About

The idea for this book club came from Helen Nde of Mythological Africans, and the booklist is based on the bibliography work that Laura Gibbs has been doing for her African Folktale bibliography project. You can find us both at Twitter, and we look forward to connecting with new people who are fans of traditional African storytelling. If you have questions, suggestions, or any other comments, let us know! We can connect and share at Twitter using the hashtag #AnansiBookClub.

Here's the key idea: if we are reading VERY SHORT books, everybody really will have plenty of time to do the reading, because it won't take much time at all. Plus, the books are all free to read online at the Internet Archive!

And now........... have you cast your vote for the books to read in May? If not, you can find out more about the books and then vote here: May 2022.. Thanks in advance for your input, and we'll announce the books for May on May 1. Find out more at the Calendar.
