Chapter 34

A new and exciting bookshop and event space in Shoreham-By-Sea.

02/11/2026

Sick of seeing the same books on ‘Bookstagram’ and YouTube who rely on engagement metrics, thumbs up, shares, celebrity and comments rather than traditional methods like humans reading them and physicality shouting about them.

If a book spikes, the algorithm feeds it to millions of other users, creating massive sales. But what if those books aren’t the best books? What if those books aren’t from indie publishers, what if incredible titles don’t make it onto social media?

Sure, we know that lots of books that make it onto social platforms are incredible. But imagine if you found a shop where the shelves are full of gems. Gems!!

We wouldn’t be here without you. We love being part of the Shoreham By Sea community. Every bit of support helps us keep Chapter 34 thriving. Every time you chose us over Am@z@n, every time you buy a coffee. Every time you come to a book festival where we’re book selling, every time you buy a gift card.

We appreciate it more than words can say!

But are often asked if there’s a way you can support us without buying books so we’ve opened a Ko-fi.com account.

It’s a simple way to pop over a few quid, no pressure, just for those who’d like to buy us a cuppa every now and then.

Join us for a cosy February day retreat in the heart of the Sussex countryside.

We’ll gather at Firle Village Hall and indulge ourselves in two book clubs, a stroll around the village, a wholesome vegetarian lunch and some lovely company.

What could be better than a day out of life, spending time with like-minded folk, dissecting books, eating wholesome food and getting some fresh air?

We’ll be reading two books for our day together. One will be a modern work of literary fiction, while the other might be a well-loved title from years gone by, perhaps one you’ve always meant to read or would love to revisit. Both will be chosen to get us thinking, talking and, quite possibly, disagreeing!

Kelly and Carmen will be your hosts for the day, with Carmen leading our two book clubs. Carmen currently runs three book clubs at our beautiful bookshop, Chapter 34, including the very popular Nature Nurturers Book Club. If you don’t know Carmen already, she’s an avid reader who will guide us through her chosen titles with the enthusiasm and attention to detail of a seasoned forager.

Tickets for the day include all refreshments, lunch and both your book club books. More information at chapter34.co.uk

Yes we have 7 book clubs here at Chapter34! Here’s a glimpse of what we’re reading this month.

18/10/2026

It’s a real mix this week, short stories, a book club title and not one but two non-fiction books.

Carmen and Angie are both loving the short stories inside the glorious ‘Fen’ by Daisy May Johnson

Angie’s re-reading a Booker Prize Winner for her Edgy Book Club, ‘Prophet Song’ by the incredible Paul Lynch

Kelly’s delving into ‘The Castle’ by one of her favourite investigative journalists Jon Ronson and she’s pretty pleased about her Katherine May proof ‘Tending’
