    I really liked the two novels of hers that I read -- Half a Yellow Sun and Americanah. I'm sure I would like this story. I want to read more of her books.

    I've had Americanah on the TBR shelf for much too long. I got it for a challenge, but then never read it. You've inspired me to go dig it out and give it a try.
    Hope you have a good weekend.

    Both of those quotes were pretty melancholy. They set a tone that makes me wonder if I would be able to get through the book or not.

    I loved both Half a Yellow Sun and Purple Hibiscus, so I really want to read Zikora. I love Adichie’s writing.

    I've been hoping to read something by Chimamanda, but still haven't gotten around to it. I'm really intrigued by these quotes though! The phrase 'eloquent eyes' is brilliant. Thanks for hosting and have a lovely weekend :)

Scooby Doo: The Sword And The Scoob

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
