AFRICAN BOOK ADDICT! was created mid-2014 and it’s dedicated to celebrating BLACK literature through book reviews, book chats with fellow readers & writers, book hauls and more. To me, BLACK literature represents books by writers who identify as African, African-American, Caribbean, Black Brit, Afropean, Afro-Asian, Afro-Latinx – the list goes on!

The blog was initially designed to share a few thoughts about the books I read and that's the aspect I still enjoy most. I don't give star ratings as my 5 stars might be someone else's 3 so I say what I thought instead, trying to be as honest as I can and I make the review personal to me as a reader. After a few months of blogging I realised just how hard it is for smaller publishers and independent authors to get their books noticed so I'm always willing to feature them if I can.

I am a book lover and reviewer. I’ve always loved reading and remember the joys of reading the Famous Five, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. I prefer crime fiction and psychological thrillers but also have a soft spot for chick-lit and women’s fiction and anything else that catches my interest.
