Recos Corner: April Books

I have a bit of an issue with buying books… and because I moved so much in the 16 months, I have quite a few books that have literally travelled the globe (from North America to Europe to Asia). I also have a habit of starting a book and somewhat abandon them, not because they are not good, but simply because I get easily distracted.

Since I am going to travel so much in the up coming year, I decided to finish as many books as possible in January. Recos Corner will include both reading and audio books, and I will try to stay away from the synopsis of book as those can easily be google-able. I like to a variety of different genres of books and will try to offer a few options for the monthly recommendation.

This month’s theme: April Fools

Born a Crime

Trevor Noah

In honour of April Fools, I bring you a book on a Comedian’s life. This is actually not a comedic book but a very real autobiography on Trevor Noah’s life. I listened to the audiobook version of the book and having Trevor Noah narrate the book is simply a pleasure. After listening to his story, I recommend it to everyone I know and it has taught me a world that I never knew or ever understood.

The Trouble with Women

Jacky Fleming

This one is actually a funny one (fyi - my sense of humour is also very satirical). It was my going away present from one of my dearest friends, and when I crack it open it was just very sarcastic view on history - especially women’s history. For those who don’t enjoy humour or feminism … this might not be a good choice for you.
