Book clubs in Lekki, without the homework.

How a silent book club works

There's no assigned title and nothing to prepare. You bring whatever you're reading — novel, memoir, manga, a work report you keep avoiding. We read quietly together for about an hour, then the room opens for conversation, recommendations and drinks.

It suits introverts, fast readers, slow readers, and anyone in Lagos whose reading habit has quietly died in the group-chat era.
