My Thoughts: First of all, I would start by congratulating myself for two things - the ability to start and finally finish reading my first non fiction book this year and my first ebook ever! However, I must state that the title wasn't attractive to me at all but after reading the mixed reviews and … Continue reading Book Review: The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Mason

The story … Continue reading Book Review: Our Son the Minister by Paul Ugbede

This book was hilarious to say the least. I enjoyed reading every bit of it. What can I say? it's Nigerian, it's the truth in your face, it's your everyday life on paper, Literarily! Elnathan John who happens to have written one of my favorite books "Born on a Tuesday" didn't fail me this time … Continue reading Book Review: Be(Com)ing Nigerian by Elnathan John
This memoir didn't turn out as I expected.

It turned … Continue reading Book Review: Educated by Tara Westover

I wish I was not so far away, Too far to be by your side, to serve you, to go anywhere with … Continue reading If Wishes were Horses……. a Poem by Biyai Garricks
