There is more to African Crime Fiction than Alexander McCall Smith's No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Across the continent there are some amazing African crime writers such as Malla Nunn, Kwei Quartey and Deon Meyer, so I thought I'd showcase some of them.
Founded in 2011, bookshy represents two things: the young me who was so shy I escaped through books, and the older me whose shelf is always one book shy of being full.
bookshy is a space where I celebrate, promote and recognise contemporary African literature - although sometimes I go back in time to commemorate the greats. It is about the books I love, the books I have read and the books that I am dying to read.
