I laughed out loud so many times because the truth is funny. My big take away from this is, I do not have to behave like a man to achieve anything as that is a lowering instead of a rising up. I need to remember that! I am going to purchase her other books! A Queen!

The complete BBC Radio adaptations of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency featuring Botswana's only female private detective agency, run by the irrepressible Precious Ramotswe. Based on the hugely popular novels and brought to life with music and full casts, these evocative productions return us to Botswana, where Precious has more mysteries to solve.

Such a lovely series. I hope he brings it back. Botswana is now on my list of places to go to. The performance would have been 5 stars of the accents were 100% authentic. Lol

Reviewed: 17-08-24
It would have been 5 stars all around but for the mispronunciation of simple things like "papa" and "Adunni". The lady who voiced this, did in fact do a great job but the nuance was missing - around names, phrases and the like. Authors should read their work if there are language specific names and phrases. Saying that, it was beautiful!

Some say the great mystery of how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago. Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff of dreams. They are wrong. In the small town of Eden, Utah, a blind girl named Rachelle Matthews is about to find out just how wrong.

Sade Hussein is the new girl at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy. She has no idea what to expect of her mysterious new boarding school–an institution steeped in tradition and secrets. But she certainly didn't imagine her roommate, Elizabeth, to go missing on her first night. Or for people to think Sade had something to do with it. Suddenly everyone is talking about Sade, including the Unholy Trinity: the three most popular girls at school. Swept up in their circle, Sade can't shake the sense that there's more to Elizabeth's disappearance–especially as the teachers don't seem to care.

Treasure and her mother lost everything when Treasure's daddy died. Haggling for scraps in the market, Treasure meets a spirit who promises to bring her father back—but she has to do something for him first. Ozoemena has an itch in the middle of her back that can't be scratched. An itch that speaks to her patrilineal destiny, to defend her people by becoming a leopard. But as the two girls reckon with their burgeoning wildness and the legacy of their fathers' decisions, Ozoemena's fellow students at her new boarding school start to vanish.

A great story and the writing style reminds me of Ben Okri. The Narrators did their best but most of the names were mispronounced. Cultural awareness were lacking. Phrases were butchered. All these annoyed me so much it took the enjoyment out of it. The accents were Wakandan 😅 . If it had English names, it would have been incredible. It was disappointing.

Meet Maddie. To her mostly absent mum, she's Maame, the woman of the family. To her dad, she's his carer—even if he hardly recognises her. To her friends, she's the one who still lives at home, who never puts herself first. It's time to become the woman she wants to be. The kind who wears a bright yellow suit, says yes to after-work drinks and flirts with a 30-something banker. Who doesn't have to Google all her life choices. Who demands a seat at the table.

Shigidi is a disgruntled and demotivated nightmare god in the Orisha spirit company, reluctantly answering prayers of his few remaining believers to maintain his existence long enough to find his next drink. When he meets Nneoma, a sort-of succubus with a long and secretive past, everything changes for him. Together, they attempt to break free of his obligations and the restrictions that have bound him to his godhood and navigate the parameters of their new relationship in the shadow of her past. But the elder gods that run the Orisha spirit company have other plans for Shigidi.

I have given up on talking about people who read Nigerian stories. Saying that, as lovely as his voice is, (sound, texture etc...) I would have loved it even more if the voice actor was familiar with Nigerian phrases and colloquialisms. Not utilising the opportunity to say, "Kabiyesi" took away from it. I did love his take on Nneoma. He sounded like her and that was great! On the story, I loved this so much. It is an exciting read. A story that shows all the wonderful things that can happen when you have the right mentor. A story of the posibilities and capability. I look forward to more from this writer.

Everywhere we turn, we hear negative financial news - that the American Dream is dead or that the little man can’t get ahead. Our culture feeds us the lie that it’s impossible to become a millionaire in America today, but it’s time you heard the truth. In his newest book, Everyday Millionaires: How Ordinary People Built Extraordinary Wealth - and How You Can Too, Chris Hogan destroys millionaire myths that are keeping everyday people from achieving financial independence.
