Books vs. Movies: Enola
The movie added more depth to the book and gave us time to appreciate the characters, and I got to understand the mother’s reasons for leaving her.
Of This Our Country by Nels Abbey et al.
Although I found relish in these authentic experiences, some essays were a sobering reminder of how much Nigerians have lost and the horrors it has gone through
The Madhouse by T.J Benson
I believe a good book is one (regardless of its genre or setting) you can resonate with through its characters and the writer is able to carry you along to its final destination.
Lightblade (Lightblade Saga #) by Zamil Akhtar
Altogether, this is such a great book (and series, probably), and I look forward to reading the final release and more books in the series. You should too!
Illborn (The Illborn Saga #1) by Daniel T. Jackson
Religion takes front and center stage in this book. It was pretty interesting to explore how religious beliefs influence people’s behaviors, mindsets, and actions.
Never Die (Mortal Techniques #1) by Rob J. Hayes
If you’re looking for noble characters with a strong sense of right and wrong, happy endings, and damsels in distress, this book is not for you.
Lightblade (Lightblade Saga #1) by Zamil Akhtar
The organic development of Jyosh and the skills progression is indicative of a well-thought-out plot, especially how training can be completed in a Tel’aran’rhoid-like place.
Children Of the Quicksands By Efua Traore
I think this is very reminiscent of many Nigerian children today (the torn from cultural roots part), which is sad because we are losing our cultural values fast, and they may be gone forever.
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
The characters in this book are numerous, and it’s no surprise that my favorite character is Zachery Ezra Rawlins. He is a weird and queer guy, and I really enjoyed reading about his character development
The Atlas Six (The Atlas #1) by Olivie Blake
The author’s style of writing and world-building is not unnecessarily complex, making the book an easy read. The switch in POVs makes for an exciting change in pace and format throughout the book. Nico, Libby, and Reina’s POVs are baseline YA, while Callum, Parisa, and Tristan lend more jaded experiences.
