30 Day Challenge: Day 3

Its Day 3 of the 30 Day challenge and I will like to say THANK YOU all for standing by my blog and sending in your motivations via comment box. I will also like to congratulate myself for completing this challenge. I bet you are laughing but *insert not interested smiley here* its not about being lazy, am just mathematically convinced that am done. *big grin* or how do you explain 30 ÷ 3? oh! Sorry, its 10 and not 0 *covers face*


Day 3: A Book I Love

Yeah! I knew it. I was wondering why I allowed myself to be tempted into accepting this challenge and even accepting a list of things to write on. I mean books have found a way of popping up in my everyday life, thanks to my parents and I know you guys, especially you! Yes You! I know you're working for my father. <---- {This is an auto SUB for YOU!] *Abija shrugs*
This has always been my parents dream, they want me to love the books sotey dem no dey allow me play (now you know the reason why I live on twitter X_X). They bought my first ever book that I can remember for me and I love that book so much. In fact, Queens Premier is a book I can never forget or how would I have known how to say 'I go up. You go up. They go up. Up up we go. Am I to go up. Is he to go up? Yes I am. Yes he is'. How I wish I knew growing up was a trap but Brighter Grammar book 2 or is it book 3, the one with Ali and Simbi, that same one with 'Mr Sada is a farmer, he lives in Sapele, he grows yam, cassava, corn and plantain. Can you see his farm in the picture?' Heya! Epele you all can't see his farm but I still have the mental picture. :p Brighter Grammar Book 6 wasn't bad either, the one with Agbo and the Boys Scout. How will I forget 'The Incorruptible Judge', I acted this in school, at home and even in my dreams, the one pound flesh *sighs*. How about Macbeth, Talaribawi, Second Chance, A tale of two cities, Death in the Family, Eze goes to school, Kole the Superstar, Ade our Naughty Little Brother, My Book of Bible Stories, Songs of Praise (S.O.P), Merry Mayflower, Oliver Twist or The Man Who Attended His Own Funeral which happens to be my record breaking novel *looks away* I can't even be bothered, I was forced to read this 99 page novel but at the end, it was worth it.
I can't even pick any of those books mentioned above cos after reading them in school and cramming them for exams, I still get to read them at home, they kept stalking me everywhere I go. You see, I have always live this life of books, books and books but one book I love and can't stop loving is TinTin. If you didn't read TinTin as a kid, then you need to be a kid again cos you've been deprived :p. You don't have to cry though, go to the nearest cinema and request to see a TinTin movie or better still *in Ish yor boy Wizzy's voice* AXE google, awon TinTin, awon Snowy won badt gan. As a kid, I had a book as big, if not bigger than the ababio. That book is called 'The Adventures of TinTin'. I will save you all the stories behind this little Journalist who was always on one adventure or the other in company of his little dog, Snowy. You can visit this blog Adventures of TinTin to learn more about TinTin, you can also visit TinTin the official site and you will be surprised that am not the only one in this TinTin of a book. Did I even mention that there was a time this book 'Adventures of TinTin' was stolen from me and I had to steal it back :)
Ok, am done!

Points for all the nostalgia u were able to conjure. I also read most of the books u listed and I believe they contributed to what/who I am today.

Yyyyaaayyy!!! I loved Tin TIn...but you forgot to mention Sugar Girl and Koku Baboni and the Famous Five, the Secret Seven, (infact all the Enid Blyton books)....or u didn't have those ones?? Anyway, I was also into books...and probably still am....just downloaded the memoirs of Shelock Holmes....I loved the guy back then too and am having fun re-reading it (if u think you know anything about Shelock Holmes by watching that movie, think again). Anyway, before, I write a blog on this blog, lemme stop. *thumbs up, Mafaba*
