I am a big fan of Heartsong inspirational romance books (I don't buy them, but my sister does and I read them all!).  I recently finished 'Frieda's Song' by Kathleen Scarth, about a marriage of convenience which blossoms into a loving relationship.  Currently reading 'The Long Ride Home' by Andrea Boeshaar, about a nurse who falls in love with her cowboy patient who was injured while riding a bull!

A friend sent me 'Forgiving' by Lavyrle Spencer, about a female newspaper publisher who had to rescue her junior sister from a life of prostitution (her sister ran away from home at 15 to get away from her father who was violating her, only to go into prostitution).   It's not in the Heartsong series, though.

So what are you currently reading!

i've read d 3 books. i love emm!!!! i used to subscribe to heart stong and they send me 4books everymonth but i stopped d subscription like 4months ago so now i just buy them at da store or borrow it from da library!!

It sounds like she rhymes because she was a rapper and a poet in those days. You know, when she clashed with Bill Clinton and all that Jazz.

cry i doubt it it's very rare 4 me to cry about books though i've cried about sum before but it's not that common. i might be really moved by d book but i'm not sure if i'm gon cry!

But, are you going to tell me the truth, if it moves you to tears? Or, you're just trying to "se ako"?

It is truly marvellous to have stumbled on a site where I can chat to other nigerian bibliophiles!!

For the past few years I've been especially addicted to African authors and African themed books. I have so many favourites and am actually in the process of setting up a book club with the above as the main books to be read.

I'd like to contribute which books I've been reading over the past few years (don't panic...not that many!!)

The Poisonwood Bible ( Barbara Kingsolver)

A Cowrie of Hope - Binwell Sinyangwe

Zenzele - Nozipo Maraire

So Long a letter - Mariama Ba

Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Damgbaremgba

The Concubine - Elechi Amachi

Everything Good will come - Sefi Atta

Changes - Ama Ata Aidoo

Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Alan Paton - Cry the Beloved Country (MUST READ)

James Ngugi - Weep Not Child, A Grain of Wheat

Wole Soyinka - Ake (MUST READ) particularly if from Abeokuta as I am!!

Chinua Achebe - Everyhing He's ever written

The Devil that Danced on the Water - Aminatta Forna

I could go on but I'll stop there for now!! I'll be visiting this post often now that I've discovered it so  please let me know if you've read any of the above and if you haven't I strongly suggest you do. Also, does anyone know where I can get pacesetters novels to buy in the UK?? Thanks a lot!!

I am currently reading Zadie Smith's "White Teeth". I plan to read her latest book, "On Beauty" as soon as I am done. I finished reading Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" yesterday. I had picked up his "Davinci Code" on my way from Paris to Lagos - incredible book! "Angels and Demons" isn't as charged but it's also interesting.

A friend of mine sent me  Nigerian book "Walking with Shadows". I was surprised that the novel is about a gay Nigerian. When did Nigerians start writing about gay issues? It's not a fantastically written book but it's interesting.

Last month, I read mostly Toni Morrison. I love her books so much (I've read almost every book she has ever written).
