is it da one by sister souljah ?

Oh, Dammy! Yes! Yes! Yes! I think that girl, Sister Souljah, needs to win an award for that work alone. It's awesome!

i'm reading it now i like da way she uses d words makes it seem like shes rhymin it together. i think it's gon be good cuz i'm just on da 4th page. she like saying she don't like herself!!!

Lol! You're just starting. I bet you -- you're going to cry!

I am a big fan of Heartsong inspirational romance books (I don't buy them, but my sister does and I read them all!).  I recently finished 'Frieda's Song' by Kathleen Scarth, about a marriage of convenience which blossoms into a loving relationship.  Currently reading 'The Long Ride Home' by Andrea Boeshaar, about a nurse who falls in love with her cowboy patient who was injured while riding a bull!

A friend sent me 'Forgiving' by Lavyrle Spencer, about a female newspaper publisher who had to rescue her junior sister from a life of prostitution (her sister ran away from home at 15 to get away from her father who was violating her, only to go into prostitution).   It's not in the Heartsong series, though.

So what are you currently reading!
i've read d 3 books. i luv emm!!!! i used to subscribe to heart stong and they send me 4books everymonth but i stopped d subscription like 4months ago so now i just buy them at da store or borrow it 4rm da library!!

cry i doubt it it's very rare 4 me to cry about books though i've cried about sum b4 but it's not dat common. i might be really moved by d book but i'm not sure if i'm gon cry!

It sounds like she rhymes because she was a rapper and a poet in those days. You know, when she clashed with Bill Clinton and all that Jazz.

cry i doubt it it's very rare 4 me to cry about books though i've cried about sum before but it's not that common. i might be really moved by d book but i'm not sure if i'm gon cry!

But, are you going to tell me the truth, if it moves you to tears? Or, you're just trying to "se ako"?

Aight i promise if i shed one little tear i'm gon tell ya!!!

OK, read on, and good luck

Nervous Conditions - Tsitsi Damgbaremgba

The Concubine - Elechi Amachi

Everything Good will come - Sefi Atta

Changes - Ama Ata Aidoo

Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Alan Paton - Cry the Beloved Country (MUST READ)

James Ngugi - Weep Not Child, A Grain of Wheat

Wole Soyinka - Ake (MUST READ) particularly if from Abeokuta as I am!!

Chinua Achebe - Everyhing He's ever written

The Devil that Danced on the Water - Aminatta Forna

I could go on but I'll stop there for now!! I'll be visiting this post often now that I've discovered it so please let me know if you've read any of the above and if you haven't I strongly suggest you do. Also, does anyone know where I can get pacesetters novels to buy in the UK?? Thanks a lot!!

Page 87 , so far so good

the cops take her dad to jail ... cant wait to see what happens nxt.

Nice, KC:
Keep on reading. Have you been moved to tears yet?

hi guys, has anyone read francine rivers books?
i'm reading scarlett thread

i am currently reading Hollywood Wives - in the new generation by Jackie Collins.

Who has read The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born by Ayi Kwei Armah?
Every1 should read it. It's very interesting.

i want to read 'shall we tell the president. i've been told its interesting on another level but i just cant seem to get past the first chapter. has anyone read it? should i push myself? will it be worth my while?

I am currently reading Zadie Smith's "White Teeth". I plan to read her latest book, "On Beauty" as soon as I am done. I finished reading Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" yesterday. I had picked up his "Davinci Code" on my way from Paris to Lagos - incredible book! "Angels and Demons" isn't as charged but it's also interesting.

A friend of mine sent me  Nigerian book "Walking with Shadows". I was surprised that the novel is about a gay Nigerian. When did Nigerians start writing about gay issues? It's not a fantastically written book but it's interesting.

Last month, I read mostly Toni Morrison. I love her books so much (I've read almost every book she has ever written).

Nah , im almost done .. i didnt shed a tear .. Lol i mean some parts were shockin. Im at where she leaves Souljah's house to this hotel or whatever n she reads souljah n midnight's letters.

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get enid blyton ebooks, thanks alot.

Ehhhh baje i saw some Blyton books in a children's store in Abuja and i was so excited. Someone cautioned me against buying them because he thinks i'm wasting money buying books i read as a child when i can buy books i'm yet to read. I agreed but i really miss them.

@gentleone. Yes Ive read some of Francine Rivers' books. Have you read the Women of faith series by her? Theyre five in the series.

Has anyone read the left behind series? Ive read to the ninth one. Its by Tim Lahaye and ... I'll check and tell you tomorrow.

@delarontus.Yes gal,I remember the enid blyton stories. Such a long time ago.

Who used to read the sweet valley high series?

@ibiwunmi, i hated the beautiful ones are not yet born! i just couldnt understand the book, it was one of the literature books we read in school.

gentleone, thanks. i'll do just that, just as soon as i get past these nagging headaches i've been having for a little while now.
cain and abel is another book i've heard so much about yet cant find it in me to pick it up and read. but now that you mention it, i think i'll give it another shot. so which should i read first? cain and abel or shall we tell the president?
