I’ve been collecting books for a few years now and I keep adding some more every time I encounter titles that tickles my curiosity. So after a lot of failed attempts doing a yearly Book Challenge, I finally had a good start this year and finished my 10th book last week, Yey for me!

It’s been exactly one month today when she took her last breathe and left us. It’s been 3 years since we found out that my mother has a Stage 4 breast cancer and while we tried our best to convince her to get treated, she refused. I remember crying out of frustration because of her maddening stubbornness.

We may not be celebrities but if you’re a single woman or a wife in a childless marriage, then take some time to read this because it’s worth your time.
