16 books in 3 months?! Not me!

Now what child reads over 16 books in 3 months and 9 days?! 🙄 Your child? Not my child though, maybe my mother's child.😂

A friend of mine asked me how many books I've read this year and I could not tell. We've all been at school, running to classes, writing tests, and whatnot. I remember falling asleep everytime I picked up Mariama Bâ's So Long a Letter to study (it became an inside joke my roommates and I shared). Now, I'm back home, doing next-to-nothing, that's if we do not count chores. Long story cut short, I decided to count and arrived at 16 read completely and 8 read in half! What?!

I promise I'm not a nerd and my head's not always buried in books, I talk to people, text and make a lot of noise. How did this happen?! I'll figure sometime. But, here's a list of the books I've read this quarter. They're arranged randomly. I'll put up a post about my best-rated and least-rated books.

1. Lola Shoneyin's Baba Segi's Wives.

I'll not be doing reviews because the list is so long but trust, this is a beautiful book. It tells the story of the politics of a polygamous family and how life's hardknocks can be a shove in the right direction.

2. Mariama Bâ' So Long A Letter.

3. Tendai Huchu's The Hairdresser Of Harare.

Set in Zimbabwe, The Hairdresser of Harere is Vimbai whose hands work 'magic' as hairstyles and rules over her kingdom- Khumalo Hair and Beauty Treatment Salon until Dumi shows up and steals her shine. Oh, there's a love, a child, sweet feeelings and heartbreaks too. No, not your regular heartbreak, this has a twist you want to see.

4. Chigozie Obioma's An Orchestra of Minorities.

You want to see this too. My word limit won't let me type!

5. We Need New Names -NoViolet Bulawayo🌬️

6. Blackass- Igoni Barret 🥵

7. Paul Coelho's The Alchemist. Oh, spiritually is on the inside. You need this!

8. International Sisi Eko. This is a compilation of works of students and lecturers of the Department of English, University of Lagos. There's a story to make you cry in there. Read.

9. Hope Egagha- Two Mothers and Son. This counts. Oh, yes it does.

10. Macbeth- William Shakespeare. I studied this. Irony and wordplay. Read every word. I deserve Fanta.🥺
