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 best fr

BOOK OF THE MONTH: SEPTEMBER 2018

Dear FictionAddicts,   I’ve been waiting for this moment all through August. Let me just say this right now, September will be the best month so far this year. I just feel it my spirit. I mean I can feel good vibes all around already. In fact I get the feeling that some new and interesting stuff will happen to lots and lots of people this month.  So let’s all drink to that. I’m sure you had the best time with our books of the month for August. I particularly found Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, totally unputdownable. This month we’ll read My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry and Confessions of a Domestic Failure by Bunmi Laditan. My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry:   When young lawyer Lily, marries Ed, she’s determined to make a fresh start. To leave the secrets of the past behind. But then she takes on her first murder case and meets Joe, a convicted murderer whom Lily is strangely drawn to and for whom she will soon be willing to risk anything. But

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: 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. The Girl On the Train was a special request by one of our readers -@a_jokeade. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting caree

BOOK OF THE MONTH: JUNE 2018

Cheers to the new month FictionAddicts! I’m lost for words today so I’ll just get to the point. I’m sorry the post is late. Again. Man proposes, God disposes things and I’m just glad I can even write this post. This month I’ve chosen two novels that will be adapted to television series. The idea is to finish reading the book before the series start airing on TV.   That way we’ll be able to understand the story line and even pick out parts of the series that deviate from the plot in the book! Oh not forgetting we’ll be able to do a comparison between the book and the Tv series. So, this month we’ll read Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn and Mrs. Fletcher by Tom Perrotta. Sharp Obejects by Gillian Flynn (2006) : Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment :   s he must return to her tiny hometown to   cover the murder of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken a work to her neurotic, hypochondriac mot

Book of the Month : May 2018

My dear Fictionaddicts, April was such a fantastic month and I’m sure you all were spellbound by the books we read last month. As always I’m sorry this post is a bit late, but it’s better late than never. This May,  we’ll read Still Me by Jojo Moyes and Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger. Still Me is the third book in the Me Before You series. Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She steps into the world of the super rich working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger wife Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job in New York. As she beings to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. Before long she is torn between Fifth Avenue where
