BOOK OF THE MONTH : MARCH, 2021

Dear FictionAddicts, 2021 is already 2 months and 10 days old. I’m not going to give a new year speech, the year is already old and 2020 was a …..well, it was a vibe, mood, cruise, a corona virus year and a forced vacation all wrapped up in one. It’s March and the weather is not friendly at all with the sun scorching everything in its path . Please drink lots of water, stay hydrated, wear a mask and stay safe.

Book of the Month: MARCH

Dear FictionAddicts, It’s March! The rains have started and the weather is much cooler, thank goodness. I would not have survived another day of the drastic heatwave. February could easily pass for the hottest month this year asides from being the month of love. The month of love has come and gone but we should not stop showing love. Let’s give a little more love everyday. Now I’m sure you all had the best of time with Collen Hoover’s It Ends With Us last February.
