Lagos is hosting an awesome book party

And the best part? You can join in!

The party is scheduled on Sunday Dec 18th, 2016. It doesn't matter if you are still a learner in this book stuff, come through.

Themed, 'Throwback to the Classics, attendees are  to come dressed as a classic character in a book or come dressed as themselves.

"We are making this an event that everyone will look forward to. Reading should not be left to intellectuals. Everyone should be able to read for fun," says Abigail Anaba, convener of #GrillandRead.

Anaba maintains that putting people in proximity to books is the first step in getting them to read. "At every #GrillandRead event, two places where people always converge is the grill point and the publisher stands. You have to have books in order to read them."

This edition will feature all the regulars that #GrillandRead is known for and a few extras. There will be talks on 'Overcoming Reader's Block', by Speech Craftsman and Speech Coach , Chris Nkwocha.

Travel writer and journalist, Pelu Awofeso @PeluAwofeso will also talk about his journey to 18 states in Nigeria as documented in his book, "Tour of Duty".

Also to be featured is an art exhibition with the works of Toni Kuyinu @tonikuyinu. And some inspirational stuff from Sally Dadzie @mosekedapages, a young author who made recent history by having 150,000 copies of her work downloaded on the Okada books platform
