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☺.

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 book is more than just a fictional title, this book made me stop and think of all of the interactions I have had with people that I have come into contact with.  The Five People You Meet in Heaven follows the story of an elderly mans life and death. 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! I got through this book in three days and this is because I really needed to know who Eddie was go...

Have a craft beer while you read your favorite novel?

Blackhorse Cider Image by Noluthando   The Craft Beer Library   Hello fellow Bibliophiles!, Just a week ago I was in Linden with my boyfriend trying out something new at an eatery called the "Craft Beer Library" situated in Linden. It is known for it's wide variety of craft beers and it's delicious food to pair with it. Now I know you're trying to piece together how this would be a great environment to read a book? Trust me when I say, the thought crossed my mind while sitting at my table, with my pink cider, on how perfect of an environment this would be for my future escapes!. I must add that my judgement could be based on the time of day that I arrived and spent at the CBL, which was around 12 pm to about 2pm during the day; nonetheless it was an amazing environment, beautiful interior and the sun was shining. I cannot end this blog post without giving you a little insight on my meal. I ordered "The Hogshead" which is pulled pork on a crunchy...

Lisa Heathfield-Paper Butterflies

" June's life at home with her stepmother and stepsister is a dark one-and a secret one. Not even her dad knows the truth. Shes trapped like a butterfly in a jar, Then June meets Blister, a boy in the woods. In him, she finds a glimmer of hope that perhaps she can find a way to fly far, far away.  But freedom comes at a price. . ." Hey Bibliophiles, I've read many of tragedies in my life, but this takes the cup❤! June is living a Cinderella-esque type of life with her stepmother and her step sister, but on a much greater scale. Her stepmother over feeds her, plates her dinner on the floor, chokes her. . .among other brutal abusive acts. June is crying out for help and quietly hoping that her teachers, school nurses or doctors will ask her if everything is okay at home, so that they can set her free; unfortunately no one really notices. Thankfully fellow Bibliophiles things look up when she meets Blister. As always I don't want to give too much away. ...
