pickThe title says it all! Kuku writes compelling, revealing, and at times funny stories about relationships between the sexes in Nigeria. From a pop star keeping himself celibate on tour to meet up with a woman from Instagram who turns out to be more prudish than he thought to a woman who is about to sever her husband‘s member after he insists she sleep with a millionaire for money. Really fantastic short story collection!
Options for my April #bookspin and #doublespin dreaming, as all coming from one local used bookshop, whose outside sales cart I like to shop and find older hardback copies from, and take a visit to the nearby local microbrewery for a leisurely pint or the lakeside park or Riverwalk.
pickThis was the first book I read by this author but it won‘t be the last. I really enjoyed this story which was impossible to put down once I started reading. Two sudden, unexpected deaths lead two women on a hunt for the truth about what happened. This is a story about obsession and revenge with the tension building from the first page, a slow burn of a story which nonetheless keeps you engaged as it heads towards the inevitable end. A good read.
“When does evil intent become evil itself? Is it evil simply to imagine and harbor an idea? Does it begin when a thought is put into action? And if that action fails, then did evil never exist to begin with?”

Another thriller from South Korea to add to my TBR mountain…
pickInspired by one of the minor characters in “Moby Dick,” this book is a slow burn. The reader journeys across the world as 4 generations of women search for the elusive “Ishmael,” a key to their belongingness. If you enjoy women‘s lit fic with a touch of magical realism, keep this book in mind. It will take you on a slow and intentional journey, which sometimes is exactly what is needed.

Today after getting my nails done I popped in to the op shop next-door to see whether I could find myself a Georgette Heyer @LeahBergen . I did not find a Heyer, but I did find these two 😍. For $2 each! #bookhaul #winning
