Hello, it’s Friday the Thirteenth and it is a wet morning here in Kisumu. I’m on my third cup of instant black coffee and I fear I’ve run out of Nescafe. I came across this book tag on Abigail’s Books blog and it was created by Kate at Girl Reading. It’s the second book tag that fascinates me and so I thought, eh, why not? Let’s do this:
E-book or physical book?
Physical books any time or day, but I do prefer e-books when I am traveling.
Paperback or hardback?

IĀ ā¤Ā online book shopping because of the many recommendations that pop up which always introduces me to a new writer. I am also known to wander off in book stores.

Can we stick to two books? I’ve written a series so here’s the pot calling the kettle black!
