My Thoughts: 398 pages turned out to be quicker than I envisaged. 'Odufa: A Lover's Tale' was a very intriguing and emotional story for me. The first few pages started slowly, but after that, the pace picked up and there was no turning back. This debut novel from the author tells a tale of 21-year-old … Continue reading Book Review: ‘Odufa – A Lover’s Tale’ by Othuke Ominiabohs

Book Review: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
My Thoughts: This was a very difficult book for me to read. It has taken me four months and switching from print copy to an ebook on the SCIBD App on my phone to finally finish it. The first few chapters were not bad at all and I liked the 10,000 hours to master any … Continue reading Book Review: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell
Book Review: Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
My Thoughts: This is one of those books you feel you should have read a long time ago (if it was already published then) to save you from yourself but as my people would say "Whenever you wake up, is your morning". I really really loved this book every step of the way. It has … Continue reading Book Review: Girl Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis
Book Review: The One Minute Millionaire by Mark Victor Hansen & Robert G. Allen
My Thoughts: This happens to be the first audio book I have listened to (apart from my audio bible) and I really enjoyed the experience to say the least. After my last non-fiction read, I was encouraged to read this book and it was worth the while.

Book Review: The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Mason
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!

This is my first Christian fiction read this year and it was absolutely a breath of fresh air.

Book Review: Boy, Snow, Bird by Helen Oyeyemi
This book was given to me by a friend who thought I would like it. There were mixed reviews about it and I wanted to have my own opinion of the book and the author.

Book Review: Our Son the Minister by Paul Ugbede
With 149 pages, this book is a quick but engaging, entertaining and downright honest satire addressing the current mindset of the Nigerian society. I had watched the play last year and wanted to read the book/play to have a different experience with the story and never got to do it up until now. The story … Continue reading Book Review: Our Son the Minister by Paul Ugbede
