BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN:THE MARRIAGE CLASS


📖BOOK TITLE: THE MARRIAGE CLASS 

📖AUTHOR: ADESUWA O'MAN NWOKEDI

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS: 

#FourtyFourthBookOf2024

I don't know why the topic of marriage is so intriguing that I'll always read or talk about it. My Facebook feed is filled with topics about marriages, so when I saw this book, I knew right there that I'll read it.

So this book is about ten different couples with different love dynamics, stories, and personalities, all attending a wedding class in Lagos State, Nigeria. We see how different decisions affect and influence their views about each other.

Now I'll be starting with Abi&Raymond- my least favorite couple out of the ten, but anyway, Abi doesn't like the easy love Raymond shows her, so we see how she self-sabotages her new-found love with her ex. It is very funny how she sees all the red flags in her ex, and subconsciously she wants him back because, according to her, "Raymond love is too easy."

Ngozi&Zulu- the Igbo love duo, 😂, Ngozi never saw herself loving an uncouth man, so to speak, but what can she do when she is losing numbers "age wise"? But eventually, love prevailed 😌. I was so happy for them 💕.

Ewa&Sanya- my favorites out of the ten, We see Ewa grow from the materialistic lady she was to someone who was willing to improve herself. She listened and headed to the advice of her man, if you no love who fit pay 14million naira debt who Ewa wan love nah😂😂

Bianca&Prince- just like Abi I thought they wouldn't make it because it was just too much. How did they do it? Long distance for almost 3 years or so. This can only happen when there is communication, truth, and mutual love between two people who have determined that they will do everything possible to make their relationship work.

April&Boma- these two, oh my God 😫😫😫😫
Kris&Bola- I had this thought that why will Bola date someone twice his age, but I guess love knows no bounds. When you know, you know. 

Chioma&A.K- the beauty and the beast situation 😂😂😂 and no it is not the man that is the beast 😐😐 throughout the book I tried to imagine what the beast 😐looks like but I just can't 😂😂😂😂 chai A.K got his work cut out for him geezzzz

Ivie&Eric- a reverse of Kris and Bola situation 😐

Nkoyo&Nosa- a child can't bring people who are not in love together; it is better to co-parent.

Omasan&Itse—these two i felt for Omasan particularly nineteen years just thrown away like that😐😐

I wish some of the couples stories had run off particularly itse & omasan 😫 

📖RATINGS: 4 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐

BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: DARK MATTER

📖 BOOK TITLE: DARK MATTER  📖 AUTHOR: BLAKE CROUCH  📖 THOUGHTS&OPINIONS :  #LetterD of My Alphabet Challenge #FourteenthBookOf2024   So this novel followed the story of Jason Densen. Jason is a scientist and has been trying to put a macro object in superposition; in other words, Jason was trying to figure out if we can access other timelines other than our own.  But that dream was cut short when he decided to settle down, have a family, and be responsible. He left his passion for scientific research in order to have a family, which is pretty cool if you ask me 💕. So it starts getting interesting when Jason1 gets kidnapped 😮 mysterious, right? I am not going to say who kidnapped him, but if you have read the book, I am guessing you were as shocked as me when you found out. It turns out there are multiple versions of Jasons, and it turned bloody real quick. This book was nothing I expected. I was terrified to say the truth. I heard that there is a movie adaptation 😏

An excerpt from NEARLY ALL THE MEN IN LAGOS ARE MAD BY DAMILARE KUKU

The Anointed Wife Do you think it is easy to be a pastor’s wife?  How can you know what it means to be the partner of a man with a divine calling, made of flesh but instructed to lead with the spirit? Any ordinary wife has their work cut out for them in loving their husbands, in serving them for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, but a pastor’s wife has to help her husband maintain his holy anointing, and to do so with an invisible hand. “I didn’t do it. Mummy, do you believe me?” How long has it been since I became the mummy of our organisation, the mother in our marriage? I can’t remember. It feels like forever since I had the pleasure, the intimacy of hearing my own name fall from my husband’s lips—my real name, not Mummy, sometimes followed by one of the children’s names. I look at him now. His pleading eyes and downturned mouth. His hair is impeccably groomed, his salt and pepper beard neatly trimmed. We have been married for over twenty years. Our love has gone b
