Visit Big Bad World Books in Tangerang

Hi everybody. How are you? I hope you are all right. In December 2022, I visited Big Bad World Books (BBW) in Tangerang. This agenda was held for 10 days. I went with my friend, departing from Jakarta. This book exhibition is the biggest in Indonesia. During the pandemic, this agenda did not exist. Just this year, this biggest book fair is back.

The smell of books, some people who choose books and read books, makes me miss this kind of atmosphere. During the pandemic, I only bought books through online platforms. Oh yes, speaking of this book exhibition, this book exhibition is open for 16 hours a day starting from 09.00 to 00.00 WIB.

This book fair provides 5 million books for sale in Indonesian and English. There are several discounts available ranging from 20 percent to 90 percent. The books available also vary, ranging from children's books, novels, literature, cooking, and others. Most of the books sold are in English.

What books did I buy? I only bought 4 books. Not much, I haven't even finished reading the book. I think this book exhibition is a way to increase interest in reading in Indonesia. From some of the research I've read, interest in reading in Indonesia is quite low. It is greater to use social media than reading books.

There are many benefits of reading books. One of them can improve memory. That's how I feel when I regularly read books. It can relieve anxiety and can increase imagination. The following is my story about my visit to the largest book exhibition in Indonesia in December 2022. See you in my next story.
