It is with great pleasure I introduce a new collection of short stories from author, Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko!
Day 10:
This is the tenth day of my ten days tour.
The Clue:
Below are the titles of the stories. If you have read the snippets, try and match them to the titles. Beside each title write the number of the snippet. At the bottom write your name and submit.
*You Will Die If You Scream!
*Is This Love or What?!
*Florence
*The Silent Thief
*Lost in Soho
*Simple Things of Life
*The Break-In
*Wedged-In
*Girls’ Talk
The Rules:
I have randomly chosen a short snippet from a story in my book for you to read each day of my tour. Today, I have listed the titles of the stories from where the snippets were taken. Match the snippets to the titles. Once again, I will choose only three winners from the correct matches. The winner with nine correct matches will be gifted with a $15 Amazon gift card and an eBook copy of your choice from any of my books. The second with eight correct matches will be gifted with a $10 Amazon gift card and an eBook copy of your choice from my books. The third winner with seven correct matches will be with gifted a $5. Amazon gift card and an eBook copy of your choice from my books.
Now the catch! If you follow the tour and read the snippets, you may want to read the complete stories and leave a review of the book after the tour.
This tour is supported by another of my books; Pregnant Future. If you want to read that one too, that will be great. However, the focus will be on Vagaries of Life: And Girls’ Talk. Good reading!

In Pregnant Future: No One Knows What Tomorrow Will Bring, her latest Novel, Justina is the story of every young woman who found herself alone in the world to fend for herself. It is the story of the pitfalls that await such a woman. It is the story of survival
Her latest book, A collection of Short Stories, titled: Vagaries of Life: And Girls’ Talk was published in December, 2018.
Pregnant Future – Blurb
Justina was a fighter. And, although it seemed the world was against her and her future was destined for failure …she persevered in the face of it all.
The future that was being thrown in her face, was not the one she had dreams of …and if she wanted to get her feet on the right path, she was going to have to show the world her strength. But, does she?
Will she have the will to make it to the end, unscarred?
What would you do if you knew what the future had in store for you?
Would you run towards it with open arms, or would you run away and never look back?
Justina must make a choice …before life chooses for her.

Joy, did you give instructions as to where to turn in our answers? How much time do we have?
LikeLike
No, Shirley, I did not say where to turn in the answers. I assumed it will be okay to send it to me directly, to my email address; Jinlobify@Yahoo.Com. I also assumed that submissions should close a week after the tour to give those participating time to read the book.
