#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

I think I'm going to really enjoy Nnedi Okorafor's writing. She's new to me, but I'm already impressed with the opening pages to the tagged.

Soubhiville I haven‘t read this one yet. Hope you like it! 1y

@Mitch Thank you so much for my#BlitsySwap package! I love everything and haven‘t read any of those books! I‘m wearing the T-shirt to school tomorrow and can‘t wait to show my treasures to my students, but the chocolate is unlikely to survive the night!! I love British milk chocolate! Nothing can compare!! #BlitsyHistoryMonth #BHMS

Readergrrl @Mitch my daughter reminds me that Galaxy bars were her only choice the summer we spent in Scotland. Now I have to share!! Haha!!! 4y
Chelleo Great shirt! 😍 4y
Mitch Im so glad you like it all - it was a fun package to put together. Galaxy is my husbands favourite chocolate. We're a divided household - i'm in the Dairy Milk camp he's in the Galaxy camp! 4y

The #joyousjanuary readathon definitely helped me find a few minutes for myself to read, which was so nice amidst the chaos. Finished the tagged book on a walk this morning and got to enjoy this glorious sunrise.

“The cracks the storyteller in me required weren‘t there. It was because of and after the Breaking and my subsequent journey that I acquired this part of my self.”

A short non-fiction book about how Okorafor's paralysis from a back surgery for MS leads to her taking on writing. This was amazing and absolutely gorgeous.

5/5

A very interesting, very short memoir about the spinal surgery gone wrong that left Nnedi Okorafor temporarily paralyzed and alter the course of her life from pre-med athlete to science fiction and fantasy author. The audiobook is read by Nnedi Okorafor and is only 2 hours long.

CBee I love Nnedi! I had no idea she‘d been through this 🙁 4y

A hopefully, inspiring journey of Okorafor's from teenage athletic star to award wining sci fi writer, via surgery, paralysis, physical therapy and pain.

I did this as an audiobook. It was pretty quick, a talk she has given before. Powerful and meaningful.

Nnedi Okorafor was paralyzed as a young woman by a back surgery. The promised cure for her severe scoliosis led to paralysis and numbness. She eventually regained movement but not all sensation. The experience was transformative; all her future plans (and self identity) were shattered. What grew out of the ashes was a new determination and unbounded creativity. Okorafor says being broken opened new portals for her to explore this mysterious life.

Had a rough pain week, but I‘m celebrating that I let my body rest when I needed to, and got some fun things in there (like a wing night with friends) while I was at it.

✅ 10k step goal met on days when I could
✅ 4 books instead of just 1 - finished Leadership: In Turbulent Times and The Pun Also Rises, and read the tagged book and Suffragette Scandal start to finish.

wanderinglynn Way to go! 🙌🏻 I love the way you viewed your week! That‘s the power of #positivity. 🎉 You are celebrating what you did do and that‘s awesome! But I am sorry you faced some pain days this week. I hope this week is pain-free. 💚 5y
Charityann Nice job!👍🏼 5y
