I’m a mood reader… but I also love a good plan. So for early spring, I’ve put together a TBR that tries to balance both sides of my reading personality.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the books I’m hoping to read in March and April from powerful literary fiction and memoirs to thought-provoking nonfiction, book club picks, and a few reads that are completely outside my comfort zone.
I’m making a conscious effort to diversify my reading this time across genres, voices, and perspectives while still leaving room for curiosity and mood reading. Expect authors like Bernardine Evaristo, Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and more.
We’ll talk about:
• why I plan my reading (even as a mood reader)
• the books I’m most excited about this spring
• book club reads and how they shape my TBR
• and how I’m trying to read more intentionallyIf you’re also planning your spring reading or trying to this episode is for you.

In this episode of the One More Book Podcast, I share my February reading wrap-up and reflect on a very full month filled with Black History Month events, community gatherings in Hamburg and plenty of reading.
After a packed schedule and attending multiple inspiring events, I realised just how important it is to slow down, rest, and reconnect with creativity. In this honest and reflective episode, I talk about burnout, taking a break from social media, and how returning to books help me recharge.
Of course, I also dive into the books that I read in February, share my thoughts, and give a glimpse into what I'm excited to read next in March.
If you love book discussions, reading wrap-ups, reflective conversations about creativity, and bookish life updates, this episode is for you.
Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s talk books. 📚

In this episode, I’m joined by Kenyan ecologist and author Dr. Mordecai Ogada, co-author of The Big Conservation Lie and author of Green and Evil. We talk about conservation as an industry, carbon offsets as financial tools, and how land, labour, and power are quietly extracted from local communities in the name of ''saving nature''.

Turning 40 changes everything — especially the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the expectations the world keeps putting on women. In this episode of the One More Book Podcast, I sit down with my lifelong friend Pie to talk about what truly shifts when you enter your forties: the bold “no”, the freedom from external opinions, the unexpected joy of dating yourself, and the reality of dating in your 40s.
We talk about the myths we grew up with, the pressure women still face, and why so many of us learn to choose peace over people-pleasing. Pie also shares a refreshingly honest look at single motherhood, financial independence, emotional boundaries, and why travelling with your child might be the most empowering therapy there is.

Join us for a special and deeply personal episode as we pause to honor the life and immense legacy of the late Raila Odinga, one of Kenya's most formidable and enduring political figures.
We connect with our guest, Leonard, who joins us directly from Kenya to give us an intimate, on-the-ground report. What is the mood like in the country right now? How are ordinary citizens processing the passing of the man known to many simply as 'Baba'?
In this episode, we discuss the profound significance of his death to Kenya as a whole, reflecting on his decades-long fight for democracy, multiparty politics, and social justice. Tune in for an insightful conversation about his enduring influence, his impact on generations of Kenyans, and the uncertain future of the nation's political landscape without him.

Where does a country's memory go when its monuments are gone? In this series, I am unearthing the hidden stories of Kenya's anti-colonial struggle, stories that have been either suppressed or told from an imperialist point of view. Join me as we uncover the forgotten heroes and pivotal places that shaped our nation's history. From the Desai Memorial Hall & Library—the first library to serve all races equally—to the courageous journalists and activists who fought for justice, we’ll explore the narratives that time tried to erase. This is more than history; it's a conversation about what we choose to remember and the power of a single story.

Book Dads: Good, Bad, and Everything In Between
In today's episode, I am taking a fascinating dive into the multifaceted world of fatherhood as depicted across the literary landscape. From the classic novels that shaped our understanding of paternal figures to the raw, honest memoirs of modern dads, we'll explore how writers capture the complexities, joys, and challenges of being a father.
Whether you're a long-time reader, a dad yourself, or simply curious about human relationships and societal roles, this conversation offers a unique lens through which to view one of life's most foundational bonds.
In this episode, I discuss:
1. Traditional Father Figures
Often seen in older literature, traditional fathers are characterized by authority, discipline, and distance. They serve as providers and protectors but are emotionally reserved.
2. Absent or Failed Fathers
Many literary works explore the absence—either physical or emotional—of fathers and the resulting impact on children and families.
3. Nurturing Fathers
These fathers break the traditional mold by being emotionally available and nurturing. They're often seen in contemporary literature.
4. Flawed but Redeemable Fathers
These characters often struggle with personal demons but seek redemption through their relationship with their children.
5. Symbolic or Surrogate Fathers
Sometimes fatherhood is represented symbolically, or through mentors and guardians who fulfill paternal roles.
6. Modern and Subversive Portrayals
Contemporary literature increasingly explores nontraditional families, queer fatherhood, and critiques of patriarchal roles.Join me for a thought-provoking discussion that might just change the way you look at the fathers in your favorite books – and perhaps even in your own life.

This week in the guest chair we have Chitra Nagarajan, an author, adviser, facilitator, climate activist and researcher focusing on conflict, building peace, and defending human rights.
In this episode she shares about:
*Her newest book THE WORLD WAS IN OUR HANDS which is coming out on the 22nd of April, 2025. A moving, often provocative, and ultimately vital collection of first hand accounts of people living through the Boko Haram conflict.
*Other themes like patriachy, the economy, climate change, corruption & the need to paint a much broader picture of the conflict than what has been captured through news coverage.
*Her favourite books & what gives her hope right now.
