Dear FictionAddicts, It’s raining, it's pouring…Raining cats and dogs and shall I say it’s the best time of the year for me. I just want to take a break from all the hassles of work and adult life, snuggle in bed with a large mug of coffee and several books till the rains go away. Boy do I love me some rain! This month we’ll read, The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine and How to Walk Away by Katherine Center . The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine, 2017 Amber Patterson is fed up. She is tired of being a nobody: a plain invisible woman who bends into the background. She deserves more - a life of money and power like the blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne- a socialite and philanthropist – and her business mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber’s envy could eat her alive… if she didn’t have a plan. Amber uses Daphne...

Dear FictionAddicts, I have come again, as usual. Please do not hold a grudge against me. As you must have noticed I haven’t posted anything since November, 2018. I don’t know what excuse to give this time around. I guess I was in a rut and each time I tried to write a post I just found myself putting it off till some other time. And that’s how I found myself not posting anything for almost seven months. 2019 is already 6months old and there’s just six months left in the year but we’ll make the best of the time that’s left. You know what they say, IT’S NEVER TOO LATE. So, let me welcome you all to the second half of 2019 and cheers to the rest of the year. This month well read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah and Other People’s Houses by Abby Waxman The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, 2015 Vianne and Isabelle have always been close despite their differences. The younger, bolder sister Isabelle lives in...

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...

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...

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 ...
