BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN: DELE WEDS DESTINY

📖BOOK TITLE: DELE WEDS DESTINY

📖AUTHOR: TOMI OBARO

📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:

#FiftyseventhBookOf2024

So Goodreads recommended this book to me because I've read "A Broken People's Playlist by Chimeka Garricks". Dele Weds Destiny tells the story of three ladies with very different lives who meet at university (and while I am aiming for that sort of friendship, I can almost say I won't have that sort of friendship as I am in my third year; anyway, back to the review; this is not about me!).

I enjoyed the stories of all three ladies, namely Funmi, Zainab, and Enitan, especially Zainab's story, because she discovered what she wanted at a very young age and went for it, so sad that the story didn't end particularly well for her.

Within the story of these three ladies, we have a wedding. Honestly, I felt there shouldn't have been a wedding in the first place, and then after the whole story about the ladies and the so-called wedding, we have a rather abrupt ending to the book.

So here I am wondering how or where the wedding and the ladies stories merged?

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
