Dear FictionAddicts, Say hello to March.  It's so hot these days it feels like we are in a oven baking. I really can't wait for the rains and heavy downpours.  I’m sure you had as much pleasant time as I did reading the last two books of the month. This month we will read The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman and  The Wives by Tarryn Fisher . The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman Nina Hill is a young woman supremely confident in her own... shell. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil. If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading she just shrugs and picks up a new book.  When the father she never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews , Nina is horrified. They all live close by! They’re all or mostly all excited to meet ...

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 any...

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...

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, hyp...
