Impressed and also slightly terrified of the people who finish like 3 books a week. Do you sleep??!?

[Let's Read... @LetsRead_UK]

Really enjoying it and I haven't even read the book.
The execution has been exquisite.

Why aren’t more people talking about The Time Traveler’s Wife adaptation? Theo James and Rose Leslie are brilliant & it feels such a brilliant/complex rendition of the book. Genuinely think it’s outstanding

[Let's Read... @LetsRead_UK]

@JENDELLA It really does fly.
Thanks for making us all smile
Enjoy the rest of the summer and we can't wait to see your next book.
😘

[Let's Read... @LetsRead_UK]

Thank you @JENDELLA for joining us & being so open in sharing your Hope and Glory journey.
You left us with characters we loved & we can't wait to see what's in store for you next.
For those who haven't read it we definitely recommend it.

@LetsRead_UK Can’t believe we were taking for so long but times flies when you’re having fun and all that! 😁

Really enjoyed talking all things Hope & Glory (…and Julian 😏) with Let’s Read Book Club. Wonderful conversation! 🥰

One thing that always strikes me is that non fiction books about Africa (by Western publishers) are predominantly written by white people.

Why are we only given space in the world fiction? Why aren't we considered experts in our own realities? #AfricanExperts

Thank you so much @KGuilaine for stopping by tonight,
Your presence was most appreciated.
Good luck on the French launch of Living While Black.
I would write this in French but all I'll say is merci et bonne chance.

[Let's Read... @LetsRead_UK]

One of the reasons we exist.
For those that have followed us on Facebook since 2010 you know that at Let's Read we read books by Black authors and of Black interest.
We've been meeting monthly since Augusg 2010 and read books from across the Diaspora.
Follow us today 😊

A brief thread on why it’s so important to actually buy books written by minority ethnic authors 🧵

[Olivia Bussey @AchiengBussey]

Exhilarating read so far and spectacular debut from Caleb Azumah Nelson.
Beautifully written with prose that feels like poetry at times.❣

This was the first time we had read and discussed a manuscript before it was sent to an agent.
It's extremely exciting to see the book go from what we saw to what it's become and will continue to support you @VanessaWalters in all you do.

[Let's Read... @LetsRead_UK]

So proud that our mystery book by our dear friend @VanessaWalters has got a book deal and that we can publicly share.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey for The Nigerwife.
We are honoured to have read the manuscript.

This book!!! It is extraordinary--read-in-one-sitting good, both sharply twisty and beautifully evocative. I am so honored to partner with the amazing @VanessaWalters, who is a star; her voice grabbed me from page 1 and didn't let go until the last! & It's deal of the day!!!🔥🎉
