragedies in the story, it left me with a sense of joy and optimism and wanting to learn more about the spiritual ideas and themes the book explores.

Gill

Recently moved here from Yorkshire. Love reading and would love to meet and chat with other book lovers.

Fairly new to Lewes, avid reader, hoping to widen my reading interests

Shera

Hi, I’m Shera, a mother. I'm 40 and tend to be quite introverted, so I’ve been looking for a way to meet new people that feels natural. A book club seemed like the right fit, since reading is something I genuinely love. I mostly read fiction, though I’m open to any genre and always appreciate recommendations. Mike Gayle is my favourite author, and his books are usually my comfort reads.

Half a world away

by Mike Gayle | Learn more and buy

I feel a sense of connection while reading it. It is a story that will stay with you long after you read. I have read it twice and the third time is on its way.

Turning Pages

A book group to talk about the novel we have all read that week...and perhaps read plays together in an evening as a group. We vote on books to read and chat about them over tea / wine / both...

Chloe

I'm Chloe, I'm 42. I love books. Looking for a book group to give me more of a reading habit and to meet new people. I enjoy fantasy, such as Twilight, classics such as Little Women, Sense and Sensibility, and the Sun Also Rises. Loved the Bell Jar too. I also enjoy suspense filled thrillers such as Verity. Reading plays is fun. Would love to read a play in a night with a group, Oh and I think Manga is stunning.

Hugh

Mid-40s, a reader for work but have recently become fairly neglectful of reading for fun. I'm really looking to join a book club, meet new friends and encourage myself to read more for pleasure.

Shelly

I’m in my smut era, currently working my way through the sports MM romances on KU. Just looking for conversations and recommendations, happy to recommend. I’m on my 40th book this year!

The last couple of years I have rediscovered my love of reading. I'm really enjoying myself and would like to share recommendations and discuss books with like minded people.

Bex

I'm a keen reader who would love to escape the confines of motherhood occasionally to chat about books, I'd love to broaden my horizons in terms of genres and meet some new people.
