    My favourite is here.

    Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. This book is a typical example of what true love is. When you do something sacrificial for the one you truly love without expecting anything in return.

    Here's another one 90 Minutes In Heaven by Don Piper, it's a good book that'll make you heaven conscious and make you appreciate life for the small things we most times take for granted. ENJOY

      So how do you know they are Pharisees and just showing off when they mention the Bible? are you all-knowing? Ajuju! No need replying this one I am going to bed Lol.

    How I know I thoroughly enjoyed a book is if I read it several times.
    Things Fall Apart is a classic and timeless book, we have several copies in my family home and anytime I run into a copy, I always read it. Same with The Bottled Leopard and that book by Agbo Areo (The second Chance, I think).
    All of Adichie's works. Half of a yellow sun is my all time favorite book of hers. I've read it countless times.
    I am also a die hard fan of Stephen King. I can't decide which of his works I like best but I really enjoy his night shift series.
    Did I forget to mention Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot detective series? Kai!!! I love books sha.
    Sorry can't mention just one, these ones top my list.

    -The Bible, very interesting & deep, sometime u can't understand it.
    -The God Father by Francis Ford Coppola.
    -In God's Name by David Yallop.
    -All or most of Sidney Sheldon's.
    - Most of James Hadley Chase's.
    -Most novels about the cold war, espionage, CIA, KGB, MOSSAD, SCOTLAND YARD.
    I guess my mind is wired so differently for a lady. Most of these novels I read them whilst I was 15, 16 17. My friends were burying their heads in Mills&Boons, I read may be 1 or 2 of them. However I am romantic but very realistic. I am not a dreamer.

    Behold the Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue.
    This is a must read for everyone wanting to learn about the immigrant experience in America.
    Very engaging, witty, twists & turns with expected outcomes in the end anyway..for someone who knows the realities of harsh life facing undocumented migrants, asylum seekers abroad.
    This book is a good one! Even Oprah Winfrey endorsed it!
