bookshy

Powered by Blogger.
Today, my blog turns 3 and I'm really excited. When I wrote my first ever post New Beginnings on this day in 2011 in Lagos, I had no idea what an amazing journey I was heading on. It really has been a fantastic three years and I have loved every second of it.

I am going to keep it short and sweet this year and say thank you, thank you, thank you for all the love and support my blog gets. For everyone who reads the blog, follows it, likes the facebook page, follows me on Twitter and more.

I can't say enough how much I have truly enjoyed the last three years. So here's to the next year - to (hopefully) more reading, more learning, and more sharing of my love, passion and joy for the wonderful world of African literature.

About me

Founded in 2011, bookshy represents two things: the young me who was so shy I escaped through books, and the older me whose shelf is always one book shy of being full.

bookshy is a space where I celebrate, promote and recognise contemporary African literature - although sometimes I go back in time to commemorate the greats. It is about the books I love, the books I have read and the books that I am dying to read.
