Reads, Recs & Reviews is a podcast for every reader and anyone looking to read wide, read more and find joy in reading. Chiamaka the Bookish Igbo Girl will be sharing reviews of books she's currently reading, reading excerpts from books and sharing book recommendations. Sometimes she might chip in a not so bookish news and spice up things a little. Keep an open mind as she would read explicit content from books as well (God give her strength), this is a safe space to relax and have fun.

Ep. 21: Reading | The Sex Lives Of African Women
For today, I'm reading an excerpt from the book; The Sex Lives Of African Women by Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah. This reads more like a memoir which features the stories of several women talking about the sex experiences and how they've been able to come to terms with their sexuality despite societal norms. I hope you enjoy listening to me read this, also leave me a comment if you've read this book.
