Hello, book lovers.
How books can influence you to read more and being a books addict?
Some things have always been closely related between me and books. The people around me certainly know how much I love books. Simple dreams, to become a book collector and bookseller.
This is my first time entering a book contest, and yes, I'm so excited to join this. Because I love being able to share everything I know about books and reading books. Reading the questions asked made me want to talk a lot. At least those of you reading this will get to know me better. Who knows we can discuss the book further.
What is your favorite time or place to read?
As a reader, I can read a book everywhere and every time. Like people who play with gadgets everywhere, I usually choose to read books. Even so, I prefer to read the night before I go to sleep. Reading before bed for me can help me sleep well, but if the book is fun, I usually don't fall asleep. Hahaha.
For a place, I don't have any specific criteria for a place for me to read. Yes, I can read anywhere. On the bus, at the station, on the train, even in the woods I've been. But, for now, I prefer to read on a bus because I spent an hour on the bus when I go to the office. And that's not limited to just reading physical books, but also ebooks and short stories on the internet.
What makes you enjoy a book?
I love books the way they are. There are many things that I can explore through books. If there is a saying "Books are windows to the world", but for me, books are more than that. Books are the world itself. For example, from Harry Potter's books, we are like being taken into the wizarding world, even though we know it's unreal. But I'm sure, for all Potterheads would agree if we've ever dreamed of and wanted Hogwarts to exist in the real world.
The things I enjoy about a book are also about learning. Both fiction and non-fiction books always have points that make us more aware of ourselves and those around us. I like the process of learning from books instead of just from the internet. Visiting the library is also one of the fun in terms of enjoying a book. Because, yes, the library is heaven for books, right?
Do you like to read outdoors, before bed or on the bus on your way to work?
I love both hahaha. Because I did it. I don't have to choose one of them. But, in case I can't read on the bus because it's too crowded, I will read it before bed. So, I love to read everywhere as I said before.
There are several advantages when reading on the bus, you will not feel like the journey is so long because you will be immersed in the story you are reading. And you don't have to be bothered by anyone on the bus. However, reading before bed is just as fun. If you are lucky, you can dream about what you just read. But, it's so scary when you read a thriller or horror book and dream about it. Haha
Do you focus on character development, thoughtful messages, or the level of intrigue a plot generates in you?
In reading books, I usually put forward the plot of the story. Because, if the plot is built strong, everything can be a good supporter. Characters are important, but if the storyline is not good, things will fall apart. Books that are fun for me are books that have a good story because I will enjoy it more and finish the book more quickly.
In reading a book, I usually look at the name of the author. There are some writers whose books I like and become a collection on my bookshelf. And that sometimes becomes one of my consideration points in reading a book.
That's my story about the book. How about you?
