A thread of all the books I've read since the lockdown.

For a sequel sceptic, I had expected something below the bar set by CBB, but I actually enjoyed it more. There was more action, more magic and such cliffhanger ending that only leaves you wanting more. Can't wait for book 3.

Anyone who knows my bookie life knows that I seldom read classics. They are too political for me. But "Mine Boy" for some reason is different. I reviewed it here: link.medium.com/aeVs9siTR7

I had the privilege of reading "Yar'fari" even before it went public. It is a feministic fiction that attempts to change the narrative of how the girl-child is treated in Northern Nigeria. Read my review here: link.medium.com/uZXvA0GTR7

I read "MSTSK" in 24 hours. It was soo good, I couldn't stop myself from chewing it up. Recommended by @bookoclockudus, I had the privilege of chatting with the author afterward. Read here: link.medium.com/WbaGngd0n7

Hosseini writes from his soul. The journey through this book was a rollercoaster of emotions. I cried, laughed, cried over and over again. @bookoclockudus recommended it. Here is a review by a friend: link.medium.com/atm7ZpJme7

This powerful novel is one book I'm grateful I went back to. A realistic war fiction, it exposed me to the truth of the civil war, the suffering, the gore and everything else. Kainene never returned and I'm hopeful someday she does.😩

@bookoclockudus made me revisit this stellar collection. Rereading it with a more literary inclined mind, I realised that Adichie's short stories are the best out there. They treat various issues in a non-patronising way.A fave❤️

I read Abubakar's"Season of Crimson Blossoms" last year and loved it. I learnt this year he had a collection out with @CassavaRepublic before the novel and immediately jumped on it. Now, I can't wait for his next collection due for Oct.
