Chloe (Lewes)

Seeking a book club

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.

Kayleigh (Hastings)

Seeking a book club

I'm obsessed with dark romance, whether they be MF or FF. Iโ€™m looking for a women-only safe space who love diving into steamy encounters, intense emotions and a bit of healthy yearning (aka smut). Iโ€™m also a huge fan of thrillers, historical and fantasy. Jane Austen, Anna Zaires and Runyx are currently my favourite authors.
