Book clubs in Hastings

Below you'll find every book club we know of in Hastings, as well as readers looking for one.

Lorri

Seeking a book club

I’m in my 50s. I used to love reading all different genres but life got in the way and I struggled to find time to read. I love anything from the classics to Harry Potter, crime/thrillers and some romance. I also like to learn about different things and about natural medicine. I feel like I must have missed out of some great books so that’s why I would like to join a book club.

Shaun

Seeking a book club

I'm a playwright and novelist from the Hastings area.

Kayleigh

Seeking a book club

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

Seeking a book club

Currently reading The Offing and loving it. Previously read Orbital, which is beautifully written, although most of us said, But… I’m looking to move to T Wells from Hastings, and checking out the lie of book-groups’ land. I’m not a fan of crime, sci-fi or fantasy. Always happy to have some nice food incorporated into meet ups!

Everything I never told you

by Celeste Ng | Learn more and buy

This is a highly descriptive novel that reveals the extraordinary within the ordinary. There is so much love within the relationships of the characters that bring warmth to a harrowing tale

The Island

by Victoria Hislop | Learn more and buy

This book is historically elucidating. I could sense the plight of the protagonists across several generations. It gave an insight into the cross-generational struggles of family secrets

Jeremy

Seeking a book club

I have read widely, but my present preference seems to be contemporary literature. For example, I enjoy an experimental form of writing by authors such as Lorrie Moore and Celeste Ng. Also I like the more allegorical sense of magic realism. I'm not a great fan of crime fiction or where murder is the central tenet of the narrative - this is not to say I do not go there, I just prefer authors whose imaginations break outside the norms. Pop fiction can be quite fun, especially when they provide some new thought or insight.
