This post is part of a series on the blog where I share some of the nuggets of wisdom and inspiration — related to writing and/or life — that I find steeped in the pages of novels that I’ve read.
This year I’ve been reading a lot of books from sci-fi author Nnedi Okorafor.
Her world-building is amazing and I’ve enjoyed reading about her characters and the choices that they have to make. I also enjoyed the feminist bent of her heroines as well.
From Phoenix, the POV protagonist of the novel The Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor
I love books. I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas. I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints.
