Book Review: The Help by Kathryn Stockett.
This was hands down an interesting read, even though I took eons to read it. I happened to have watched the movie before, and when I found out there was a book through my good friend, I thought why not. From the movie, even though I enjoyed…
Book Review: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
I received this book as Christmas Gift from my other boss, Magdalene. Strangely, it was one of those classics that I kept on telling myself I need to grab. I mean, you can’t have more than 3 people at any one sitting say that the book is a…
Hobbies That Didn’t Come Naturally.
Remember when you would be asked to state your hobbies, back when it was a thing? I still hadn’t figured myself out and so I would just pick out the most common ones, being traveling and reading. Which truly, I didn’t do much of earlier in…
Book Review: The Virgin Way by Richard Branson.
First, thank God that Mr. Branson was daring enough to call it Virgin and not Slipped Disc, because how would that even have worked? Considering he is such a serial entrepreneur and all his businesses would carry the name – Virgin Records,…

I have developed a strong liking towards African Writers that of late when I go to the book store, I don’t even bother looking elsewhere. I feel like there’s so much more to know about us. That there’s so much similarity in our cultures and…
Book Review: The Color Purple By Alice Walker
My favorite part from the book goes something like, “Listen, God love everything you love – and a mess of staff you don’t. But more than anything else, God love admiration. You saying God vain? I ast. Naw, she say. Not vain, just wanting to…
What Kind of Reader Are You?
Every time I walk into the book store with the aim of getting myself an interesting book to read, I am hit with a serious wave of confusion, and I mean, absolute confusion. I almost feel like a child who’s walked into a room with a display…
Book Review: Chicken Soup for the Bride’s Soul
The book is by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Maria Nickless and Gina Romanello. I have seen a couple of Chicken Soup for the Soul books series that captures almost all the phases of life, but strangely, never for the bride. And even…
Book Review: Fifty Shades Trilogy by E. L. James.
Confessions, confessions! I finally succumbed into the ‘peer’ pressure of reading thee trilogy. You know the one whose movie was banned in Kenya by the Kenya Film Classification Board. Let me describe the experience in one word, consuming!…
