We seem to have our knickers in a twist with these 2 books! In this episode, Olamide and I review 2 completely different books across 2 genres.

The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden was our March pick, to fit with our 'suspense' theme. Was it suspenseful? And is this one of our recommended reads? Listen to find out!

One Day by David Nicholls was meant to be a feel good, romantic palette cleanser for two busy mums who just wanted an easy enough read. If only wishes were horses eh? This book had us divided and very much in our feels.

If you would like to join us on our reading journey, why not read along with us? The theme for April was Personal Development. Current reads include: Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck and Financial Joy by Ken and Mary Okoroafor.

Happy reading!

Two great books in this episode, both historical fiction. China Room by Sunjeev Sahota is a story about a young girl married to a man she doesn't know. It explores generational trauma, racism and tradition.

In this mini episode, I talk about a book I read in February 'Maame' by Jessica George. A deeply moving story that I didn't want to put down! There are some books that stay with you long after you've finished reading them. This is one of them.

In this first ever episode of BBMDR, Azeeza talks reading across different platforms (and why you should give it a go). In this first episode, I was quite keen to explore some of the struggles us mums have which stop us from prioritising our passion for reading and how we can get round this.

I also discuss what I thought about the first book I read this year, Alice Walker's classic 'The Color Purple' and 'A Spell of Good Things' by Nigerian author Ayobami Adebayo.

Don't forget to write and tell me what you're currently reading or books you would like for us to discuss.
