7 Minutes to Freedom by Natalya Androsova
Natayla Androsova is a writing coach with a clear goal in her mind. Her goals come across very beautifully when I read this. No, you won’t be able to read this book in 7 minutes, but serves a good purpose. It’s clear that she wants her readers and pupils become courageously authentic. Most of all, she wants us to be kinder to herselves. It dosen’t surprise me that she hosts writing retreats and writing groups. After reading this book, I can imagine her writing groups will be a lot of fun to take part in.

What Britain Did To Nigeria
Books on pre-colonial Nigerian history by Nigerian authors are a bit reminiscent of London buses; you wait for one for a very long time, and guess what? two buses turn up at the same time. This is exactly what we have got with the brilliant work by the great historian of the Nigerian military era - Max Siollun and Formation by Messrs. Fagbule and Fawehinmi.

Book review: Wind, sand and stars (Terre des hommes) by Antoine de Saint Exupery
Summary Antoine de Saint Exupery wrote this book to give an account of his adventures as an airplane pilot during the early days of aviation. He manages to provide details of his anticipation during his training and on his way to his virgin flight, as well as his accident and how he survived, when his plane crashed in the middle of the desert. On top of that, he also describes the adventures of his fellow pilots over the Sahara Desert and in other areas of the world in graphic detail, as these pioneers literally fought to death to establish new air travel routes.

Audible Delights
I decided to reinstate my Audible subscription after enjoying several audiobooks over the lock period. I love reading books, but when I’m too exhausted for to read, audiobooks are a great alternative. The first audiobooks I ever listened to were the first four instalments of the Harry Potter series by J.K Rowling, which were read out by Stephen Fry. I borrowed them from the library as a child and listened to them all on cassette players. This was before the fifth book was out, so I never got round to listening to the last three.

My Top Five classic book recommendations, and why everyone should read them
My father is an avid reader. He instilled this love for books in most of us kids. Of the hundreds, likely thousands, of books I have read there are some that stuck with me on the deepest of levels. Reading allows us to enter worlds we could never have dreamed of. Books put us in dynamic situations that leave us on the edge of our seats. Sometimes, we find ourselves screaming to the characters as they enter dangerous territories or unforeseen tragedies. We have all watched a movie and cried tears of happiness, fear, or despair. But, a book my friends, a good book requires that we create these worlds inside ourselves and live them as if we are there. Don't be fooled by these titles. Some of these books will challenge everything you believed about humanity. Here are my top five, life-changing books, that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Enjoy.

Flicker: Light of a Lantern
The origin for Flicker began with consideration of the concept, "Darkness cannot push out darkness, only light can do that," so poetically placed into action by the example of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. If the resolution to a problem requires a shift in consciousness from the consciousness that created the problem," as poetically presented by Albert Einstein, I wondered what metaphorical and mythic characters would shape such a story, what kind of adventure would they go on, and how would they change and evolve? To my surprise, it was a humble lightning bug who came to speak with me.
