Campus Diaries by J. B Omukangala
This is a bare tale of life on campus where many students finally get the chance to swim in freedom as adults. This book explores sexual relationships amongst students and between students and workers within or around the institutions.
For instance, Richi suddenly becomes a fearless philanderer after joining campus. He enters into many short relationships with the sole purpose of exploring girls sexually. He ends up marrying Kajuju, a woman who was just preying on him unaware that he was the real predator. However, he doesn't stop being a philanderer; he impregnates a first-year student at KIMC and vanishes. He also rekindles his illicit relationship with NyarSiaya, a married woman who was once his girlfriend on campus.
Some, like Bobo, are saved but also want to enjoy being laid regularly. Since serving two masters is difficult, they choose what is easier, exciting and enjoyable, thus leaving the altar for clubs and dingy rooms. This doesn’t have a happy ending as some of them end up pregnant, addicted to drugs or seriously heartbroken for having high expectations and being too ambitious.
The dating scene at campus is dominated by emotions, temporary excitements and curiosity to try new things. Therefore, peer pressure, material possessions and power play a significant role in deciding who dates who and for how long. In this case, one’s character is disregarded or overshadowed by power and material possessions.
Nonetheless, we have students who date with purpose and decorum and end up building families. Others, like Sammy wa Jesus, abstain from sexual relationships and focus on their studies and serving in church. This also pays off for those who genuinely choose to walk the path.
Campus Diaries is a mesmeric novel that will not only make you smile as you watch the characters in action, but will also get you onto several cliffs of pleasure and desires.
Bitter Honey by Khisa Matili
Bitter Honey is an account of love, laughter, pain, and triumph. Nafula is brought up by a caring but overburdened mother. Her father who is a policeman is always absent from home. She encounters Kim, and she is dying for his love. She even tricks him into confessing his love for her. When they join the University, she gets to learn from the world and chooses to get a ‘man’ for herself just like Njeri, her friend. Kim finds out and acts out of anger by jumping down from the third floor of a storey building. He didn’t want to live, only to be humiliated by a man old enough to be his father who was competing with him for love! Kim’s tragic jump leads to the arrest of Nafula and her ‘man’ on suspicion that they were responsible! On the other hand, Nafula’s mother goes on a fact-finding mission and she discovers that her husband, Bwire, has married another wife, Sofia, and impregnated Sofia’s younger sister Halima, who is a schoolgirl. Halima loses her life after Bwire tries to facilitate an abortion, and so he is on the run to avoid arrest and embarrassment. Indeed, love is so powerful that it can flatten a mountain and blood is thicker than water. Nafula later saves her father and becomes a unifying factor in her family. How she does this when she is happily married is what the reader needs to decipher. What about Kim’s family that is totally poor and had invested all it had in his Education?
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick.
Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases — a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with, and way less experience in the dating department than the average thirty-year-old.
It doesn't help that Stella has Asperger's and French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. Her conclusion: she needs lots of practice — with a professional. Which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.
The Vietnamese and Swedish stunner can't afford to turn down Stella's offer, and agrees to help her check off all the boxes on her lesson plan — from foreplay to more-than-missionary position.
Before long, Stella not only learns to appreciate his kisses, but to crave all the other things he's making her feel. Soon, their no-nonsense partnership starts making a strange kind of sense. And the pattern that emerges will convince Stella that love is the best kind of logic.

My sick and Lame by Mirigo Kinyanjui

A Taste of Honey: Sexuality and Eroto...
A Taste of Honey provides a scholarly exposition on the prominent place that sexuality and erotology enjoyed in traditional Islam. The book is divided into two parts; part one presents a critical examination of sexual ethics and part two consists of a concise treatise on the art of seduction and lovemaking.
The central aim of the book argues that Islam is a sexually enlightened religion which teaches that sensuality should not be devoid of spirituality.
The book also argues that the loss of sacred sensuality afflicting modern society can be reclaimed by a revival of the classic erotological tradition.
Drawing upon the Qur'an, Hadith and traditional erotological literature, the book follows the style and composition of classic Eastern and Afro-Arab love texts like the Kama Sutra and Jalal ad-Din as-Suyuti's erotic treatises.
A Taste of Honey is a thought-provoking work on a highly sensitive, yet extremely important subject.
