You people blast her because she is black and a Nigerian. Nora Roberts abi Robot stole her title and instead of condemning her actions, you are here blasting your own.
If I call thunder for una head now...

Steal title kwa...do you know how many books have the same titles...it's only stealing if the storylines are similar

Typical Nigerian mentality...hate your own and support the white man abi woman. Idiots.
Thank God I left that useless country years ago.

Oh btw, according to Steve Jobs “Good artist copy, great artist steal”.

Nora Roberts is a legend, but Tomi Adeyemi is hotter than her right now in 2018. Fact. Tomi's book, Children of Blood and Bone was on New York Times Best Seller list for more than 20 weeks earlier this year, and the movie adaption is on the way. How can people say Tomi is seeking attention. Old writers like Nora Roberts hardly write all their stories again...they have ghost writers write them. It is just their brands that sell right now. Nora's publishers might have thought of that title to ride the wave of Tomi's book.

Nora said she hasn't seen Tomi's book...
(*Laffs)..
Insignificant people always trying to make themselves relevant by attaching to a prominent individual.
I'm not surprised its from an 'Adeyemi' type of tribe..

Adult of love.
Displaying your intelligence and smartness upandan.

Now, let me ask you this; Did you know Tomi before this post? Is she as relevant as Nora that basically everyone here knows? Have you read Tomi's "best sellers" blood and bones? Have you not heard about blood and bones before this novel?
Stop being stupid because google makes your "research" easy.


By the way, there is a clear difference between Tomi's "Children of blood and bones" aand Nora's "Of blood and bones".
Shut your hating gutter o yee yaminrindum child of hate. Did you know nora or whatever too before this post? Hatred kill you.

One of the few comments that makes sense here.

Nigerians never cease to amaze me. I'm no fan of Tomi and don't really like the book but...

The fact is that she is more relevant than this so called Nora right now. This old writer is just seeking relevance just like many established writers eventually do once they're washed out .... I'm convinced that Nora's publishers intentionally played on Tomi's title because she's hot cake right now.

I actually think Tomi made a mistake by giving attention to her book...that's exactly what the publishers want....free promotion for Nora's new book.

If someone can come up with a whole new idea for a novel and excel at putting it in words to create a masterpiece, is it the title of just 3 words that she'll then steal?

Every writing process is difficult. Getting a title for a book is not as easy as you are making it.

You think I'm a dullard like you that doesn't read? Nora is "extremely" popular.. Please, take a sachet of jolly juice and quench your stupidity.

Gentlemen and ladies, Toyin Adeyemi got the title of her book from Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke and Bone, published in 2011. I don't want to talk about Adeyemi's book, which is a wrongly corrupted narration of Yoruba myths. If you read the book, you'll almost cry for the Yoruba race. She doesn't have any inkling about Yoruba myth. Sadly, Americans have gone crazy over the book.

I imagined Nora's being accused of stealing the whole plot from our sister's book. Why will an ordinary original title, be so hard to come up with?

This lady just wants to cause a flurry of activity on webspace and apparently does not know what the legendary Nora Roberts is about. SMfyneH @ her.
