I’ve been a book lover for as long as I can remember. There was a season of my life when I would read through 2 books a day, but that number is down to barely 1 book a week in recent years. Now with the gift of an abundance of time, I’m revisiting one of my favorite past times. The goal is start with exploring books by African writers that explore complex, unconventional, and feminist themes. Scroll down to see the list I’m diving into…will you join me?
I’m thinking of even starting a book club…subscribe to my newsletter to get updates :)
