Restaurant Review: Milan

Location: 1000 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21202

Date Visited: Sunday, January 22nd 2012

He and I are fond of going to random places, just for the heck of it. And with the birth of GroupOn and Living Social, experimenting has gotten that much easier. So, sometime last week, he bought a five-course meal coupon from GroupOn for Milan Restaurant. Neither of us had ever eaten there. Two years ago, I was there to honor a friend's birthday dinner invitation, but I was late, so I never ordered anything. Read more

Book Review: A Love Rekindled by Myne Whitman

Let me not lie to you. When I started reading this book, I thought it had a slow start. But I kept reading nonetheless.  Also, I frequently forgot to check the date of the chapter I was reading: 1999 or 2009? And so, I found myself getting a bit confused and having to go back and forth to remember what year the time machine of this book had taken me to. But that didn't last for long at all. Read more

Book Review: Can I Be Real? By Ekene Onu

I've never really read a book like this. But when Ekene Onu gave me her book - even before it hit the market - I was honored [and giddy!]. After answering the question that the title of the book asks, "Can I Be Real?" I attacked the words, head on. Or eyes on.

A book with 82 pages. It's not huge. You can read it all in one sitting, but the lessons, if you let them, will last forever. Ekene writes honestly and passionately in a way that makes her vulnerable, so that you can see right through her. She really shows a different side of her - a woman of great faith and wisdom.  She plays the role of aunty, big sister, friend, confidant, counselor, teacher, and even mommy. It all depends on what you need her for. I liked her as my sister. Read more

Book Review: The Only Way Is Up by Folake Taylor

Relationships, health, spirituality, culture shock, family, career. These are a few of the things that Folake Taylor, MD addresses in her book, The Only Way Is Up. If you know me, even only a little bit, then you'd know that my most interesting chapter was the one about relationships. They [relationships] are so dynamic. So complicated. So intricate. And so, so rewarding --- all things being equal. Read more

Book Review: Oil, Politics, And Violence by Max Siollun

When I got this book, I was terrified. The two hundred and fifty-five pages, the title of the book (Oil, Politics, and Violence), and what seemed like a smaller than normal font that hugged the white pages, it all terrified me. When will I finish this book? The book wasn't about fictional characters with dynamic personalities. It wasn't a book with a plot full of suspense or drama. It was a book based on facts. Political facts. Nigerian political facts. Nigerian political facts on its military coups. Great. Could it get any worse? Read more

Book Review: A Heart To Mend by Myne Whitman

Edward, Edward, Edward. Edward is a character that a lot of women may have met (and probably disliked). He's a man who's got it all: money, looks, some fame --- and an icy cold heart toward love. But somewhere in that icy cold heart is a volcano of love, just waiting to erupt. So, maybe he'd rather fall in love without involving his emotions ... what gives? People don't just become this way. Edward did not just become this way. Somewhere along the line, something happened to him. Read more

Book Review: Feddie Girl by Nona David

Feddie Girl is a book set in U.S.A and Nigeria.  Anyone can read and enjoy this book, but if you went to school in Nigeria, then you really need to read this book.  If you went to a boarding school in Nigeria, you really, really need to read this book.  If you went to an all-girls federal government college in Nigeria, then don't even bother reading this review. Just go ahead and buy the book right now. Read more
