My oh my: a little book with a big punch (Reader’s Choice)

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

November 15, 2020 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

HOLY GUACAMOLE THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD. Like, so so good. I heard a lot of good things, but it was so little an unassuming it sat on my bookshelf for over a month, having snagged it from the library. The cover is intriguing, with its big bold green font, but I figured I’d get around to it. Well, one night about 20 minutes before I wanted to be asleep I figured eh, I’ll crack this one open. One hour and half of the book […]

Breaking Up is Hard to Do…Especially When You Kill Him

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

June 30, 2020 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was not what I expected at all. Based on the title, I was expecting much more of a thriller/mystery novel. Yes, there is an element of mystery, but this is much more a general literary fiction novel, than anything else. Maybe this is why I wasn’t as invested in the book as I had expected. I did listen to it on audio and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the […]

Having a Sister Sounds “Fun”

My Sister, the Serial Killer: A Novel by Oyinkan Braithwaite

January 3, 2020 by Melina 1 Comment

I received this book from the lovely Katie for our holiday book exchange. It’s been on my list for awhile but I  hadn’t gotten around to it.  Until yesterday.  Yesterday I sat and read the entire book, it’s a very fun read…which seems like a weird thing to say if you found out that your beloved sister is a 5’2″ gorgeous dynamo of a serial killer, possessing a very large knife to commit her crimes.  Luckily for Ayoola (the serial killer), her older less attractive […]

Some Sisterly Murder

My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

August 10, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 13 (Pajiba) I noticed recently that this novel could actually qualify for several different squares, but I’ll be using it for Pajiba, where a review was posted 1/24/2019. I’ve had my eye on the title for a while although I’m not quite sure where I first heard about it. I’m not sure what exactly what I was expecting, but I didn’t get it, not even close. I was not really expecting to enjoy this, firstly because it’s contemporary literary fiction, and secondly it’s written […]

Psycho killer, qu’est que c’est?

My Sister, The Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite

August 10, 2019 by TheShitWizard Leave a Comment

I’ve been eyeing this one jealously every time I see it perched on my mum’s armchair, which she thankfully noticed and so passed it on as soon as she finished. This didn’t take long – it’s a super quick read which I nailed in one morning in bed, and I could have easily read much more of it. Korede has spent her life protecting her little sister. Beautiful and charming, Ayoola needed a lot of protection when younger – from their abusive father and from […]
