Turning Pages

I saw a lot of Oyinkan Braithwaite's debut novel, My Sister, the Serial Killer doing the rounds on book tube last year. I'm not usually a crime/thriller person, but I read this in one sitting it was that good. I truly enjoyed it.

Discovering Mohale Mashigo was such fun, her mind is truly incredible and it's evident in what she writes about. Her debut, The Yearning is spell-binding to say the least, and in today's episode I share my thoughts on this dynamite.

If I'm being honest, this is probably one of the first books that reignited a love for reading for leisure for me after varsity, and it is still among the first few books where I saw myself reflected. Any conversation about Cynthia Jele's Happiness is a Four-letter Word is one of love because of the memories it conjures up. Happy 10 years Happiness, may you continue exposing us to ourselves every single time we touch you.

The lockdown has us all feeling so anxious. Not as though our anxiety hadn't spiked when we realised just how wide reaching this global crisis is. I read when I'm anxious, and the idea of opening a book and escaping has always been a grand therapy for me. So, in this week’s episode I recommend 5 South African authors that are worth spending your time on during lockdown.

In this week's episode I delve into the buzzword 'representation' and what it means to me, why it even matters and what I'm hoping reading more African literature will do for me in this regards.
What was the first book you ever found yourself in?
