On Rotation aka "What is Romance?"

Hello Everyone! Thank you for tuning in to Episode 4 of Season 3 of Semiscribbled Podcast. In this episode, I am falling into romance...get it? Lol. I talk about On Rotation: A Novel by Shirlene Obuobi. 2022 has been a rough year and I was looking for an escape from the usual tough, hard, challenging themes that this book delivered. It also goes with my own personal theme of the year on building community and working with a love ethic. The other themes: first-born African daughters who are raised to overachieve, discover themselves, freeing themselves from expectations are found within this book and were the perfect recipe for me. Also, what the avid romance readers and avid readers call spice was plenty! I recommend this read as we ease into the last quarter of this year.  The something-to-note section is also full of what I've been doing out and about Nairobi to do with books!  Clips from this section are from a) 2022 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction, b) Idza Luhumyo wins the Caine Prize 2022, and c) Macondo Literary Festival. Our editing maestro is THE Tevin Sudi.
