QUESTIONS FOR ME

What was that defining moment that made you start your blog?

I just wanted to find a way to let my voice and opinion be heard and I felt that the safest and best outlet was to do it via a blog. I was unable to read a lot as a child because of certain circumstance but I found my love for reading a few years ago and I have not been able to stop, which is one of the reasons I decided to start a book blog.

Have you ever worked a 9-5 job (excluding blogging)? What do you feel about it?

Yes, I have, I am currently working on my Master’s dissertation and a year before that, I worked as a research and teaching assistant and I loved it. I had to do a lot of overtime but I love to research.

What is your most memorable travel tale?

After my BSc. I took a 6 months break and traveled the united states and at the end of the program I went on a tour bus with my friends and we had a blast eating different foods from across the globe. It was so much fun and I just wish that things can just go back to normal

Of the places, you traveled where did you find the friendliest home-landers?

I spent one year for my compulsory national youth service in another state and

What is your favorite color and why?

White is my favorite color, however, these days I am loving Purple and there is no reason for color.

Do you have special talents other than writing?

I love painting but I would not say that I am a good painter but at least I try. I love acting

Are you a summer, winter, spring, or fall person?

I lived most of my life in Nigeria and we don’t have distinct seasons and everything is either wet or dusty. I have been in the UK for almost 3 seasons and I think I enjoy the winter more.

Who is your all-time favorite author?

I go back and forth between Sabaa Tahir and Neal Schusterman

Who is your all-time favorite fictional character?

Laia from An Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa Tahir

People say that money cannot buy happiness, but can you ever be truly happy without any money?

I just think that people who say ‘money cannot buy happiness” are people who have a lot of money. If you have none then you will understand how important money is and the type of happiness it can buy.

Do you believe in such a thing as luck? why or why not?

I am very religious and as much as I pray for things. I have learned to accept that what would be would be.
