Well I suppose you must be wondering, where are all those reviews she promised? Well the truth is that they are on the way but they are seriously delayed. They are all piled on my desk waiting for me to attend to them. To be honest i have not done much of reading novels. I have just finished my second book called Amelia's Inheritance and i plan to get started on completing my third one in the next week. I will be finished writing it by the end of this year(it's another masterpiece i'm working on so watch this space!). In addition i do a lot of reading the bible and other Christian material and so my other book reviews seem to have taken the back seat. However, i have been pondering over my reviews for The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and Many Rivers by Chris Mlalazi. The Alchemist is interlaced with mysticism and biblical themes such that i am finding it quite complex and yet incredibly interesting. The characters of Many Rivers live a life that is in many ways shocking and alien to me however, a lesson that life for some is not always a bed of roses. Also in the back of my mind are Uncle Blen Blen's childrens stories that i am very eager to read. Harare North, Petinah Gappa and Carribean Tales also come to mind. However, even though i have a large pile i have been tempted to pile on more. David Mungoshi's new novel The Fading Sun tackles the difficult subject of women and breast cancer. Definitely something to look forward to. Then there is the novel I discovered on Amazon by a lady called Sarah Ladipo Manyika. Her novel is called In Dependence. This is a boy meets girl novel. Judging from the reviews it is certainly going to be something that i look forward to reading. Anyway, Happy New Year and yes the reviews are coming slowly but surely.
