I’m a mood-reader so I’m currently in the mood to enjoy a non-African literature novel this month, and so far, I like Lahiri’s work! I’m quite behind on the Lahiri bandwagon, but oh well! I recently found her books ( Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake) at a used bookshop in Accra called Ghana Book Trust. I’m slowly reading my 22nd book of the year – Interpreter of Maladies by Indian-American author, Jhumpa Lahiri. Reviews for the rest of the books will be posted as the months go by!

During the summer I read 9 books some were light reads, others were more on the heavy side.

As the summer rolled along I realized that I would surpass this goal, so I challenged myself to read 20 books this year…. In my last challenge updateI stated that I planned on reading at least 15 books this year. Summer is basically over (this year, the first day of Fall is Wednesday – September 23rd) and real life is back in full effect :(.
