RobB

Seeking a book club

Love reading and want to broaden my horizons and meet like minded people. Enjoy reading books that really take you to a place outside of your lived experience. Most recent 5 star reviews - The Island of Missing trees, The Wager and Young Mungo. I love in Hove and would love to find somewhere local.

The Wager  by David Grann
The Wager

An Adventure I'd never heard of based on the written logs of the people involved l. Often conflicting accounts so you have to make your own best guesses as to the true nature of the characters based on the information available. It's an extraordinary tale that had me open mouthed for the entire time!

Dee

Seeking a book club

I’ve recently moved to Brighton and would love to join a book club where I can share and read just to enjoy. I run a charity teaching meditation to help those suffering from traumatic stress. I love what I do but would really appreciate getting back to being an avid reader.

Child of the phoenix
by Barbara Eskwine | Learn more and buy
It’s a haunting mystical saga set in the 12th Century. It takes you from the dramatic valleys of Wales to the magical Highlands of Scotland to the Plantagenet court of London. It will sweep you away

Kitty_Mac

Seeking a book club

I’m a young woman living in Brighton and looking for a book club to join. My favourite recent reads include the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, and Lonsome Dove by Larry McMurtry. I always enjoy dissecting a read, whether I liked it or not, and hearing what other people gleamed from the same book.
