Book recommendations for newbies!

[@temiloluwaadeniyi-aogo5554]

Can I add that, I have come to appreciate African fiction much more because of you? Your love for them, has influenced me. So I'm always on the look out for them. And each time I read them, I see the stark difference from "Oyinbo" books and how wholesome, and enriching they are. We've got us some immensely talented writers in Africa.

[@anajadorcas5113]

I've read all of them!! I feel so proud of myself😂😭😭❤

[@temiXmy]

I've read purple hibiscus(this list won't be complete without a chimamanda book) and the secret lives of baba segi's wives. Both amazing reads. Must read Stay with me now. Thanks for the recommendations! Please do this every once in a while xx

[@crowchay]

I finished Stay With Me yesterday. I loooooooove eeet

[@ifeoluwaogunbodede4933]

I’ve read all three🤗❤️

[@temitopoketikun3590]

all are staples

[@temitopeoketikun1379]

all are staples!

[@udemeasian]

Currently reading “the secret lives of baba segi’s wives” I hope I enjoy it, purple hibiscus is such a simple but powerful story. I recommend mechanics of Yenagoa by Micheal Afenfia & the yNBA by OLAOLUWA ONI

Great recs Jola! I’ve read all 3 and often revisit them. I want to get my hands on a hard copy of “A broken people’s playlist.” I am currently reading “Black Sunday” by Tola Rotimi Abraham My other recs are: Happiness, Like Water by Chinelo Okparanta Daughters who walk this path by Yejide Kilanko Swallow by Sefi Atta

[@AyomideOBankole]

Hi Bam A, Thank you for these recommendations! I would look out for them now

[@ekengoziregina7200]

Thank you so much for these recommendations. Everyone should really get 'A broken people's playlist' - I cried and laughed and cried some more. You should also get his book 'Tomorrow died yesterday' - you'll love it.

[@bama9215]

@@ekengoziregina7200 thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out!

[@bama9215]

@@AyomideOBankole awesome! Happy reading!

African Literature or Writers are phenomenal....Reading about cultures is way different than watching it on tv. Really good recommendations

[@sheygreen839]

I have read 2 out of 3, Purple Hibiscus and Stay with Me( I am in love with these books). Will get the second book you recommended. Thanks and Happy for our new channel💃🏽.

[@temiloluwaadeniyi-aogo5554]

I have read all three! And I agree, these 3 books are enough to indoctrinate anyone into African Fiction. I would add, This House is Not for Sale by E.C. Osondu, it's a very lovely book riddled with humour. I look forward to watching more videos from you. Cheers!

[@uchennaugwu904]

I have read all three. Love, love,love them. Three other books I would definitely add to the list is half a yellow sun by chimamanda adichie, daughters who walk this path by Yejide Kilanko and buried beneath the baobab tree by Adaobi tricia nwaubani

[@inbetweenbooks4168]

The first african lit books, I read were the fishermen by chigozie obioma and born on a tuesday by elnathan john I think they are really good and they really made me fall in love with African literature and also the death of vivek oji by akwaeke emezi is also one of my favourite books

[@ekengoziregina7200]

Hi Jola, thank you for starting this and the recs too. Looking forward to more videos.

[@tawakaltoseni6095]

I've read all three. I really look forward to your next recommendation. Love you, Jollz!

[@DanielsJoyce]

Looking forward to more videos like this! Read the first two and I love love them! Going to find and read the 3rd book with my book club. I’ll also recommend Zikora by Chimamanda Adichie for anyone looking for more books to read.

[@ednaathunge6956]

I have read all three of the books and I love it alot. Recommend more please.

[@igbuduchinenye9611]

I’ve read all the books ☺️❤️

[@nusaybahfuad-gafar743]
