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!

You can download a copy of Into the Water, here

Love,

BOOK OF THE MONTH: NOVEMBER 2018

Dear FictionAddicts, Can you really believe it is November, the month of Thanksgiving and the month before Christmas?   It’s almost as if New Year’s Day was just yesterday and I closed my eyes and opened them and now it’s November. How time flies! As you would have noticed, there was no post in October. I’m so sorry about that. Work so sooo hectic and as much as tried I just could not find time to write. Some day I’ll be my own boss and do the things I love when I want to. This November, we’ll read The Hate U Give (now in Cinemas but it might be better if you read it before seeing the movie) and The Sudden Departure of The Frasers The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood bes...

Time keeps sneaking up on us. The book of the month for February is Me before You (Jojo Moyes).  Me before you is the story of William Traynor, who got involved in an accident  which left him confined to a wheelchair. He lived life on the fast lane and had everything going for him until the accident ruined his life. Lou Clark is the girl with no ambitions in life who is employed by the Traynors to take care of their son, Will. But even the chatty Lou could only do so much tor him. She would later learn that he had once attempted taking his own life and her real purpose of supposedly taking care of him was to ensure that he never attempts it again..... Well, I don't think there'll be any dry eyes in the house by the time we are done and dusted with, Me before You. ...
