"You need to be shameless about the way you read. Read all the things, even things that you think that you shouldn't read. Don't be afraid to read things that are controversial. Don't be afraid to read things that will shake you and will shake your faith." — @chemelumadu.

The Nigerian poet (@_Snowburl) shows perplexities with measured control and composure—a detached storyteller with the simple yet daring assignment of pointing “humanity to the loss of itself.”

The #RHxOCMxNigeriaBestsellerList is a major marketing tool for the literary industry, perhaps the most important yet.

"Lost in thoughts, a sylph with a voice full of soft gentle wind,
Appears like an oasis amidst a waterless odyssey.
My heartbeats become the thunder of horses’ hooves."

Not me waking up at 6am, walking 10 km, getting dress and driving to work, only to find that it’s Sunday today.

I even wore my Romanian blouse in solidarity with Rares's family who lost one of their beloved pets last night.

Been laughing at myself all morning. 😂

[Dr Helen Moffett @Heckitty]

After four long, blank years of #LongCovid, I didn't think I'd ever see a book with my name on the cover again. Thanks to the team members (and esp Rachel + Karina) for trusting me with this wonderful project. Kudos to all the gifted writers! I learnt from you all.

It's my birthday today and even though I was so excited for it last night, I woke up entirely gloomy and bland.

Anyway, please support my MFA relocation campaign by donating to and sharing my GoFundMe: https://t.co/tqgotcuOA6
