I know how it is like, reading would be the most frivolous thing to do at the moment.<br />My heart goes with you and with all your family.<br /><br />I am looking forward to reading your reviews. I have read and reviewed all of those novels you mentioned.<br /><br />By the way, thank you for the compliment.Mary Okeke Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093194142479071407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086606904260296965.post-3014350913663293752013-04-11T18:37:40.896+02:002013-04-11T18:37:40.896+02:00You no dey look bad at all, sister.

This year, I've read about four books only which I am yet to review. The Kite runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, (Khaleed Husseini) The Bride Price (Emecheta) Actually the first two are carry overs from last year. <br /><br />The first quarter of this year has not been easy on me traveling up and down for pop's long winded funeral arrangements which will finally end at the end of this month.

I can't imagine my novel going blank and at the same time the words falling on the snow. Thanks for the compliments. Though, I blushed a bit.<br /><br />You are still on time to read The Concubine, it's got a tragic ending. <br /><br />Nana, you shouldn't complain, wow 16 books are quite a lot, we are only in April. I really admire your effort. Knowing that most of the novels you read are quite voluminous. I am sure you will end up accomplishing your goal.<br /><br />regarding the pictures, you still have time to take some, I will need them for June, so you have the whole second trimester of the year to take one or two of your self reading.<br /><br />Once again, Thank you for the compliments. I truly appreciate. I will always continue try my best.Mary Okeke Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093194142479071407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086606904260296965.post-7641434244188558892013-04-08T13:58:49.283+02:002013-04-08T13:58:49.283+02:00Hi Mary, you look stunning in that picture; you co...Hi Mary, you look stunning in that picture; you could make the words fall from the page. I've read only The Diaries of a Dead African by Chuma Nwokolo, as you know. Should have read The Concunbine by Elechi Amadi a long time ago since it was given to us at school. But like most students, we pushed that aside and did our own reading.<br /><br />This year, I think I've read 16 books (on my 17th) and yet I'm behind on my reading challenge. Yes, I keep a challenge though, like I said, I won't push myself through it and sacrifice the quality of reading for quantity (besides, the books I'm reading are sometimes voluminous like War and Peace at over 1300 pages). My aim of keeping a challenge, however, is to make sure I read consistently and not allow any event to derail it. Without the challenge, I sometimes sway and misuse my time... but the challenge (which began last year) kept me focused. <br /><br />Wish I had a picture of me reading... but the places I read... lol. I like your commitment to African novels, not many people are able to do that. It's great; keep it up.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086606904260296965.post-33178508679374059202013-04-07T22:03:16.381+02:002013-04-07T22:03:16.381+02:00Hey Bi,

You get enticed.<br /><br />hahaha.. yeah it was only cold, I was wrapped up anyway. In any case, I totally agree with you "Warm and snug with a mug of tea".<br /><br />Cheers.Mary Okeke Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093194142479071407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086606904260296965.post-33400165464691902802013-04-07T21:35:20.335+02:002013-04-07T21:35:20.335+02:00I haven't read any of this list.
