I loved 'The Monkey House'.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie spoke here last year. Nice post.

More for the "to read" pile; this is a good problem to have.

It's a good thing my TBR queue is virtual, not an actual physical stack of books and stories, or it'd crush me in the next earthquake. *clicks repeatedly to add stories to queue*

Wow, Who Will Greet You at Home is incredibly sad.

Really happy to see Tade Thompson on this list. He's a really great guy—I published his short story "Bicycle Girl" as an ebook last year (Amazon; Kobo; Novel Depot; Weightless). Hope it's not too self-serving to post these links (I make almost nothing off them). It's just a really fun story.
