Alicia’s comments from the Continent Read-a-thon group.

Awesome thank you! :)

Hey quick question - has the august continent been decided yet? And will we have one in December, or will it finish with Oceania in October? Thanks :)

*African book - I don't know what went wrong there! My phone tends to be a little...temperamental when it comes to spelling! ;)

Hey guys! I've finally managed to upload my book review of The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives onto my blog, Secrets of the Student Life. You can find the post here:

Book Review: The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives by Lola Shoneyin | secretsofthestudentlife

*WARNING* The post DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS but if you want a spoiler-free version, just follow the link to my Goodreads review (in the blog post, near the top). I enjoyed Baba Segi more than I thought I would, and I'm very glad that I decided to read it. I recommend it to any of you who haven't yet read it, or who want another Adrican bol to read!

I think a few other people have read Baba Segi too, I think that could be an interesting one :) and I'm also in the middle of purple hibiscus and it's going pretty well!

Terry, that sounds very intriguing! And as a (semi) Humanities student, I think I'll have to track it down ;)

Oooh I didn't know she wrote poetry too, I'll have to check that out! And same, I hope she continues writing. She's a very talented author.

I've ordered Americanah from the library but it hasn't arrived so I think I'll have to read that one in march. I was very surprised by how good Baba Segi was!

Finished The Secret Lives and really enjoyed it - review will be up soon. Starting Purple Hibiscus and No 1 Ladies Detective Agency today.

I'll definitely have to continue into March - not all of my books have arrived at the library yet :)

Quick question: is it every month we change continent, or every other month? I ask because last time I looked at the schedule thing there was a new continent every other month. Thanks!

I'm starting The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives and The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency today! Very excited, especially about Detective Agency :)

I'm hoping I can get Purple Hibiscus or I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings from the library so I can start one of them today!
