I've been a bit out of the loop when it comes to publishing recently. So I'm gonna be honest -- I was attracted to this one first by the cover, then by the synopsis, then pleasantly surprised that everyone else seemed to already be on board. Built-in bookclubs, yay!
I am absolutely in love. I don't think I even have a valid critique of this book -- it was that good. And I'm hard to please nowadays.
Let's just pretend February 1st is actually January 1st, okay? Okay. The first month of the year was busy, and I'll talk about that in another post (maybe! I'm unpredictable!), but finally we're getting back into the swing of things. While I'm getting over a bout of COVID (oh yes, it got me), I figured I would drop an update here regarding my reading. That's a topic I haven't brought up in a while! I completed a grand total of 3 books this January. Rough start, huh? My reading habits have been all out of wack the past couple of months, but that's okay -- even for a book blogger. That's an uncomfortable fact I'm grappling with at the moment.
I feel like I'm always saying something along these lines, but I've been meaning to read Chibundu Onuzo's Welcome to Lagos for some time now. Too many books, always. Anyways, I got lucky with this one falling into my audiobook queue curtesy of my favorites over at libro.fm. This. Has. Everything. I don't remember the last time I was so caught up in a story, but Sankofa kept me hanging. The writing is fresh, quick, and enthralling. I will most definitely be hunting down a copy of Welcome to Lagos because even though I know it is a different story following different characters, I just want more of Onuzo's writing.
