Welcome!

These are the books on my shelf!

Hi, my name is Ijeoma and I have been an avid book reader since I moved to America at 2 years old. Coming here from Nigeria was a huge learning curve. Even at 2 years old I knew how different I was because I did not speak the language or knew any of the customs. So I learned through reading. Since then I have amassed a huge library of books. Now as an adult I am rediscovering my love of books and collecting more and more. Below are some of the books on my shelves. With time I will continue to add more and I would love if you add your book suggestions for me in the button below.
