pickExcellent book! Deceptively simplistic but there are so many layers. The story is told from the perspective of a 15 yo Nigerian girl-Kambili. And it‘s this that‘s deceiving because she‘s so young and innocent but thru her eyes Adichie exposes life in her part of Nigeria. It‘s a beautiful story about family, religion, corrupt colonialism, traditions, revenge and hope. This is my fave Adichie book. #adichie#booknerd #booklover
so-soThis short story was just so-so. It had potential to be a pick, but it fell short, and the story, while compelling, felt unfinished. #BookReview #JPBookReview #KindleDeal #ebook #deal #sale - #Shortstories #riotgram
“In this poignant, stirring short depicting the solitary lives that immigrants face in the US, acclaimed author... Chimamanda Ngozi #Adichie celebrates faith and the fragile ties that can grant salvation. An ebook short.” -Amazon
pickThe title is taken from the flag of Biafra, which features Half of a Yellow Sun. What an extraordinary novel. Realist fiction at its finest. Cannot recommend highly enough. Can‘t wait to read Adichie‘s other work #adichie #africanlit #africanliterature #realistfiction #realism #biafra #flawless
One of my favorite authors writes a new book "on how to raise a feminist daughter today, written from one friend to another," on sale today ? #Adichie #DearIjeawele #NewReleaseTuesday
We spend too much time teaching girls to worry what boys think of them. But the reverse is not the case. We don't teach boys to care about being likeable. We spend too much time telling girls that they cannot be angry or aggressive or tough [..] then we turn around and either praise or excuse men for the same reasons.

pickThis year, I want to highlight the best books I read this year. Although they may have been published way before 2016, I'll post about them if I read them this year.
Definitely a must read if you're looking to read if you're looking for a great book about exploration of culture and identity in a new place. The characters are deep and complex and that makes a strong book anywhere
