In 2018, I will post more book reviews!
To all bookworms out there, stay tuned! <3
I am ready glad to see that a lot of people share the love for books with me 😍 Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies since I was really young. In the summer holiday, my family and I would spend time at my grandma's house in the south and I would read and read all day, always having a book by my side. I would go to my cousin's house to borrow her books and enjoyed my time there.
During the school year, the library had been my favorite place to be, but my school didn't really have that many interesting books. I borrowed from my friends and cousins. I read fictions online. I started reading online articles and went on websites to find out more information about things I was interested in. Things like Harry Potter, lyrics meaning, and Avril Lavigne.
When I went to America for the first time at the age of 16, I was absolutely awestruck to see how big the school library was. The local library was amazing too. I borrowed so many fictions to read during that year. My host family also bought some books for me. I think that was around the time I actually started reading fictions in English. My reading speed improved significantly that year. I gave up using the dictionary and decided to just go with flow, trying to understand words according to the context. That year I finished reading the Twilight series and Percy Jackson. I read many more books for classes, including some classics like The Great Gatsby, Huckleberry Finn, and The Scarlet Letter. It was a challenging year, but I plowed through.
Now, many years later, my love for books still remains. But I don't need to borrow from anyone anymore. Now I work hard and save money so that I can buy all the books I would like to read. I am happy and proud that I can do that. They say that money can't by happiness, but it sure can buy you things that make you happy.
Now I read not only for my own happiness. I read to share. I read to reflect. I read to discuss. I read to connect. I read to grow as a person. And I read to show others that they too can do it.
I read to learn more about the world and about myself, one page at a time.
