Thanks for the friend request! Happy to connect. I appreciate your linking the Africa reading challenge on your book blog, but unfortunately, I can't reciprocate as I don't really blog on books. Time and all those excuses. But I've subscribed to the RSS feed of your blog, so I'll check in when I can.
Cheers!

Noticed you liked The Bluest Eye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:
