  • Yesterday was #worldbookday . How did you celebrate it? I spent the whole day reading academic textbooks for school work, so yeah it wasn't so fun for me. 🌟 It's great that we get a day to celebrate books worldwide. It was also #worldcopyrightsday . To be honest, I didn't know there was a world book day until I became a book blogger 🙈🙈. There seem to be days for everything now. We have women's day, breast cancer awareness day, earth day, world autism awareness day, world braille day, day of sign languages, International dance day, there's even a world sleep day and world laughter day 😀. Just do a Wikipedia search and you will see them all. It's great that we get days to celebrate specific things and raise awareness about them as well. 🌟 So tell me, how's your week going? I've missed you all ❤ #worldbookandcopyrightday #worldbookandcopyrightday2019 #unitedbookstagram #bookstagramnigeria #stackofbooks #uwadisreads #worldbookday2019 #bookstagramtogether
  • “They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.” ― Tom Bodett 🌟 What makes you happy? For me it's a lot of things but I'm going to focus on two now. Books (of course 😉) and my blog which are both represented in this picture. I finally went self-hosted and did a little blog makeover so it's different from what's in the pic. I now officially blog at uwadis.com and you can check out my latest post which is all about why I decided to go self hosted. #linkinbio👉💻 Let me know what you think of the new blog theme 😉. 🌟 So now over to you, what are some of the things that make you happy? Have you read any of the books in the book stack? #bookblogging #bookblogger #bookblog #scifiandfantasy #bookstagrammer #thingsthatmakemehappy #booksandfunkos #booksandlaptop #booksandcandle #enatribe
  • "The sad truth you do not wish to face Magdalene, is that sometimes the ones we call our heroes are the greatest monsters of all" - Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse 🌟 Set in a post apocalyptic future where most of the world has been destroyed. The former Navajo reservation, now called Dinetah still stands and in it gods and monsters roam. Maggie is a monster hunter who is joined on her mission by Kai, a medicine man as she tries to uncover truth behind recent killings and strange monsters. 🌟 First of all I loved this book. This is the first fantasy I'm reading with Native American characters and I want more. Maggie is a badass and you don't want to get on her wrong side but she also has a lot of emotional baggage to deal with. Kai is the pretty boy with the smart mouth at first till he shows you what he can really do. I loved the characters, the setting, so much Navajo culture. My only issue is that in the middle, the plot kind of loses its pacing but it gets better towards the end and the chemistry between Kai and Maggie felt kind of forced. I highly recommend this book to everyone. QOTD: What diverse fantasy book did you read last? 🌟 #readwithuwadis
  • "Penny thought of this Korean saying for when you really, really liked something. You'd say it 'fit your heart exactly.' Sam fit her heart exactly.” ― Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi. 🌟 @thestackspod recently asked in her story what book has a bookstagrammer suggested to you that you loved. For me, since I started book blogging and bookstagramming I've read books that I wouldn't have normally. I've gotten a lot of great recommendation from my fellow #bookstagrammers and here are some of them: 🌟 Emergency Contact - This is such a cute love story and can I just say Penny is me and I am Penny. Thanks @sachireads for making me read this book. Sachi is one of the nicest bookstagrammers out there and she has a really cute dog 🐶. 🌟All Systems Red by Martha Wells - @avalinahsbooks kept raving about it and I was lucky enough to win a giveaway and chose this book as my prize and friends I DID NOT REGRET IT. 🌟Illuminae - I can't really remember who recommended this to me but I constantly see it on Bookstagram and just decided to buy it. I was finally pushed to read it by @insidemylibrarymind and really why did I wait that long to read it. I love love love Kady, she's smart and brave and Aidan too, I mean he's okay for a murderous, confused AI. If you love science fiction set in space, then you should totally check this out 😉😉. 🌟 QOTD: what book has a bookstagrammer suggested to you that you loved? I can't wait to read all your answers. #recommendedreads #emergencycontact #emergencycontactbook #bookstagramtogether #bookandglasses #booknerd #readersofinstagram #mybookfeatures #kimmerbooks
  • "As it fades, I see the truth - in plain sight, yet hidden all along. We are all children of blood and bone. All instruments of vengeance and virtue. This truth holds me close, rocking me like a child in a mother's arms. It binds me in its love as death swallows me in its grasp." - Children of Blood and Bone 🌟 I still haven't read COBAB which is funny cause I was so hyped about it when it came out. I was supposed to buddy read it with @saralovesbooksandteas_ this month but haven't had time and the month is almost over 😢😢. How have you all been and what are you currently reading? Here's a pic I took a while ago for #mapmonday but forgot to post. So I'm posting it now even though it's not Monday because rules are meant to be broken right 😉😉😉 🌟 I was tagged by @dini_bharadwaj to do the #bookishaddiction tag. 📍Currently reading - Sunny and the mysteries of Osisi (Akata Warrior) by Nnedi Okorafor 📍Book you'd like to take on vacation - COBAB (maybe then I would read it 😂 😂) Book made into a good movie: The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien Book I'm adding to my TBR: Not Even Bones by Rebecca Schaeffer. #inflameslit - Magic systems #childrenofbloodandbone #bookstagramtogether #bookstagramnigeria #bookstagramafrica #booknerd #readersofinstagram #booklovers #bookmap

  • Happy Book Birthday to When Trouble Sleeps @leyeadenle . It's out in Nigeria today. #whentroublesleeps is the sequel to Easy Motion Tourist. A lot of bloggers I know have been raving about the Amaka series and I'm eager to read the first book. 🌟 Happy Birthday to Amyn @lipglossmaffia . I always look forward to her reviews, they can be so savage and fun to read. Tomorrow is my birthday btw 😊😊😊 but I'm going to work 😭 🌟 QOTD: what do these two books have in common? I'll randomly chose accounts that answer correctly for a story shout-out. #bookstagramnigeria #bookstagramafrica #bookstagramtogether #flatlay #booksandglasses #lagosnoir #easymotiontourist
  • Do you buy second hand books? 📚 This book was bought for me by my dad from one of the second hand bookshops in Lagos Island, Lagos. I didn't have a lot of books then so I read and reread it and even now I'm itching to reread it. It's about a girl who becomes deaf when her workplace is bombed during WWII, her struggle with living with the disability and the effects of the war on people around her. It has its flaws but I really enjoyed reading it ,she goes through so much and somehow comes out of it all stronger. I'm not even sure this book is still in print cause it's pretty old. I still have this book on my shelf till now and maybe my kids will still meet it there cause it holds so many memories for me. 📚 There is something about old books. The smell, the well worn pages that shows readers before you had held it in their hands, sometimes you even see notes inside or old library cards with names on it and wonder where the previous readers are now. 📚What's the strangest thing you have found in a second hand book? 😁 #secondhandbooks #thesilentwar #unitedbookstagram #flatlay #historicalfiction #historicalbooks #booksaboutgirls #latenightmusings #booksandwhite #bookstagramtogether

Have you ever experienced this? 🌟 Here's my September #wrapup 📍Emergency Contact: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 📍Trail of Lightning: 🌟 🌟 🌟 📍Ink by Alice Broadway: 🌟 🌟 🌟 Yeah I didn't read a lot last month. My September wrap up is up on the blog with plans for this month.. I'm excited about them so pls check out the post.
