TAYLOR SWIFT
I don't listen to music often enough but I am a big fan of Taylor Swift. 'This is me trying' has been playing on repeat since I woke up. The words cut me to the core, and I feel like Taylor is silently speaking to me. The song made me pause, and reflect and I was on the verge of tears.

THE KITE RUNNER
The Kite Runnerâ by Khaled Hosseini is a poignant and powerful novel that explores themes of betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. Heartbreaking, shattering, captivating, completely and utterly unforgettable. This novel really took me on an emotional roller coaster. It had many unexpected turns, leaving me hooked. It has left me shocked, and shaken, but also satisfied, and in some way at peace I guess. Each character was portrayed excellently. I had a strong hatred for characters I disliked and much warmth for characters I did like. The character development of each character was so deeply and so thoughtfully written. I strongly recommend anyone to read this book.

THE HEART THAT BITES.
Lagos looked magnificent from the window she sat. The view was breathtaking and Chioma felt both thrilled and glad to have made the decision to move to the city. All her life she was confined to a one-bedroom hut on the outskirts of Nigeria, and she knew no fine buildings nor well-structured roads. All these she came across the novels that were stashed under her mattress since her room was smaller than a cubicle and lacked enough space to keep a lot of things in it. She owned very few clothes and storing them was not a grim task. Despite their unfortunate situation, her family of four children was bonded with love. They prayed, ate, sat, and told tales together. Even though they went to bed not knowing where their next meal would come from, this family of Ezeudu lived and was guided in faith. The staunch Christian home made it a routine to worship in shrines on Fridays. Every night and morning they would kneel down for prayers. There is a living and a serving God, her father would say at the end of each prayer session as he placed his hands on each one of them as a sign of blessings. The school was no issue because education was free in Annata village. Ezeudu sent all his children to study, asking them to learn as much as they could. He wished them well. Chioma was the brightest of them all, and when she was admitted to Lagos University, her father borrowed money to buy a small goat for celebrations. He slaughtered it himself and invited nearly all the villagers to join in celebrating his daughterâs brains. A small goat was barely enough to feed so many stomachs but that did not trouble Ezeudu. He asked his wife to add more water for soup purposes. And so it was known in the entire village that Chioma was leaving to start her studies at Lagos University a vastly known campus to the people of Nigeria. Indeed Ezeude had raised a brilliant girl.
