Book of the Month: October

Helloooo Fiction Addicts reading me from all over the world. 

Happy Independence Celebrations Nigeria! May the labours of all our heroes past never be in vain. I trust we are all enjoying the holiday. As always, I’m sorry the post is one day late as a result of circumstances beyond my control.

September was an awesome month for me and I’m sure you all had a September to remember. I really do hope you had loads of fun with the books of the last month. I particularly found them unputdownable. I always said to myself


 until there were no chapters left.

This month we will be reading Paula Hawkins’ INTO THE WATER. Paula Hawkins is the bestselling author of The Girl On the Train which  was adapted for the screen with the same title.



Into the Water: Women in a small British town have been downing since 1679 at a place popularly known as the Drowning Pool. Danielle Abbot, an award winning writer and photographer who is also the single mother to a teenage daughter has died. At the time of  her death, she was working on a book about the spot the people of Beckford call the Drowning pool. It was her “place of ecstasy”, where she had learnt to swim and now it was her grave. She had left behind a pile of typewritten pages and a daughter whose best friend also drowned just a few months ago. Danielle’s estranged sister, Jules, returns to the place where she deliberately ran from – a place to which she vowed she’d never return.

Beware a calm surface – you never know what lies beneath

I can already tell, this one’s a page turner guaranteed to keep you up all night. So what are you waiting for fiction addicts? Read away!

Love,

BOOK OF THE MONTH: MARCH

Dear FictionAddicts, Say hello to March.  It's so hot these days it feels like we are in a oven baking. I really can't wait for the rains and heavy downpours.  I’m sure you had as much pleasant time as I did reading the last two books of the month. This month we will read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman and  The Wives by Tarryn Fisher . The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman Nina Hill is a young woman supremely confident in her own... shell. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading she just shrugs and picks up a new book.  When the father she never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews , Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They’re all or mostly all excited to meet her! She’’l

BOOK OF THE MONTH : JANUARY 2020

Dear FictionAddicts, Five, Four, Three, Two, One!!!!, Happy (Not)So New Year! (the year is already Seven days old but…). Does anyone wonder where the holidays went so quickly…? Sigh. Now it’s back to the trenches, more goals to set and more targets to meet and even more deadly deadlines. I want to quickly say that I’m glad we made it into the new year. It is my prayer that this year counts for you all in every positive way possible. Great milestones achieved with less stress. May the grace of God be more than sufficient for US all this year. Amen. That said, this month we will read, The Lying Game by Ruth Ware and The Guardians by John Grisham. The Lying Game by Ruth Ware   Four women have been carrying a terrible secret since their boarding school days and that secret is about to be literally unearthed. The text message arrives in the small hours of the night. It’s just three words: I need you. Isa drops everything, takes her baby daughter and heads str

Ain’t no hurrying love... May true love find us, all. I hope you enjoyed the last book of the month and as you know it’s time to unveil the books of the month.
