This book...it made me love,it made me hate,and it made me feel everything in between.Beautifully written, #homegoing follows the descendants of 2 sisters who never met but whose stories & legacy works their way from 18th Century Gold Coast to present day US & Ghana.Along the way it examines the role that Africans played in slave trade, the painful histrory of segregation, the power of love and the gravity of history and heritage. #africanwriters

This book - amazing! Humorous retelling of the world's mythologies that will leave you in stitches and wanting more 😊 Cementing my addiction to mythology. #zeusgrantsstupidwishes **And yes, I'm a #bookdragon not a #bookworm 😉

I desperately wanted to love it and I did,until halfway, as the story of 4 African women who find themselves in the red-light district of Antwerp is one that tugs at the heart. But when Chika attempts to tackle the Sudan Civil War and the resulting atrocities, her words soon lack the depth and emotion required, and you find yourself reading the story feeling very removed from the subject matter. Something a really great book should never do

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." You could have knocked me over with a feather when I read this passage.

Said Tyrion to Jon when the Brothers' of the Night's Watch began mocking him by calling him Lord Snow. I'm now on Chapter 23 of 73 😅 Slow progress, but progress nonetheless.

I was a little concerned that having watch the series before reading the books it would diminish my enjoyment. I'm happy to report that that's not the case. There is truly something magically about the written word ☺

Pride and Prejudice remains an all time favorite of mine well into my adulthood. While some notions are dated now like this famous one: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Others still ring true, like this quote.

Confession...I've been stuck.No matter how many times I pick up #agameofthrones,I can never finish this #book. And it's the first of five 😕 A new season of the series comes out and I'm swept up in it and I abandon the book midway.Not anymore!I've devised a three prong attack strategy;Tyrion would be so proud lol.#goodreads #currentlyreading #bibliophile #booklover #bookish #bestseller #newbook #ilovebooks #booknerd #georgerrmartin #gameofthrones

I had a difficult time reading this book. Maybe it's because after The Alchemist I had such high hopes for a similar book...I've decided to begin another and see if that spurs my progress with it.

"The half-life of love is forever." This is one of the boldest book I've read this year. The protagonist leaves a lasting impression. And it's certainly the only book I had to religiously use Google Translate.
