Spare Copies Giveaway! All the books goes to one random lucky person 🎉 p.s. it’s also my 200th post 🎉

Any book especially ones that fall under Young Adult that features Nigerians instantly captures my attention, but Like Home itself is a book that is easy to gobble up in one sitting because it opens your eyes and mind to many issues such as gentrification, how the media comes into play, activism, economic status and what change means.

After reading The Gilded Ones, I won’t say I consider it Young Adult fiction, that tag is so limiting, because it implies the target audience for the book are young but the reality is it’s fiction for all. One young girls and women of all ages can relate to.

I finished reading Ten Rules For Faking It by Sophie Sullivan yesterday! I’ll get to the review soon but I’ve got to say I feel so good because for the first time ever—I read the books I set out to read for the month!!!

I love the story this picture tells. To me it’s showing Benz, my precious doggo who looks like he wants to sleep and how the cover of Vaults of Secrets is telling everyone to keep quiet in order not to disturb him 🥺

QOTD - Do you read books full of trauma? I do, but I can only take so much. I read them though because it’s important and reminds me to be more empathetic towards others.

Happy New Year! The first thing that drew me to With the Fire on High was it's cover, I instantly fell for it, it's so beautiful. Looking at it filled me with limitless joy, I knew I had to get it without giving any attention to the blurb. While I was salivating at getting myself a copy, I had yet to read Poet X, all I was going on was the assurance my fellow reading friends only raved about Acevedo's storytelling and how magnificent it is, and now after I have read both Poet X and With the Fire on High, I can comfortably agree with them 100%.

Guess who has a new book coming out in ten days? Meeee!
