Friday Feb 18, 2022

This week on the podcast I read the amazing, the iconic, the classic novel "Half of a Yellow Sun." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is no newcomer and yet I will urge anyone who hasn't read this book to go read it. It's amazing.
I'll be back in two weeks with "Moon Witch, Spider King"; I might be back before that...
