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 : 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

BOOK OF THE MONTH: August 2018

Fiction addicts get in here! Hellooo its AUGUST and I have a confession to make. You see, I’ve been   putting the books on out here from month to month but I only just caught up with the books of the month this July. What I mean is that I post of the books of the month but I don’t actually read the book of the month. I actually read the books of the last month.   Can you imagine that? Well that’s what happens when life gets in the way of my reading.   I had to read three books from previous posts this July just to catch up. I pushed myself hard. Now that my confession is out of the way, I feel relieved. I trust we were pleased with An American Marriage and The Girl on the Train . I get the feeling that An American Marriage will be made into a TV series or movie. It was a very nice read with so many likeable quotes. This month we will read, The Woman in the Window and Little Fires Everywhere The Woman in the Window by A.J Finn: Anna Fox lives alone – a recluse in

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 Elincourt is
