Stories In Conversations: Book Club Meeting

This event is a specially curated end-of-year gathering designed for dedicated bibliophiles, hosted by Ogechi Wachukwu and Ibiye Boyle proudly sponsored by Storied Craft. While our community traditionally meets to pitch new titles, we are shaking things up for a festive, high-energy session focused on connection, play, and deep literary conversation.

This December, our community focus turns to The Shipikisha Club by Mubanga Kalimamukwento.

What We'll Cover

Deep-dive discussion on The Shipikisha Club: unpacking its narrative structure, character arcs, and core themes.

Interactive literary games & trivia: fun, bookish icebreakers and team challenges to test your literary knowledge.

Community networking: dedicated time to mingle, swap end-of-year reading lists, and connect with fellow book lovers.

Open conversation on our favorite reads of 2026 and what reading in community has meant to us.
