This was a rather lovely little graphic novel set in a magical Benin-inspired fantasy world.

With Okupe being Nigerian, that's a wrap on the Formidable Reading Challenge! #urc2025 #URC @Faranae #frc #frc2025

I've put all the other prompts into a grid for the Ultimate Reading Challenge - and have only three to go there.

Faranae Oh wow! Congrats on the first official completion of the FRC2025! Looks like you read lots of good stuff for it. 1d

The World I Live in | Helen Keller

#URC prompt “blind author.“

I was reading There Plant Eyes for this prompt (I wanted fiction but couldn't find anything easily obtainable) and it gave me a yen to read this, a book which is largely a defense of a deaf-blind person's right to use language and have an imagination. You can feel Keller's frustration, even as she tries to maintain a positive outlook -- no one is interested in what she has to say unless it's about her disability.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 2y
Faranae Even I resorted to Helen Keller for that prompt because I don't have time to go scaring up something else. Well, I used Lafcadio Hearn for the #FRC prompt, at least (he was fully blind in one eye and slowly lost vision in the other - his move to Japan was partly because he was no longer able to see well enough to draw the illustrations that kept his newspaper afloat). 2y
willaful @Faranae GoodReads really let me down on this one. 2y
