Hellooo!
At the beginning of the year, I set out to read 12 books – one book a month. I’m currently on my 10th book, and its only June 21st! Hopefully, I’ll end up reading more than 12 books by the end of the year.
For this reading challenge, I plan on reading and reviewing novels from genres that excite me: African, African-American and Caribbean books. If I get my hands on any other genre, I would gladly add it to my challenge.
Thus far I’ve read (in chronological order) :
- Happiness, Like Water by Chinelo Okparanta ~ January 28th 2014
- Harmattan Rain by Ayesha Attah Harruna ~ February 10th 2014
- Opening Spaces: Contemporary African Women’s Writing by Yvonne Vera et al ~ March 7th 2014
