Book of the month: JUNE

Happy “not so” new month fiction addicts.

You can’t begin to imagine how so unhappy and sorry I am for not having posted the book for the month. My day job that’s fast becoming my 24hr job is responsible for this. Being a lawyer takes up so much time and the results can be sometimes annoying. Well for now it pays the bills. Shall I complain? I think not so.

I’m pretty sure we had double the fun reading the books of the previous month. The book of this month is long overdue and I’m terribly sorry being late on this post. But you know the saying better late than never is also applicable.

This month we’ll be reading A Sudden Change of Heart by Brabara Taylor Bradford

About the book:

Laura Valiant and Claire Benson have known each other since childhood and spent their girlhood summers together on Laura’s farm in Connecticut. Many years later both women become successful, wealthy and happy. Laura ‘s married to the handsome Doug, is a partner in an art dealership while Claire, divorced and the editor of a French magazine, lives in Paris with her teenage daughter, Natasha.

When they are re-united in Paris, Claire seems angry with her former husband Philippe Lavilard, a renowned doctor. She’s also unnaturally thin. Laura, though her business is flourishing, worries about Doug, who seems strangely preoccupied. And sure enough in the following year their lives change: Laura learns that a painting sought by a client was taken by the Nazis from a Holocaust victim; her marriage ends; and when Claire arrives to spend summer on the farm, she tells Laura that she is ill with terminal breast cancer, while also revealing that she was abused as a child.

After Claire’s death, Laura, now Natasha’s guardian finds herself inexplicably drawn to Philippe. She divorces Doug, who has a new love anyway and discovers that Rosa, Philippe’s mother is the daughter of a Jewish family, whose art was stolen by the Nazis and Laura embarks on a mission to track the art down.

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. This March we will read The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and The Other Woman by Sandie Jones The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware When Rowan Caine stumbles upon the ad, she was looking for something else completely. But it seemed too good an opportunity to pass on. It was a live-in nanny post, with a very generous salary. When she arrives at Heatherbrae House, Rowan is smitten by the luxurious “smart” home fitted with every modern convenience imaginable, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands and by this picture-perfect family. Her employer Sandra Elincour...

BOOK OF THE MONTH: JULY

Dear Fiction Addicts, Welcome to July! The first half of the year is gone and if we haven’t hit our targets yet, we still have time to put in effort and set the ball in motion. Take that first step and keep moving. Remember to work smart and not hard. June had its share of woes and sadness. The killings in Jos, Plateau State and the petrol tanker explosion on Micheal Otedola Bridge, along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Lagos that claimed the lives of so many Nigerians in the last month is just very sad. Our prayers are with those who lost loved ones in these ugly incidents. This month we will read An American Marriage by Tayari Jones and The Girl On The Train by Paula Hawkins.

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. One of our ardent readers wrote in on Instagram a couple of days after I posted the book of month for February saying she finished it already and it was lovely. This got me thinking, more books every month. FictionAddicts, February 2018 is the last time we will ever read one book. I promise. Fiction addicts honor,just as in Scout’s honor. This month we will read two books: Emily Giffin’s Heart of the Matter : This psychological fiction follows the lives of two different women. ...
