I& #39;m not the intended TA for this book. If you prefer super light reads, you& #39;d like it though.
18- Pieces & Pieces | Paul Ugbede
Oddly, I enjoyed this collection. I like the storytelling, very... Nigerian. Asides the typos and grammatical errors, it& #39;s is a pretty interesting collection.

My fave story is "Obete Ogbege And His Nine Inches"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ˜‚" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="πŸ‘Œ" title="Ok hand" aria-label="Emoji: Ok hand">

While I appreciate the artistry of this novel, the story did nothing for me. Didn& #39;t enjoy this one.
