Allow me to re introduce myself!

Hi, I’m Summie. 🤎

Reader. Writer. Book lover. Book influencer.

I’m here to talk about books, stories, writing, and everything in between.

If you love good stories, you’re in the right place.

@Tsitati_George Congratulations George 💃💃💃💃

Give yourself the freedom to become a beginner again. Take that photography class, learn a new language, explore a musical instrument or study a subject that has always fascinated you. You don't need to master everything you try. The experience of learning is rewarding enough.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

Listen to people when they speak. Understand what they are communicating. Pay attention to how they structure their thoughts, the examples they use, and what they struggle to explain. Good communication involves more than having something to say.

@ThebookishC Thank you 🙂❤️🤭

I made a post about needing a microphone, and I got it! I am so happy and overwhelmed by this kindness.

We are taking this book content creation thing seriously!

Next on the list is an iPhone 15. One upgrade at a time. 😌

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

Creating book content in a face-me-I-face-you house without mic is a struggle. Weekends are my only chance to record.

I'm looking for a microphone to support my book content journey. If any brand or kind-hearted person would love to gift or sponsor one, I'd be grateful.

Gbam!

Let people read what they want to read!
I met someone who explained why they enjoy erotica and for the first time, I saw the genre in a different light.
Please stop gatekeeping. Reading more is the goal!

@theSacchie Nah me dey hot😭😭

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

@Briellefine Exactly!!!!!
Like you don't have to be a reader like me. It is totally okay to be a reader. Just have something of interest.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

If you're trying to toast me, please don't suddenly become a reader. You don't have to tell me you've always wanted to discuss literature or that you're looking for someone to recommend books. Just come as you are. I won't reject you for not knowing who Akwaeke Emezi is.

Words that describe feelings we struggle to explain

Sonder – Realising everyone has a life as complex as yours.
Limerence – An obsessive romantic attraction.
Melancholy – A deep, thoughtful sadness.
Nostalgia – A longing for the past.
Solitude – The state of being alone.

One day I'll book that flight to Edinburgh. 🤞

Edinburg, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

Acts of service. Paying attention to the little things and choosing to make your life easier without being asked.

Handwritten notes and books. I love knowing someone thought of me when I wasn't in the room.

I got this book you wanted!!!!

Let’s talk about love languages. What’s your favorite one to receive?

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

Whenever you encounter a word you don't understand, look it up. Write down its meaning and, if possible, the sentence in which you found it. You will gradually build your vocabulary, and you might be surprised by how often those words appear in other books.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

You don't need three free hours to become a reader. Start with 10 or 15 minutes. Read while waiting for an appointment, during your commute, or before bed. Small reading sessions add up, and consistency is more useful than waiting for the perfect reading environment.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

If you have been struggling to read, try short stories. You get to experience a complete story without committing to 300 pages. It is also a wonderful way to discover new authors.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

If you write fiction, read poetry. If you write essays, read memoirs. If you write poetry, explore literary criticism. Different writers have different ways of approaching language, imagery, rhythm and storytelling. Exposing yourself to differences can improve your own writing.

I want to meet people who have their own little worlds. People who can introduce me to music I've never heard, tell me stories I've never encountered and get ridiculously excited about things I know nothing about.

Let's connect

@Ifenimiii Thank you Ifenimi

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

And so I continue to write, although I have never been entirely certain what I am trying to accomplish. Perhaps I am leaving little accounts of my existence for a future self who may one day require proof that I was here, paying attention.

[Summie's write @RuthSummie]

I like the idea that writing can be both an act of observation and an attempt at understanding. We spend so much of our lives experiencing things we cannot fully explain. Putting them into words is one way of getting closer to understanding them.
