Reading this made me smile for long. I smiled so hard that it brought teardrops I couldn’t control.
From reading Ade our naughty little brother, Sugar Girl, Ifeanyi and Obi, Koku Baboni, Chike and the river, Eze goes to school... I can indeed agree that reading books is a great escape from reality. Remembering how it felt like for a girl whose mum had a bookshop with the access to multitudes of these African books are something I'll forever be grateful for.
There's so much joy in reading books. Too many. And really, I can relate that I forget the time and forget to eat whenever I'm deeply engrossed in a good book.
But, but, when I realize that some people would have been better lovers of books than I would ever be, but don't have access to education, it breaks my heart.
You've got a beautiful style of writing coupled with intellectual creativity. Well done. Looking forward to receiving more awesome newsletters from your end.
