Hi everyone, this is my entry to the Hive BookClub Contest #3 and before I get into the questions asked I would like to share with you all how my love for reading came to be. I was one of those socially awkward kids growing up who avoided groups and interactions with strangers (or unfamiliar people) whenever I could and as you can guess this didn't earn me a lot of friends back then but developed a love for reading was the one light in that dark patch that helped a lot.
English is one of the languages taught in schools here and I always found it easier than the other subjects (no math genius π€·ββοΈ) and it quickly became my favorite.
The textbooks for the English classes always included short stories in them and those stories were my first introduction to reading for fun not just to study.
The more stories I read the more I wanted to read and because I spent a lot of that time on my reading became an outlet for loneliness and friends from the prints kept me company and entertained.
It got to a point I started saving from my pocket money to buy storybooks π π΅π©π¦ π«π°πΊπ΄ π°π§ π€π©πͺππ₯π©π°π°π₯.
As the years went by I learned to interact more with others and made tons of friends but the one thing that has remained constant is my love for reading that's graduated from the kiddies storybooks to more age-appropriate volumes.

Before now I could read just about any time of the day, morning, afternoon, or night. At home, at school, the library, or just about any quiet corner I could find π but these days thanks to daily commitments and work my reading time is my bedtime, in my bedroom, and on my bed.
I currently have a couple of novel apps on my phone which is my main source of books from different authors all over the world and the best part for me is the choice, so many options available of different joineries on the web from established to upcoming writers which I have enjoyed for years.

Interesting characters for one and also for me a good book should have a killer plot (none of those overused CEO falls in love with Secretary plots please)
Also, a good book should be intriguing without being too complicated.
A little bit of romance, some suspense, and mystery is 100% my speed.

I will stand with the before bed crowd π since that is usually the time I can get in my daily reading because my days are usually busy so before bed is my ME time when I can unwind after a busy day and let the world of fiction lure me into dreamland.

I generally love stories with thoughtful messages (moral lessons) the kind of stories you can take something positive from is a good choice for me but I also like a story that has a lot of intrigue in them, the kind that you cannot easily predict π―
I hate reading the first two chapters of a book and already being able to predict the end, those are super boring because I want a book that can catch my attention and hold it by keeping me guessing till the very last page.
I like stories that takes a reader on virtual adventures and make you go 'awwss π€© how I wish that was me'
So this my entry into the contest and I would like to invite
