Revyvely Reads

Welcome to Revyvely Reads: a quiet corner of Revyvely for people who’d rather be reading. One book a month, one relaxed meet-up, in person or online, and no pressure to have finished it (or liked it).

How it works

  • Read

    One book a month, announced early, read at your own pace.

  • Meet

    Join us over tea or coffee in Birmingham, or from your own sofa online.

  • Talk

    Easy conversation, a few prompts if you want them, and no wrong opinions.

November's Read - Our 1st Read

The Lies of the Ajungo by Moses Ose Utomi

A boy, a dying city and a desert that seems to go on forever. Part fable, part fantasy, and short enough to read in a weekend. A small book to start us off, with plenty to talk about.

FAQs

Where do the meet-ups happen?

In person in Birmingham, England each month, with a warm drink, light bites and good company. 

What if I can’t make it to Birmingham?

That's fine, you can join the meet-up virtually and join the discussion from anywhere in the world. Same book, same conversation, from your own sofa.

Do I have to attend every month?

We’d love to see you each month, because the conversation is richer with a regular group. But life happens, so if you miss a month you’re always welcome back.

Do I need to finish the book?

Ideally, yes, as the conversation is better for it. But if life got in the way, come anyway. No one will quiz you.

Will you be meeting in other cities?

We’d love to. Revyvely Reads is open to readers and hosts everywhere, from Lagos and Abuja to Paris, London, Manchester and beyond. If you’d like to bring the club to your city, get in touch.
