Now, let me tell you a bit about myself.
Hello there! My name is Chiamaka, I am the brains behind The Bibliophiles' Emissary. I am an undergraduate student studying Chemical Engineering at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. I have a number of interests as I am constantly evolving, but one of my major interests is reading . I started this blog primarily to share my thoughts on literary pieces like books, poems, anthologies, etc. In the past, I would read a lot of fantastic books, but I never had enough people to gush over these books with, so I took a huge leap of faith by creating a space where I could voice out my unabashed thoughts on pieces I come across daily. I am no adept, but I try to share my thoughts no matter how silly they may seem.
I love reading, because it gives me a sense of adventure and liberty- I get to live a different life with the flip of a page. When I was much younger, I wasn't your typical 'Famous Five' child, although I read those type of books occasionally, they never really did it for me. Years later in high school, at age eleven, I was exposed to Chimamanda's work and I had an epiphany. I was captivated by the rawness and sheer brilliance of the novels I read and that birthed my passion for literature. Additionally, being surrounded by friends who shared the same passion for reading further fueled my interest.
After a decade and some, my love for literature hasn't dwindled, if anything it has intesified and I am more deliberate with the type and quality of work I consume.
