March was a great reading month for me not because I read 12 books but because I read widely. I think I covered almost every genre this month and most importantly I learned so much from most of the books I read. What was also great is that most of the books I read were […]
An Untamed State by Roxane Gay is the fourth book we will be reading for BookofCinz Book Club. I read this book back in January 2016 and I remember finishing the book and feeling so raw. The book is set in Haiti and explores the kidnapping of the protagonist. There are so many themes that […]

I could not wait to get my hands on a copy of Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams mainly because the main character is a Jamaican. I was also drawn to this book because it is being dubbed as “Bridget Jones meets Americanah” and while I see why that is the case, in some (most) instances I […]
