A Lineage of Grace by Francine Rivers
Five outstanding women, five amazing paths that’ll eventually lead to the coming of Jesus Christ…
The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honorée Fanonne Jeffers
I also loved that, at every turn, it sought to advocate for intersectional feminism in African-American communities and within the academia.
An Echo of Things to Come (The Licanius Trilogy #2) by James Islington
One of the times I love about this book is how each character is unique and has a purpose; none of them is a filler; they each have something important to contribute to the story.
Born on a Tuesday by Elnathan John
It is necessary to know how… religious intolerance has taken squatter’s rights in Northern Nigeria and how our indifference to this will be our undoing.
A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Roses and Thorns #4) by Sarah J. Maas
This book dwelled on the subject of grief, healing, and forgiveness. I enjoyed all the moments all the characters could come together and laugh.
Daughters Who Walk This Path by Yejide Kilanko
Choked by the fear of shaming her parents, she sets boundaries but leaves certain overfamiliar frontiers unchecked.
The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings #2) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Although Fellowship of the Ring presents ambitious writing with second to none world building by a very talented author, I will say that the movie makes you appreciate this book 100%
Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders #1) by Robin Hobb
You can feel the selfishness of Malta, the apathy that dictated Keffria’s life, the strength that was Ronica Vestrit, the confusion peppered with shadows of strength, wisdom,
What Inspires Creative Writing- Dreams, People, and Experiences
creativity is a self-fulfilling trait; if you tell yourself you’re not creative long enough, you’ll believe it, let your potential go silent, and then you will become uncreative
A Lady’s Guide To Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin
I found A Lady’s Guide To Fortune Hunting quite the delectable read because it checked all the right boxes of what I would typically expect from a historical romance novel set in England
City of Miracles (The Divine Cities #3) by Robert Jackson Bennett
If Sigrud lived in this age, he definitely would have been a candidate for serious therapy to unpack everything he was feeling
Tomorrow I Become a Woman by Aiwanose Odafen
Many men still deem their families incomplete without a male child, and I cannot grasp the concept
In the Shadow of Lightning (Glass Immortals #1) by Brian McClellan
With his latest book, he’s clearly outdone his own freakishly scary-good standards. And, in years to come, he’ll be heralded as one of the very elite authors to have ever penned a letter in the genre.
The House of Shells by Efua Traore
As usual, I have nothing but praise for Efua’s writing. It’s easy to read, and you’re sure to stay glued to the story.
Dele Weds Destiny by Tomi Obaro
It also highlights that love is a choice and way beyond feelings because feelings can be fickle. It reminds us that sometimes, sustaining our friendships can be pretty tricky.
Movie Review: Nope
It’s a movie that starts with creepy vibes, a hint of sci-fi thrown in, sprinkled with a bit of horror, and ends with a bang of pulse-racing excitement.
Beckoning of the Gate (The Väyllian Threads #1) by Benjamin J. Ryan
In the place of complex characters and elaborate settings, the author builds on the magic system and the world lore, both of which are done fairly well.
How to Make A Good Movie/TV Reboot
If you’re going to ignore everything about the original movie/series, why not create new material and build a new fanbase? Proper, isn’t it?
