About Page (Ignore If You Want)
July 16, 2018
*This post is basically here because my About Me page above doesn't have a comment section for some reason. So if you want to comment on that page, come over here!
Welcome!
- My pen name is Adesuwa (ah-DEH*-soo-wa*) Grace
*eh like a Canadian, wa like a baby
- I am in my 20's and I'm Irish (nationality, not ethnicity ;).
- So I don't pronounce my "ings" or "th's" . Yes, when people type something like "dat bookshelf, doe", I LITERALLY PRONOUNCE IT LIKE THAT. And I also say runnin', jumpin', cookin'... it's an insignificant fact but you know, you came here to find out stuff about me...
- I'm Nigerian and am here to say that we definitely do exist in Ireland. Some people think we don't *cries*
- I'm Christian.
- I am an INFP (but partly INFJ).
- I find it easier for me to communicate with people online than in real life. In real life, I seem reserved to most people, Hence the name "Somewhat Reserved". However, if I met you in real life and you told me you were a fellow blog person and you read my blog or I read your blog, I guarantee that you'll see a great leap in my personality. It'll be way easier for me to warm up to you!
Extra Information
- Obviously, I like to read and write. I have a book blog after all. I prefer to write stories/novels over poems. I wish I could write a darn poem, though. Also, this blog isn't only for YA books. (Heck, it isn't even only for books!) I do like to read other genres such as Literary Fiction and classics (and even the occasional Non Fiction!).
- Don't ask me what my favourite book is (especially if you're a bookworm. If you do, how dare you). Ask me who my favourite author is and I'll be able to tell you that they are Holly Smale and Harper Lee. I'm pretty picky with my books but I'm trying to read different sorts of books with different authors because I want to have more favourite authors.
- I'm one of those people who prefer little to no romance in books. Yes, I'm one of those bitter people. Most romances I read almost make romantic relationships seem like the biggest burdens in the world. Ay ay ay...
- I am learning Spanish and Korean! I started learning Spanish first in school, then started self studying Korean. And if you speak/are learning those languages, why not offer to help out or try speaking to me in those languages? I'd appreciate it. Seriously.
- Seriamente, me gustaría practicar español contigo! Hispanohablante o simplemente una persona que estudia español, chatear conmigo.
- I don't mind if you want me to check out your blog. Especially if you're a fellow European/African. However, I can obviously tell if you're just trying to look for followers. If you're one of those people, don't bother. I don't even know any blogger that would fall for that trick. And if I check out your blog, it doesn't necessarily mean that I will follow it.
Thanks for reading!

Heyy Juli!
DeleteThank you!
Oh my gosh, thanks again!
Hugs!
AH HARPER LEE. To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book of all time. Sometimes it takes forever to pick favorites, but books are okay for me even though I know it doesn't work for so many people. I can tell you my top three in order. After that, it would just be me listing off titles. Okay, how about what are some books that you think are really good- is that a better question to ask? :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I actually haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird in years so I'm not sure if she's still my favourite right now. Sorry :(
DeleteReally good? Hm... Catcher in The Rye by JD Salinger, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, Animal Farm by George Orwell, Life of Pi and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I wish I had more YA but I have only be recently consistently reading YA, you know?
And what about you? Any books you have as favourites or think are very good?
Oh, that’s okay!
DeleteWaaaait, I’ve actually read all of those except for Things Fall Apart. Whoa, that’s kind of crazy.
Oooh okay, I like this question. The Boys in the Boat, Fish in a Tree, The Name of the Wind, City of Stairs, The Help, The Miracle of St. Anthony, Shoe Dog.
Wow. I have only read The Help out of all the books you've listed out.
DeleteOkay, I'll try to add as many to my TBR as I can! But the name of the Wind... I've heard of that recently because of The Poppy War. I'm scared of reading it but I'll see what I can do. Maybe next year...
The Help! Did you like it?
DeleteAhhh, YES. If you end up reading any of them, I really hope you like them. Oh, I haven't heard of The Poppy War- is it good? Haha, is it the length that's scaring you off?
Keep it all clean, man. Well, if you really wanna curse, use minor swear words. And I mean the minorest of minor ones.
"Or what?" you ask in indignation.
"Or else."
