#bookreview GUYSSSSS! This book is absolutely hilarious! 🤣😂😂 (The last slide killed me😂) Like you actually have to read it so you can laugh your head off. Of course, when I picked it up, my first thought was that it reminded me of Elnathan John’s Becoming Nigerian. Funny enough, that was a safe conclusion because there were some similarities in both books. Maybe it was Elnathan’s inspiration for his book(just thinking out loud). It’s crazy how this book was written in 1966 but is still so relatable (in some cases, unfortunately) to the average Nigerian. Just shows the Nigerian blood is strong through generations!😂 it’s said that you can tell a Nigerian from afar, and I agree! While there were some parts I couldn’t quite relate to because of the era in which it was written, it was an enjoyable and easy read. #bookreview #bookaholic #bookstgram #nigerianbooks #howtobeanigerian #nigerianauthors #racheleyo

One of my favorite moments of the month is when I get to sit down with these amazing people of @thereadershubng_ and talk about whatever book we’ve read for that month. I love learning from them and seeing new perspectives on books that I love; in ways that I would have never seen. It really is amazing what you can learn through the eyes of another person. BTW, for those of you that ask, I do have a social life. I just love books more! #booklovers #thereadershubng #abujabokkclub #racheleyo

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. – James Allen I’m learning that one of the most important lessons you can ever learn is how to keep calm in every situation that life throws at you. It’s easy to get emotionally worked up and upset about things as they happen. We forget to remain calm and find solutions to challenges as they present themselves. In certain moments, it feels like the world is over and there’s no way out. Think about it for a second: how many times have you been in situations where it seemed like there was no way out, only to overcome that situation, look back and smile at how much time and emotions were wasted fretting and panicking instead of going straight to solutions? A good question that can be asked in the panicky times is “what is the worst that can happen here?” and then work your way up from there. Remember, our worst fears are simply just that; our worst fears. Keep calm. Trust God. Arrive at solutions. You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you - Isaiah 26:3 #inspiration #keepcalm #racheleyo #personalblog #fears

This year was not all bad. There might have been some minor wins that you had this year, even if the only one might be approaching the year end alive. Count them. There were also some major significant wins this year. Wins that if you looked back on, you’d be grateful for. Count them as well. It’s easy to forget the good and focus on what did not go right this year. However, count those wins and remain grateful but hungry to do more. You can make a quick gratitude list mentally or on paper. Write down five things you’re thankful for and remain grateful. #soulsundays #inspiration #motivation #racheleyo

October 2019. You may not be feeling those ground-breaking, self-achieving goals you set towards the end of 2018 or at the beginning of 2019.

Lennie awoke with a sudden jerk. He glanced around nervously. There was something different about this Tuesday morning. He could not tell what it was, but he could feel it. Something was certainly off. With sleepy eyes, Lennie reached for his prescription glasses which he had placed carefully on his bed side table the previous night. He felt there was something weird about his hands but needed to reach his glasses so he could see clearly. His morning mind swung into action as his mental to-do list popped into his head. There was an important negotiation meeting with his project supervisor and a client who had flown from Sydney the previous night. There was his laundry he had to pick up from the drycleaners, he had to call his sister to check in on his nephew who had been down with the flu for some days, he had to pick up his business cards from the printer and remind the cleaning lady to stop by later in the evening…the damn cleaning lady who seemed to be costing him more than he bargained for. She had broken another valuable porcelain piece in his house last week. Of course, she had apologised profusely while crying and promising it would never happen again. Lennie put on his glasses but realized he didn’t need to. His vision became blurry as he wore them. Strange. He took them off; perfect vision. Put them back on; blurry. Okay, what was going on? Lennie’s heart began to race. He whipped the duvet off from him and threw his legs off the side of the king-sized bed. He stared at his legs and toes. Why did they appear smaller? And why did the bed seem bigger? Lennie’s face broke out in a sweat. His eyes must definitely be messing with him. He walked to the full-length mirror in the corner of his room. Why was it taking forever to get to the damn mirror? It would usually take him about four or five strides to reach it. Plus, why did the ceiling seem so far up? And why was the room extraordinarily chilly? As Lennie approached the mirror, his eyes widened in horror as he stared back at his reflection. He let out a silent gasp, for staring back at Lennie, a confident 34-year old man in his prime, was a naked two-year old toddler. #satayaafricashortstory

#bookreview ARRRGHHHHH GUYYYSSSSS! I LOVED THIS BOOOOOOK!! No spoilers here because we don’t do spoilers. ...And to think I was randomly gifted this book not too long ago? I do not know if I would have come across it if it had not been a gift. How have I not stumbled on Sefi Atta's work until now though????? *wails in French*. Anyway, better late than never. I was immediately drawn to the first few pages of this book for a number of reasons. First, it is set in Lagos, a city that will forever have my heart. Some parts of the book are set in Lagos Island where I grew up and instantly connected to, so I had no problems with conceiving images in my head of the different scenarios the author effortlessly painted. Second... To read more of this juicy review and see what score I gave it, click the link in my bio! #bookstagram #booklover #nigerianbooks #bookreview #sefiatta #swallow
