About Me

My Name is Noluthando Dube, I am a South African, born, bred and buttered Joburger not forgetting a university graduate, who so happened to find luck in the last two years of my varsity days. I decided to apply for a part time job at a bookstore while completing my studies. Where's the luck in that you may be wondering? Well I thought I knew the extent of my love for books till I was completely surrounded by them. 

I started out my book journey with an obsession for biographies, then surprisingly I came across some amazing fiction novels and most importantly my first Young Adult Fiction Novel titled "All The Bright Places" written by Jennifer Niven. After reading that powerful book I realised just what I had been missing out on; since then I have devoured countless young adult fiction novels and many more genres.

With this blog I aim to share some of my favorite young adult fiction novels, new fiction, old fiction and even some biographies. I believe that books are the greatest escape and it would be a shame to not share that with you. In this blog I also aim to share some amazing destinations in Joburg that would be a great environment to read a book or two outside of the comfort of your lounge, bedroom or study. I do believe in the mythical and magical possibilities that every page in a book offers. . .therefore with that said I believe that the best way to take this journey is on the back of a unicorn of course☺.

Small Great Things-Jodi Picoult

Small great things! Smaaalll Great things! Oh Jodi Picoult. I must admit that it  took me some time to finish this book. I would say the reason for this would be the contents of this book; there's a lot of information to digest, to understand, to sympathize with . . . and even relate to? Blurb "When a newborn baby dies after a routine hospital procedure, there is no doubt about who will be held responsible: the nurse who had been banned from looking after him by his father.  What the nurse , her lawyer and the father of the child cannot know is how death will irrevocably change all of their lives , in ways both expected and not.  Small Great Things is about prejudice and power; it is about that which divides us and unites us." This book tackles prejudice and racism,homophobia in the most phenomenal ways. Three characters Ruth Jefferson an African American nurse, Turk Bauer the white supremacist and Kennedy, Ruths lawyer and baby Davis....

The Five People You Meet in Heaven-Mitch Albom♡

Happy New Year!!! Good day Bibliophiles I promised you this review so here it is. . . I have a new favorite book of all time.

This man goes by the name " Eddie ", often called Eddie Maintenance because of his name tag. Eddie dies while trying to save a little girl at his place of work, and thus starts a journey through Heaven. In his heaven, he meets five people, some strangers, some people he knows very well. These five people teach him lessons and  help him understand the impact he may have had in their lives, and the impact they had on his.  What did we love about it? Mitch Albom is a great writer!

Art for Mindfulness! My new obsession

Image by Noluthando Hey Bibliophiles! Thought I would talk to you about something a little different today. . . so not to long ago I found my mother engrossed in an adult coloring book. I kept thinking what the obsession was about, then a couple of days later I found myself colouring in a page or two. . . I think I'm going on five pages. . . five whole pages in a couple of days.  In the featured picture I have a new book that I started reading a week ago. Its titled " The Start of Me and You "; so why haven't I finished this book you ask? Well I have this bad habit of starting with a new book then somehow somewhere the universe pulls together and I find myself finding a new, equally amazing book that steals all of my attention. Fear not I will complete The Start of Me and You ; just as soon as I finish reading Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult and maybe, one more page of colouring. What do we love about Adult Colouring in Books? That it is extremel...
