Whattttt!!!!!! Let&#8217;s rewind.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if there were free libraries in Nigeria &#8211; Jos, specifically (apart from the ones in school) where you could borrow an unlimited number of books AND the library had a decent selection. I do not remember that. Maybe they existed, but I don&#8217;t remember. My mom used to buy me books to read, but I always read them too quickly. Once I <em>entered<\/em> under the table with a book, it was over. In America, my mom did not have to spend a penny on books; she only needed to take me to the library, and I&#8217;d select twenty to thirty books.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That was when I was not adulting, of course. These days, I don&#8217;t go to the library to borrow books. Instead, I buy them on Amazon. However, I have not been reading half as much as I used to. Being an adult comes with responsibilities that do not allow me to curl up under the table and read from night to morning.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, however, I read Call Me Legachi, written by Adesuwa O&#8217;man Nwokedi. I knew nothing of her before I bought her book in Nigeria. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, so I&#8217;m sharing it with you. If you like romance novels that have you smiling as you turn the pages, then you&#8217;ll like this book. The main character is Legachi, and the book is set partly in Lagos, Nigeria, but mostly in London, England. The author, Adesuwa O&#8217;Man Nwokedi, has many other titles, and you can find her online at <a href=\"https:\/\/thefertilechick.ng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Fertile Chick<\/strong><\/a> (at this moment, her website is down, but you can keep checking back).
