Hello once again my lovelies, 

So today's blog is courtesy of the song Broken by McClean (yes I'm an old school RNB fan, sue me).


"You said you'd never leave, left me.. broken." - McClean

I think sometimes we forget just how much influence that we have. People have the power to make or break someone,  based on just a look. It's crucial as creators and creations that we become aware of that thought. I stumble alot.... on books of course (and life) . I love how books can change your perceptions and even make life interesting.  So today I have 3 books to share with you, books that I've read and LOVED. 


THE VIRGIN MONOLOGUES - Carrie Lloyd 



An absolute gem for those who are seeking solace in loneliness, and God. I think it exemplifies finding yourself, discovering that you are a creature of God and then accepting that. However it shares a loneliness that we all are prone to, one of seeking a mate and remembering along the way that you have perhaps the best mate ever, Jesus. Carrie Lloyd makes this whitty, enjoyable and sometimes sarcastic book into something we can all relate to as women following Christ. Trying not make a mistake when it comes to love and keeping God in the focus, this introspective book is AWESOME (and pretty).

WE SHOULD ALL BE FEMINISTS - CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHE 


From her famous talk, We should all be feminists. If you've heard her talk, you've read her book. It's as simple as that. However reading the words adds a texture that is refined and more centred, nothing much to say about the book. It is what it says on the tin. Challenges norms, between femininity and feminism While one connotes a meek spirit the other is more of power, it's about identity and freedom. Great Read. 

THE GREAT GATSBY - F SCOTT FITZGERALD 


We've all read this or at least watched the Leonardo DiCaprio version of the Film. It's about a dream, and keeping hold of that dream, trying to redo the past. 
"You can't repeat the past," Gatsby replies, "Why of course you can." 
 If anything I enjoy it's sentimental nature (romanticism) in a time of great depression, don't we all have those moments. Not to spoil it for you, I'll synopsis it. Boy likes girl, girl is too rich, poor boy becomes rich, rich girl is married, poor rich boy tries to win her back. Tadaaaa.

Hope you've loved this little ..............blog.

Anyways
bye
