    I love the Sefi Atta cover, looking like one of my aunties 😂

      I love it too. Definitely the aunty look. 😅 Btw, I think you’ll like the song in my latest audio review. I thought of you when I was making the selection when I heard the bit of Igbo in it. And I finished the Girl He Used to Know. Good recommendation, thanks!

    The House my Father Built by Adewale Maja was an interesting read. The author was accurate about Lagos then, it has changed for the better now, not the best, better. Looking forward for other books shared above. Thanks

      I agree. It was an accurate depiction of Lagos and Nigeria. Thanks for reading and commenting.
