Blind Dates and Consequences

I absolutely hate blind dates after one horrible experience i had back in High School. It was those times when i just got my first phone, a nokia torch and back in the dorm, at night, we would listen to those late night shows where lonely people air their numbers. It was all a game…

Borrow Borrow Bookies

We all have that friend, the one we call ‘borrow borrow’. They borrow and never return. Infact, they borrow to own. Once, i had this short beautiful pink skirt i had never worn before. I decided to lend it to my friend and she wore it everywhere and got all the beautiful compliments. My anger…

BookLovers Wish List: The Right Books

Okay, so i said all i want for Christmas is books. But… There was a certain period in school when the boys were giving a lot of slaps, unfortunately, to the girls. Tensions were high and even the unpopular boys had something to prove while we, the girls, cowered in fear cos we didn’t know…

All a BookLover Wants For Christmas Is…

Christmas, the season of harmattan(dry stale wind from the sahara), chapped lips, broken skin and lots of headless chicken.

Annoying Habits of BookLovers

Damona

Angela had always seen them, things she couldn’t explain, things no one else could see. The first time she had seen one of the creatures hanging on the roof of a building, she ran to tell her mother. ‘It’s only a dream’ her mother had said. But it wasn’t a dream. Nobody believed her, they…

Love and Lust

“I shouldn’t be here.” Even as Lisa said this to herself, her legs moved forward steadily. She had no control over them, their determined strides contrasted with her quivering heart. She got to the gate and knocked. ‘Leave! Leave now. It’s not too late to back out’ a small voice whispered in her ears. She…

In Love With a Married Man

The first thing you should know about me is that I am a good girl, a church girl even. I am not a bad person, I just love doing the right thing after all, I don’t want to end up in hell. Who wants that anyways? Another thing you should know is that this is…
