Join me in 2025 to (re)discover East Africa (and the Indian Ocean) through its authors and stories. Each month, explore a book by an author from a selected country or set in that country. You’ll find book suggestions in English and French, but feel free to choose any book—fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or even comics. Let’s dive into the rich, untold histories and vibrant narratives of this region.

Happy reading! 📚
