MUST KNOW: BOOKSHY
I am absolutely loving this blog. When I visit, I just want to read more and more books. Bookshy is a lover of books and has used her blog as a great platform to promote African literature. Like me she grew up on Famous Five (I was hooked on everything Enid Blyton....Secret Seven anyone) and Babysitter's club. In a recent post, she highlighted what is apparently a popular French comic following the misadventures of a naughty West African girl called Akissi (my life, no lie I had that hairstyle!!). This comic has finally been published in English, but I want a copy in every language for every little or grown girl I know.
Check out Akissi and definitely bookmark Bookshy as well as her AfricanBookCover tumblr for more great reads from the continent.
