We seem to have our knickers in a twist with these 2 books! In this episode, Olamide and I review 2 completely different books across 2 genres.

The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden was our March pick, to fit with our 'suspense' theme. Was it suspenseful? And is this one of our recommended reads? Listen to find out!

One Day by David Nicholls was meant to be a feel good, romantic palette cleanser for two busy mums who just wanted an easy enough read. If only wishes were horses eh? This book had us divided and very much in our feels.

If you would like to join us on our reading journey, why not read along with us? The theme for April was Personal Development. Current reads include: Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck and Financial Joy by Ken and Mary Okoroafor.

Busy Black Mums Do Read

A podcast for Busy Black Mums who love to read, and want to up their reading game. We discuss books, recommendations and other random life stuff.
Us Mums have a lot on our plate. We know that. How many tines have you started reading a book, or wanted to read a book, but just never got round to doing it because you had one million and one other things to do? Along with other mums, we challenge the assumption that as busy mums (and especially busy black mums), reading (and enjoying ourselves) is something we have to sacrifice in order to cope with the demands life throws at us.
