I added a new book to my Africcan literature collection. It's titled Homegoing by multiple award winning Ghanian writer Yaa Gyasi

If you love African Literature, subscribe to this girl's page on YouTube. She does interesting reviews of books by African authors. She's pretty as well, so that might help those with poor attention span.

I've gotten a lot of good African Literature recommendations from her.

You sure motivated me to read those novels. I have read but a few. I'd give you a follow. You have my passion and zeal. Nice one lady.

Thank you.

I just got about 12 new African books. I'll share them on the thread now.

Okay guys, I'm obsessed with Akwaeke Emezi's books. I just got everything single book she's written lol, and I'll read them all. She's such a talented writer.

BOTTLED LEOPARD--CHUKWUEMEKA IKE

I just got bottled leopard. Thanks for the recommendation.

I am happy to share. The book is special to me. Was it the hard copy or soft copy you got, Hermix?

I already had two books from Akwaeke Emezi: Fresh water and The death if Vivek Orji

But today I got 4 of her books. 3 are fiction while the other is a memoir.

The first one I will be sharing is titled: Bitter

Hard copy. I got it at a book store.

The second book is titled: Pet by Akwaeke Emezi

Hermix:

Hard copy. I got it at a book store.

Ha.... Would have been delighted if it had been the soft-copy.

You made a fool of death with your beauty by Akwaeke Emezi

Ha.... Would have been delighted if it had been the soft-copy.

Why would you have been delighted?

So this is the memoir by Akwaeke Emezi titled Dear Senthuran

I saw a lot of good reveiws about the book and I heard it reads like fiction as well.

I got two books from Chimamanda. They are both short stories so I'll finish reading then tonight.

The first one is Zikora

The second book is titled The Visit

Yinka where is your husband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

Welcome to Lagos by Chibundu Onuzo

Sankofa still by Chibundu Onuzo

Hermix:


Why would you have been delighted?

The last time I read the book was during my secondary school days. I have not been able to get a hold of a copy since then. My search online has yielded no result.
I have been longing to read the book once again.

So I learned something today. I have three books by Author J. M. Cortzee. He is a nobel prize winner and an amazing writer. I never knew he was African and writes books set in Africa. I've always put his books in the Foreign fiction section of my library.

Well, at least I have three extra additions to my African library section.
