Have you read My Sister, the Serial Killer yet? If not you really should. Truly awesome, best read of 2019 so far! Read my review - link in bio. #mysistertheserialkiller #bestreads #bookstoread #readersofig #bookrecommendation #oyinkanbraithwaite #justreadit
Really very sad to hear about Andrea Levy's passing. An amazing writer who brought stories of the Windrush generation to life with her honest (at times painfully so) and humorous accounts of being Black and British. RIP wonderful lady. Read more of my thoughts about this on my website (link in the bio). #andrealevy #blackbritishliterature #blackbritishwomen #blackbritishwriters #smallisland #thelongsong #neverfarfromnowhere
Prepare to feel distinctly uneasy and a little bit on edge reading Speak Gigantula by #irenosenokojie. Read my review of this strange short story collection (link in bio). #shortstories #surrealism #bookstoread #bookrecommendation #readersofig
A Happy New Year to you all on the Gram! Can we still say Happy New Year?? Oh well I'ma say it anyway😁. Seven days in and I've finally got round to writing my New Year intentions for the year, which you're welcome to check out (link in the bio). And you can also check out my mini review of 2018. #happynewyear #newyearintentions #goals #writing #reading #exercise #mindfulness
I'm loving @michelleobama 's memoir Becoming.Thoughtful, inspiring and surprisingly relatable. It's everything I thought it would be and then some. This also marks the first time I'm listening to an audiobook rather than reading, which is unexpectedly pleasant experience. #bookstoread #bookrecommendation #michelleobama #becoming #audiobooks #readersofig #bookstagram
A truly delightful and inspiring novella exploring ageing, loss and friendship. Like a Mule Bringing Ice Cream to the Sun gave me all the feels πŸ™‚πŸ™‚. Highly recommended!

Fantastic time watching the @mostlylitpod team: Raifa Rafiq, Alex Reads and Derek Owusu talk books and film @britishfilminstitute Southbank for #BFIPodstock. Thank you guys also for taking time out to chat with me afterwards. Much love 😊 #podcast #mostlylit #podstock #books #film #culture #readersofig #recommended
Just posted a review for Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi. Not the easiest of reads but a good book nonetheless. Review link in bio #bookstoread #bookreview #blackhistorymonth #africanliterature #kintu #bookrecommendation
Very enjoyable evening @newbeaconbooks with the legendary Linton Kwesi Johnson. Was a joy and a privilege to hear his poetry in the flesh and listen to him reminisce over his career and share his thoughts on current politics. Blog post coming soon! #blackheroes #blackhistorymonth #lintonkwesijohnson #poetry #blackbritishauthors #blackbritishliterature #blackbritish
