here’s my mini review of Nneka Oluoha’s debut novel Live for Me, Nkem

It took me some time to write this review as I was turning this story over and over in my mind. The cultural lens through which the elements of this story are constructed felt completely relatable! It was quite a timely read for me!

Thanks @NetGalley @nneka.oluoha & @koehlerbookspub for this ARC

Open this blind date book with me from @lastsupperbooks ! 🕵🏾‍♀️📚
.
.
.
Age of Grievance by Frank Bruni - examines how grievance-the sense that you’re losing because someone else is winning-has come to define American politics and culture on both the left and right. It’s a cultural critique from a longtime New York Times columnist, blending reporting with argument about what this mindset is doing to public life.

Poetry to break your heart

Some books read like a diary you weren’t supposed to find. This one is essays and poems stitched from girlhood, migration, sisterhood, and the quiet wars we fight just to become ourselves.

Thanks @netgalley and @axiumnarrative for the ARC. #annabelsylvesteroromoni #netgalley #bookrecommendation #BookTok #bookstagram by @raecantwrite

Some people process disappointment with chocolate. I process it at the checkout counter. No regrets — just receipts. 😂

📖 What’d I walk out with? Stay tuned.

this might be for you if you’re here for forbidden love, messy reckonings, and a heroine who claims her own ending ♡

Every book someone finished today started with someone who once couldn’t read one. 📖✨ Happy International Literacy Day — to the teachers, parents, librarians, and stubborn readers who made words feel like magic instead of a wall. If you believe a library card is basically a passport, this one’s for you.
Swipe for ways to facilitate literacy!!

who else has been following the Lindsay Clancy case? am I the only one who thinks this feels like an Ashley Audrain book?! what books do you think are reflecting real life here? what other real cases do you think read like an Audrain plot? and are you looking forward to her next book?
I’d love to see your comments below!
