This episode was first recorded at the end of 2020. There was a lot of internal toing and froing about the sound quality, but eventually, because this was such an important conversation, I opted to let it air.

In today's Conversation I am chatting with Tshegofatso Motlhake, aka A Time To Share Books. Tshego is a fellow BookTuber and Bookstagrammer.

Find her here: BookTube, Bookstagram.

This episode was a live that aired first on my YouTube (BookTube) channel. Chigozie Obioma was gracious enough to accept an invitation to chat about his debut novel, The Fishermen, which was one of the  Vuvu Vena Reads (online) Bookclub  book picks for 2020.

I have since taken an executive decision to have all conversations with authors/book lovers or players in the literature space take place on Turning Pages.

After a lot of introspection, I decided to go at this one more time. I feel more grounded, more certain and more determined than I was in season one and I cannot wait to unravel the world that's waiting for me in season 2.

To those of you who kept seeing me even when I struggled to see myself, I'm ever so grateful. During my period of self-doubt, worry and second-guessing, Turning Pages was listed as one of the Top 30 African Literature Podcasts to Follow by Feedspot, I must say, we were in great company.

I look forward to walking this journey with you this year. The aim is to remain consistent and share one episode a week (on Tuesdays) throughout 2021. Feel free to keep rating the podcast and subscribing too. It all works together towards the ultimate goal.

I first read Mohale Mashigo's sophomore offering in 2018 when Pan MacMillan South Africa sent me a review copy. At the start of this year I reread this gem and it was equally as pleasing the second time around.
