READ | NEVER SEDUCE A SCOT by Maya Banks
I’ve long been a fan of historical romance novels because the sexy quotient is off the chains HOT. Yes, there’s issues with it, but I am here only for the fantasy and romance sometimes we just need a vice to keep us going and historical romances are a vice to a degree. You come without […]

THE SPRING LIST

A land where togetherness is a requisite for admittance, almost. Over […]

LONDON | YAYOI KUSAMA @ VICTORIA MIRO
If there is one artist whose work constantly intrigues in its uniqueness or abstract simplicity it is Yayoi Kusama. It is much more than just dots, it is a seamless manipulation of something so simple which she makes even more remarkable. An astonishing presentation of art that inspires and enchants. Her vivid softness, makes even […]

JAMES BARNOR | ACCRA / LONDON: A RETROSPECTIVE
There are moments in life you want to look back on and hold on to because you will never relive them, but they will always stay with you. The day I saw this retrospective is one of such. It was the day I met not one, but two legends of photography. Not only did I […]
