Bring your own book and read in companionable quiet. It’s like an Introvert Happy Hour!  \n\n\n\nWhat do I bring?  \n\n\n\nBring your current read\, or choose one when you get here. Bring a friend\, or come by yourself.  \n\n\n\nHow silent will it be?  \n\n\n\nWe’re meeting in public\, so there will be some ambient noise. Feel free to bring headphones\, book lights or ear defenders if you want. We read together quietly with no expectation of talking.  \n\n\n\nDo I have to read?  \n\n\n\nYou can read anything in any format\, or bring along homework\, writing\, art or craft – anything you can work on quietly! Fancy a chat?  \n\n\n\nFeel free to stay afterwards and socialise – but there’s no pressure to do this\, and the club will officially end after an hour of reading.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Peter Kalu  and Muli Amaye

Pete Kalu’s new book Act Normal is a memoir filled with stories\, from the real to the surreal. Muli Amaye is a novelist and short story writer whose new book is The Black Writer’s Toolbox. \n \nPete Kalu’s stories range in style from the real to the surreal to the comic. His latest book is Act Normal (HopeRoad October 2025)\, shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize 2026. He received a Society of Authors Travelling Scholarship Award in 2024 to help complete this work which is “impressively experimental\, thoughtful and challenging.” For many years he ran a Trinidad-inspired Carnival band called Moko Jumbi and the trickster character of West African and Cariibbean folklore has been an abiding influence on his art. \n \nMuli Amaye is a novelist and short story writer. Her debut novel\, A House With No Angels\, was published by Crocus Press in 2019. Her short fiction has been published in anthologies and literary journals. In 2024 she was longlisted for the Commonwealth writer’s prize and made the second round of the Bridport Prize with her short story\, The Woman Who Swallowed Herself.
