\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

True crime goes international in this next installment in Femi Kayode\u2019s Philip Taiwo crime series, which debuted with Lightseekers <\/em>in 2021. Gaslight<\/em> picks up when investigative psychologist Philip Taiwo returns from the United States to Nigeria along with his family. His investigation begins at a Nigerian megachurch where Taiwo\u2019s sister asks him to investigate a case involving the bishop of the church and the wife he is accused of having murdered. Although a body has yet to be found and the mystery is on, all the fingers point to Bishop Dawodu.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Remarried Empress<\/em> Vol. 1 <\/strong>from Alphatart<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You\u2019re not an official geek until you\u2019ve added manga to your reading list. Whether you\u2019re a dedicated manga fan or new to the genre, you should know that manga is filled with creative animation designed to tell a story primarily through graphic expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listed as one of the best books of 2022 by Barnes & Noble, The Remarried Empress<\/em> follows Empress Navier and Emperor Sovieshu, who are perfect for each other. Serving as the pillars of the land, the public believes the two share a ride-or-die relationship. This relationship appears as strong as can be until the emperor stumbles upon a woman in the forest and ends up developing feelings of attraction. With the determination to not be broken in spirit, Empress Navier makes it her life mission to remarry a man of her liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Draw Anime Characters<\/em> from Fluffels House<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you thought crafty books were just limited to cookbooks, think again. If you\u2019re not the type of reader to dedicate time to reading a longer narrative and prefer novellas and other short reads, you can find the same enjoyment in a how-to book. Many manga<\/a> readers are just as fascinated by the graphics as they are with the story itself. With only a few words and killer animation, they can be vividly creative. Ever wonder how animation starts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A how-to draw book can take you through the process.

Released in early 2023, this book is ideal for teens and adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divine Rivals: A Novel <\/em>by Rebecca Ross<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Finally, we can\u2019t end an official gift guide for geeks without adding fantasy fiction to the list. With a large number of engaging fantasy fiction and sci-fi books on the market, choosing the right type of story can often feel overwhelming. Sci-fi books are often filled with complex themes that can be difficult to grasp. This is when fantasy novels come into play. Whether you\u2019re a novice fantasy reader or have an avid interest in the genre, Rebecca Ross\u2019s Divine Rivals<\/em> is a must-read. A first in a newly developed series, Divine Rivals<\/em>: A Novel<\/em> focuses on two young journalists finding love through a magical connection. While fighting for this love, protagonist Iris must fight for her brother and ultimately the fate of all humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
