Reading the comprehension passages in English textbooks then was so sweet! I did so even up till SS3 😂. I used Lantern books in primary school and I can still remember "Tunde's birthday party and the citizen's parrot". Then, my mom used to buy me those Ben Akponine Samuel kinda books and I hated step-mothers and kings like die. Pacesetters' Forgive me, Maryam will always be in my head. I think that was the first serious book I read asides the "childish" ones. I love reading tooo and I'm slowly initiating my friends and when they ask me why I read a lot, I tell them they haven't met Riri 😂❤️.
this feels like the a wrap of my own journey with reading too😄. I've always been a voracious reader, I read everything then, textbooks, magazines and newspapers, most of the books in my dad's library, fairytales, but I think the only thing different for me was that I didn't develop a deeper appreciation for Nigerian stories, until I left secondary school. Reading led me to writing and now these two things have become an important part of my life.
idk... the first books I'll always remember reading are the victims and for mbatha and rabeka. i think i remember these books because they stood out sm for me and i re-read them countless times before jss3 or so... before then, aside from the winnie-de pooh and merlin and pinocchio stories...etc i had read, i was just borrowing my siblings phone to read stories in facebook. like actual fictional stories set in nigeria (they were mostly teen romance) then i knew what wattpad was, and from there... my reading culture was fully taking shape.
This is sooo real, it is like my own journey of reading but written by another person, ohh i remember how i always look forward to visiting my cousin because she has a mini library 🥹,my dad was always buying me books from booksellers,i literally bonded with people because they read😂, I may not like you but if i see you with a book all the hate will vanish🌚🥹
