What sparked your interest in books and how did you develop a love for them? What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an avid reader?

I won't lie but it was not the passion for books at the start when I started reading,I started reading when I started buying books from scholastic book fairs at my school as a kid,my principal used to always talk about books,that also added up.

To talk about the advantages of reading books

Now that's an interesting question,cause no one has asked me this.

The scholastic book fairs used to have all sorta books and idk the brochures of them made me want to buy books as a kid.

I think there can be no disadvantages of gaining experiences right??

And that is how I fell in love with books.

But as I grew up,and started watching booktubers (I am talking about booktubers and not booktoks :) )

I started buying books, that I thought I would find relatable.I really have not felt closer to people and was always hesitant to speak about things to people upto certain age, and only then I realised what it truly meant when they said “There is no good friend than a book".

(But the cost of these books 😔)

Do you think covid 19 was never as bad as it got made out to be where we needed lockdowns and restrictions?

These books helped me kill time,gain perspectives about things,and also were there letting me know that I was not the only one in many aspects.
