I will read it.

Books give me life;Like medicine on paper. I discover them daily-an introverted thrill-seeker. Contemporary fiction,Words with sweet diction. Nigerian booksGrip on to my heart, If Adichie's the Author,It's a 5 star before I start. Reading heals me,Like a river,Words flow towards me.

Falter.

Trying to be a trailblazerwith an introverted character, Can feel like setting fireto a large body of water.
