Reading? As a hobby?

Before we start, let’s step back to the title. Yes, reading as a hobby. Some people may hate reading, some people love reading. And I’m a person of books, aka i love reading. Jumping back to our topic, i started reading when i was a still a toddler, i started with Disney princess’ books (if I’m not wrong, i don’t really remember much), but from what i remember, I’ve always liked reading books, even now. Books have been a part of my life for the past 14 years, it taught me a lot —reading, understanding, it also taught me how to write properly in English or in Bahasa.

My collections? I don’t really remember much, but here’s what i remember; A big Disney princess’ book full of their stories (Rapunzel, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, etc.), Lion King, The Dairy of Pocong Pinky, Indigo, Mahajana, Mada, Harry Potter (from the 1st book until the 3rd), Silly Gilly Daily, Laut Bercerita, Pulang, Namaku Alam, Sherlock Holmes, Jejak Langkah (the current book I’m reading), and Bumi Manusia (it’s still on my list, i haven’t read it yet.)

Yes, i know that’s a lot. But believe me, once you get to know the world of books, it becomes addicting (yk like caffeine and coconut matcha) —though some of the books i read had a pretty heavy language, it’s pretty hard to understand such heavy language like the ones in Sherlock Holmes and Jejak Langkah, but learning new word is also fun.

Now.. for the fun part. I wanna recommend all of you reading some of my favorite books; The Dairy of Pocong Pinky, Silly Gilly Daily, Sherlock Holmes, Namaku Alam, and Jejak Langkah. A bit of advice though.. if you wanna start reading easygoing book, start with The Dairy of Pocong Pinky and Silly Gilly Daily, but if you want something heavier then you can start with Namaku Alam

So.. i think that’s all for the start of this “reading” diary. To continue my journey, I’ll be posting a lot about the rating for the books that I’ve read. Thank you all for reading this start of a journey, see you all next time!
