About us
We the book lovers, readers, artists, storytellers, dreamers and creatives from all walks of life come together as a community that celebrates the power of stories.
If you have a deep love for books & art, this community is for you. This book club is for the fantasy & sci-fi genres. These have inspired countless adaptations and many of our favorite IPs. These continue to inspire new stories everyday. These are part of our culture.
If you’re a fan of reading books and/or creating art but haven’t really immersed yourself in these genres yet, here are some amazing benefits they offer for you to consider them:
- They stimulate our creativity & imagination.
- Strengthen our emotional intelligence.
- Provide escapism and emotional release.
- Level up your storytelling and role-playing game.
- Provide powerful material for reflection on the world and the human experience.
- Help you connect with others.

In this group we like to read, draw & paint.
In between our monthly book club sessions we’ll be regularly hosting both online & in-person events to socialize, draw, paint and make new friends.

We hold a poll every month among our book club members to select the book we'll read.
Here is what you can expect from the books we read here:
- Fantasy & Sci-Fi.
- Adult books only (not YA).
- Strong and imaginative worldbuilding, intricate plots and thought-provoking themes.
- Only standalones and first books of series.
- Under 600 pages, but we're flexible if the poll favors a longer one.
- Widely popular. This includes works that have won major literary awards or been adapted (or being adapted) into films or TV shows or books that have simply captivated a huge audience.

📖 Book Description:
The Hexologists, Iz and Warren Wilby, are quite accustomed to helping desperate clients with the bugbears of city life. Aided by hexes and a bag of charmed relics, the Wilbies have recovered children abducted by chimney-wraiths, removed infestations of barb-nosed incubi, and ventured into the Gray Plains of the Unmade to soothe a troubled ghost. Well-acquainted with the weird, they never shy away from a challenging case.
But when they are approached by the royal secretary and told the king pleads to be baked into a cake—going so far as to wedge himself inside a lit oven—the Wilbies soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery that could very well see the nation turned on its head. Their effort to expose a royal secret buried under forty years of lies brings them nose to nose with a violent anti-royalist gang, avaricious ghouls, alchemists who draw their power from a hell-like dimension, and a bookish dragon who only occasionally eats people.
Armed with a love toughened by adversity and a stick of chalk that can conjure light from the darkness, hope from the hopeless, Iz and Warren Wilby are ready for a case that will test every spell, skill, and odd magical artifact in their considerable bag of tricks.30 attendees
