With a Pandemic before us and the constant advise to wash our hands, social distancing, quarantine. I feel like the best buddy these times is really a book. Not just any book! A good book.
So I recommend the following books knowing that you should like it because they are really good.
1. Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is set in a different time so you get to escape from the happenings around you and find solace in a different time. Like a handy time machine. And it is also about love so how about that?
2. A Religious Book.
As we try to just stay calm and far away from others as much as we can. If you are religious like me, you may cling to the Bible, the Quran, according to your faith.
This I know is very rewarding. Like a personal counsellor.
3. Born A Crime by Trevor Noah.
Details the childhood of Trevor Noah. Really fun and insightful Journey. With great loads of comic relief. If you are in for chuckling while reading then this book is definitely going to do the trick.
4. Tell Me Your Dreams by Sidney Sheldon
Tell me your dreams is a psychological thriller about Ashley who due to some past events developed Multiple Personality Disorder. I am trying my best to avoid spoilers here. This is a good read I tell you.
I read this book back in secondary school and I can vividly remember how hooked I was to the story. I could not even stop to go to the bathroom.
5. The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The thing around your neck is a collection of short stories by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Chimamanda possesses great storytelling prowess so you are bound to be entertained.
6. The Sun Is Also A Star
The sun is also a star is a young adult romance novel set in New York City. Two teenagers fall in love at an unlikely point in their lives. Natasha's family is facing deportation and Daniel a Korean-American has a college interview. They fall in love on a beautiful day with an unclear future.
7. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
I am really not into self-empowering books because I always find empowering messages in every book.
However, I read John Greene's The 48 Laws of Power and it happened to be the only self-help book I have successfully finished.
So I am recommending it. I know most people have read it but you can take it for another spin.
8 Smart Money Woman by Arese Ugwu
This is also a great book about business mindedness. This book is not a stiff-necked business book because it uses practical story following the lives of Zuri and friends as they journey to financial freedom. Highly recommended.
