  28. OMG. This just brought back memories. I love love love to read, mostly works of fiction though but still I try!

    I was in commercial class back in secondary school but I took literature classes cos of my love for books. Won the best in literature prize twice😊😊.(Let me blow my trumpet abeg) People never let me read the title of whatever novel they were holding cos from 'let me see the name', it's until I'm done reading the novel o.😆😆.

    Our African authors are talented sha. I like Ngugi wa Thiong'o, he was/is my favourite East African author. I began to understand the similarities in African cultures from reading his works.
    I really like posts like this, it makes me nostalgic.😑😑
