My favourite thriller novels of 2022 so far…

Well this has been sitting in my drafts for a while. Being in a writing slump and just dealing with life has kept me from publishing this post for awhile but never mind that. I've read some pretty good psychological thrillers/mysteries this year/last year (a total of 21 I believe...) and I wanted to review …

That one time I discovered a Black thriller/mystery author…

Hiya folks! It's been too long and we'll just keep it at that. So in my quest to start reading more black authors/stories I stumbled on a very pleasant surprise - Dorothy Koomson. She's a British born Ghanaian author who writes thrillers/mystery books and you can imagine how ecstatic I was to delve into her …

My Favourite Books by Black Authors (Part 2)

Alright folks! Back at it with the part two. And yes I know it's been over a month since the last post but life happens. I've read a couple more books since my last post and as I said the last time, I'm rating these books in order of most to least favourite. So without …

My Favourite Books by Black Authors (Part 1)

So this year, I made a resolution (sort of) to not just start religiously reading again but to read more African/Black literature. And yes I know it's February already but as far as "resolutions" go I think I've done pretty good so far. Now in regards to reading, I've always loved burying my nose in …

Ice skating and mitten thieves…

Well hello there...I have quite the fascinating story to tell. And no, we are not going to address how I've been MIA for about a year but I do apologise, in case anyone other than my sister was waiting on a post. But I am here to tell you of quite the adventure I had …

So I tried yoga for the first time…here’s how it went.

So like I said in my previous post, I tried a couple of new things this past year. Some of which I intend on posting about, mostly because they were pleasantly surprising and also reinforced just how much fear of the unknown can hold you back. One major unexpected activity I tried is yoga. Lmaooo …

I’m BACK…I think??

Sooooooo...I may or may not have disappeared after my last post in March. Who am I kidding? I totally bailed on you guys and I am sooooo sorry. When I say I was experiencing the most prolonged bout of writer's block ever...BRUHH. My brain has been blank, well, besides being filled with theories and debates …

Don’t wear sexy clothes and you won’t get raped.

So over the course of this week, something really funny happened. Not necessarily "haha" funny but ironic nonetheless. I decided to write about this before I lose this bout of inspiration. Anyway, I was scrolling through my Facebook timeline when I came across an article about our lovely Minister for Gender and whatever else, Otiko …

So…did I enroll in college to get a degree or battle depression?

"Our Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives". – Chuck Palahniuk Dark title, I know. I also know a lot of college students can relate to this. That period when everything looks bleak and you just go through each day with literally no change in …

20 Badass quotes by women I live by.

Happy International Women's Day! Why, being a woman is the most exhilirating part of my life, believe it or not. It usually takes me a week or two to complete a post, but I simply couldn't let this day pass without doing something significant. So here's to all the uteruses, vaginas, pads, tampons, painkillers, vibrators, …
