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 ...

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...

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 wh...

Dear Fiction Addicts, By now you know I love holidays and I love it even more when the month begins with a holiday. Happy Easter! I’m so happy that death could not hold my Saviour down and he lives. Wow! It’s April already and I can’t wait to unveil the books for this month. I’m quite sure you had a memorable time with the books of this months and I’m thinking of pushing the limits this month because well…. Just because I know WE CAN!!! This  April we’ll be reading not one. Not two but three books. Yes I know WE CAN. So here’s the reading list for this month 1 The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware Lo Backlock , a Journalist who writes for a travel magazine  has just been given an assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered selected guests jovial in the picturesque North Sea. At first Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the parties are sparklin...

Dear FictionAddicts, It’s March! The rains have started and the weather is much cooler, thank goodness. I would not have survived another day of the drastic heatwave. February could easily pass for the hottest month this year asides from being the month of love. The month of love has come and gone but we should not stop showing love. Let’s give a little more love everyday. Now I’m sure you all had the best of time with Collen Hoover’s It Ends With Us last February. One of our ardent readers wrote in on Instagram a couple of days after I posted the book of month for February saying she finished it already and it was lovely. This got me thinking, more books every month. FictionAddicts, February 2018 is the last time we will ever read one book. I promise. Fiction addicts honor,just as in Scout’s honor. This month we will read two books: Emily Giffin’s Heart of the Matter : This psychological fiction follows the lives of two different women. ...

Cheers to the new month FictionAddicts! January was such a long month with almost 365 days. I’m glad it’s over now and it is with so much joy in my heart that I welcome you all to the Month of  Love … February. May your hearts ever swell and burst with love and may you never run out of love. Now imagine you’re in love with that somebody and everything is lovey-dovey until the day you get abused by that person you so deeply love and care about. In fact your partner, or lover, fiance, fiancee, spouse is perfect except for one thing. He/she is abusive towards you. What would you do? This month we’ll be reading, Lily has not always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She has come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up- she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything on Lilly’s li...
