Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books I Read in 2018
Happy New Year!! I know this was technically last week's topic, but shhh! I'm going to do it anyways because I didn't get a chance to do it yet. I ended up reading way more books than I expected to in 2018, so picking just ten was actually pretty difficult. In the order that I read them, … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Best Books I Read in 2018

Fifteen years after the publication of her debut novel Purple Hibiscus in 2003, Adichie continues to make headlines today.
