Jamela

Seeking a book club

I love a good read. My taste can be quite eclectic. I have read Eleanor Oliphant and have enjoyed a whole collection of books by John Boyne. I have recently discovered Paul Murray - A bee Sting. I would love to meet and discuss good books as well as getting some good recommendations. I also enjoy chatting !

Alice

Seeking a book club

I love reading and am looking to make some bookish friends. I read a lot of fantasy in my teenage years and transitioned into magical realism and standard fiction as an adult but will give anything a go!

Claire

Seeking a book club

I have always loved reading but have recently renewed my passion. I am a busy mum (to a teenager and toddlers!) in my late 30s. I love to use any free time I get to escape into a good book. I really enjoy a good psychological thriller. But my particular love is a thought provoking and emotional read (one of my favourites is A Little Life, Hanya Yanagihara). Would love recommendations and discussions.

Catherine

Seeking a book club

I used to read a lot as a child but as I grew up ‘life’ often meant that I was too busy or too tired to pick up a book. I’m now in my 40’s and have just worked through the hardest few years of my life. My escapism when everything felt too much - Reading! The light has been restored! and I now feel confident enough to try and share this love of books with other likeminded people. I love book browsing just as much as I love reading and I can often be found browsing bookshops, charity shops, Amazon, Goodreads, instagram … anywhere where I might come across a hidden jewel that I just have to add to my TBR list! Enjoy most genres although I tend to avoid fantasy as it’s not really my cup of tea. Saying that, there are always exceptions. ☺️

Seeking a book club

I love to read, and I have been in a couple of book clubs in the past couple of years of different sizes. Sadly most of them have fallen to the wayside now as all the members have moved around geographically and we are just all a bit too far apart. I am looking to join (or start if there’s others who have a similar idea) a book club in the local Horsham area to meet people who are equally passionate about reading. I really want an opportunity to make more friends who share this passion, as I feel it is an absence in my life currently. I would really just love to be able to get together on a monthly basis (or fortnightly depending on availability) to discuss books and get to share recommendations and literary interests with people who feel similarly to me.

A darker shade of magic by V. E. Schwab
A darker shade of magic
by V. E. Schwab | Learn more and buy
It’s the first of a fantasy series which explores parallel universe worlds where magic has a variety of expressions and impacts. Red London, Grey London, White London and Black London. Through a small group of characters the book explores this world of magic in such a visceral and exciting way, and the series only gets better with each book. For anyone who loves fantasy and magical realms, this is the book for you!

Carly

Seeking a book club

Retired recently, love books from family dramas, phsycological thrillers and just plain thrillers. I visit the library and enjoy trawling charity shops for books. Was in a book club where I used to live and loved reading books I never would have thought of.

Toby

Seeking a book club

Hi - I'm really keen to join like-minded people to discuss books and to broaden my horizons. I don't read a huge amount at the moment, partly because (as a lawyer) I spend a lot of my working day reading, but also because it's much more enjoyable to hear other people's perspectives on books. I'd also like to join a book club to expand my firendship group. I'm based in Southwater but coming to meetings in Horsham would be no problem.
