So I wanted to do something fun apart from my usual  BOOK REVIEW RUNDOWN  and I hope my readers will enjoy it as well.   When I started reviewing books, I didn't like nonfiction or self-help at all; it didn't give me the escape I desired, so I decided to start reading fiction. I did not only start reading fiction; I told myself I would not really read popular fiction books. I wanted to help authors in a way, but authors that really needed it (does this make sense because it doesn't quite make sense to me😂).   Anyway, I started reading non-popular books, and I have found amazing authors and stories that will stay with me for life. Stories that have changed my view of life in several ways.   Will I continue reading non-popular books? Of Course  Does that mean I will not read popular books? No, all books are the same, but I will continue to focus on non-popular books and books from less-known publishers.    QUESTION: Can you re...

📖 BOOK TITLE:   VALLEY VERIFIED  📖AUTHOR: KYLA ZHAO  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #LetterV Of My Alphabet Challenge #SeventeethBookOf2024  The cover of this book is so beautiful😍😍. Fashion meets Tech in this inspiring novel. Zoe decided to leave her job in fashion writing behind and take up a new one in marketing a fashion app,where she has no experience at all. She decides she is going to put her all into it and make the app a success.  Zoe begins to have imposter syndrome, struggling to decide whether she made the right decision by leaving her whole life behind just to take up this new job. I loved Zoe and her whole character, the way she brings out the best in people, and how her charisma is infectious (if I can use that word 😂). I liked Bill at first, but it turns out he was a shitty person. All in all, the book is nice—the kind of book you read to have butterflies in your stomach and the kind of book to pursue dreams. Here's to everyon...

📖BOOK TITLE: PEOPLE PERSON  📖AUTHOR: CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #LetterP Of My Alphabet Challenge #EighteenthBookOf2024   My second time reading Candice's work: the first being Queenie and now People Person 😍 I am really excited that I got the chance to read People Person. So back to the review: 5 people bound by blood from one parental side 5 different people with different backgrounds 5 people with a non-present father And 5 people with blood on their hands literally 💉👐 Only a few years ago, their father 'Cyril' brought them to a park to get to know themselves and not to fuck each other in the future because they were siblings (Cyril's words, not mine 🤷🏽‍♀️). When Dimple calls Nikisha to come help her, she has no idea that her elder sister would call her remaining half siblings to drop what they were doing to come help her move a "dead body." The Penningtons had partially decided to stick with each other through ...

📖 BOOK TITLE: CONFESSIONS OF AN ALLEGED GOOD GIRL  📖AUTHOR: JOYA GOFFNEY  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #TwentiethBookOf2024   I loved how realistic this book is, and I think that every child between the ages of 13 and 18 should read this book. The author did fantastic work here, and I would like to drop my two cents to my fellow Nigerians:  In a Nigerian family, the word 'sex' is so rarely spoken and used that the kids start to fear it in a way and start to become curious about what it is. Social media is so loose these days that it is not even fit for a child. Parents,  please talk to your child about sex and sexual education at a very early age. You can even start with Every Girl Has A Vagina and Every Boy Has A Penis. Some parents are even embarrassed to talk to their kids about these organs, but it is very necessary and essential to speak to them before their schoolmates or friends put ideas into their heads that aren't healthy. Speak up...

📖BOOK TITLE:   ZAINAB TAKES NEWYORK  📖AUTHOR: AYESHA HARRUNA ATTAH 📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #SixteenthBookOf2024 #LetterZ Of My Alphabet Challenge  When I started Zainab Takes Newyork, I wanted something fun and exciting. Did this book meet my expectations? Frankly No!Was I disappointed?  Yes, I was.  Inasmuch as I loved the grandma's commentary and all, I found Zainab very childish.Personally, this book is just like a coming-of-age novel . 📖RATINGS:   3 STARS ⭐⭐⭐ 📖QUOTES: □ Life is too short to do what everyone expects of you. □ Food was sculpture. It was art. □ When you’re in love, you get precise about dates and things like that, -
