FictionWelcome to my library
this is just a record of books i've read along with how far i've gotten in reading them. i'm hoping that by making a page for them i'll be motivated to finish the 'unfinishables'.
Fiction
Suzanne Collins
- The Hunger Games Trilogy
- The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
- Sunrise on the Reaping
Yaa Gyasi
- Homegoing
Tanya Landman
- Buffalo Soldier
Jasper Fforde
- The Eyre Affair
- The Well of Lost Plots
- Something Rotten
(i read "Jane Eyre" because of "The Eyre Affair". there were too many references i was missing in the first few chapters in TEA so i stopped, read "Jane Eyre" and once i was all caught up, i realised after continuing with TEA that i didn't have to read the original. i enjoyed Charlotte Brontë's writing so i'm glad i read it.)
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- Purple Hibiscus
- Americanah
(i read her books as class readers in highschool and i found them to be an example of the conversations surrounding classism, feminism and religious trauma that exist in my community. i found out she's transphobic so i'd suggest sailing the high seas if you want to read these.)
Adekeye Adebajo

Chinua Achebe
- Things Fall Apart
