That's good to know Suzette! I have read all of her books and this is the last one on the list to read. I love her writing style

Maya, I loved Purple Hibiscus & Half of a Yellow Sun. Americanah was good, but felt a bit different...

Purple hibiscus was my least favorite.

Did you see author's TED Talk?

I did for We should all be feminist

Enjoyed it!

I did too

I have this on my kindle. I'm gonna try to get to it while you guys are reading as well. I've enjoyed all of her books. I recently discovered Buchi Emecheta and their writing style and perspectives are very similar.

Great Lulu! Join in if you can. I will look this other author up. Thanks

I read & enjoyed "The Slave Girl"

Pardon me! Not the Slave Girl...I read The Bride Price

Tender and Delicate and I will be reading this as well this month. Was too good to pass up.

Happy reading! I had a library copy. many short stories. its hard to remember a select few, but I did enjoy it

This was recommended to me in a different group. I'm trying to read at least 25 books by women of color this year. I like short stories because I can read 1 or 2 and then read another book. Bonus-- I can finally read Chimamanda for the first time.

She is a great author. I have read all of her books. Half of a yellow sun is my favorite of all

If I enjoy this I will a novel of hers later in the year.

How did y'all like this book?

Getting from library tomorrow. Looking forward.

I enjoyed it Lee

I have read the first 5 stories and they are all amazing so far. Now I really want to read one of her full length novels later this year.

Glad you are enjoying. Adichie has a unique writing style

Still not sure which book to read first. I've heard great things about all of them.

I felt the same way about 2 yrs ago. I couldn't help it and just read them all lol

Loved it. I want to read Americanah for women's history month-- April.

Good choice! I enjoyed Americanah

I readHalf of a Yellow Sun some years ago and found it to be wonderfully written. I am half way through reading Americanah now and enjoying it very much.

For April I want to only read women authors so I will read one of the two of these books. They both sound wonderful.

I've never read her work. Looking forward to reading this. I own Americanah but haven't read the book. Looking forward to reading that as well.

You will not be sorry.

This was such a great book! I can't wait to read Americanah, I saw Half of a Yellow Sun on video, but I plan to read this one as well. hopefully I can get to it next month.

Americanah is amazing. Is there a thread for it? Hope to read Half a Yellow Sun later in the year so I can savor each book.

I'm still reading Americanah. Wonderful book. I just love love the blogs.
