Dear FictionAddicts, Hmmm. I don’t even know where to start. First of, Happy Not So New Year! It’s been such a long time I sat down to write this blog. I may have my excuses but none of it justifies me abandoning you all for so long.  You all deserve better. I mean, it’s been a minute too long. In 2018 I intend to never let the posts be late. That said, I want to thank you all for your support in the last one year.  I love you all immensely. It is my desire and hope that we all get to read more books this year than we did the previous year without life interrupting us (unnecessarily). I’m sure by now most of you have noticed my gender bias for female authors. I’m just soooo comfy reading a female authors than male ones. I think with all the disparity going on in the world in remuneration of the male and female sex, for the same job role I’m well within my rights to love reading authors of the same gender as I am. I won’t be surprised if the same thing goi...

Dear FictionAddicts, I can hardly believe 2017 is 80% complete. It’s true what they say, ‘Time waits for no man” ( and woman too). Well in a way I’m glad the year is running out. There were some high points in the year and some really bad low points. I’m hoping the new year will bring best things to all of us. I’m sure we had fun reading Paula Hawkins’ thriller, Into the water.  Truth be told, I’ve not read even 50 pages of the book yet (thanks to work and other pressing commitments)but the little I’ve read tells me it’s sure to keep one on the edge. It literally gives me the chills. This month we’ll read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell: Film critic Beth and copy editor Jennifer are best of friend and coworkers at Omaha Courier Newspaper. In their emails, they both exchange witty banter, jokes and an underlying affection to help them get through their frustrations in life and love. Jennifer is married to a...

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 wr...

Fiction addicts get in here!!! It’s  Sweet September.  It’s the month of my birth and I’m super duper excited. #September11loading. Y’all have to just admit it, September is the best month of the year. I mean the month kicks off with a two day holiday in celebration of our Muslim folk which falls into a weekend and as Nigerians, we know how we do. These are the times I just love my country, we know how to make a good holiday.  I’m sure you had the best time with our book of the month for August. Gosh, Sophie Kinsella had me in stitches. I chose her because truth be told I personally needed some laughs because the last two months have not been the best for me but I’m really  optimistic everything will turn out right eventually because God’s in my boat. This month we’ll be reading two books, The Third Wife by Lisa Jewell and Big Girl by Danielle Steel. The Third Wife, by Lisa Jewell (...

Wow! I can hardly believe it’s August.  July was a good month in more ways than one and I’m sure you all had fun with last month’s book of the month. The book of the month for August is Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella. Emma Corrigan is a young lady with a huge heart, a nervous flyer and more than a few secrets. Sitting on a turbulent plane and thinking it might be her last moments, she starts spewing her secrets with reckless abandon to the American gentleman sitting next to her on the plane, but she’s too frightened to even notice. She tells him all her fibs about her size, how she is not sure she has a g-spot, how the coffee at work is horrible, how she once threw a trouble client file in the bin, just to mention a few. She survives the turbulence and finds out the next day at work that the American from the plane is her new boss at the mega corporation which she works for. She soon realizes that he remembers everything she said on the flight . Things c...

Fiction addicts get in here!!! It's  a new month and we are done with the first half of the year. We may not have met our targets and goals for the first half of the year but surely we made some progress and we should be thankful for that. Anyone notice how it's always raining these days? Well I love it when it rains. It's a good time to snuggle up in bed with a good book and several cups of coffee. Unfortunately I'm writing this post at my desk in the office, therefore perish every thought of snuggling up in bed. The books of  the  month of July are After You by Jojo Moyes and Hedge Fund Wives  by Tatiana Boncompagni. After You by Jojo Moyes is the sequel to Me before You which we read in February and it takes off soon after Me before You ended. Lou's taken a job in an Irish themed bar at the airport. She's also bought a flat with some of the money Will left her. After having drank so much wine , one night she climbs to the roof top of...

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 ...
