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.

(But the cost of these books 😔)

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

• It helps you live through an experience.

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.

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

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.

And that is how I fell in love with books.

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".

• You tend to have more understanding about certain aspects of people as you start reading different povs of different authors.

To talk about the advantages of reading books

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

I caught my husband of 20 years looking at inappropriate pics of women on TikTok or Instagram. I'm not sure., but when I told him he got mad and made excuses of why they popped up. I then told him how I've snuck on his phone and saw what he's been looking at . We had a horrible big fight. I asked him why did he even marry me when I see the type he likes . Nothing like me, I'm petite, blonde and blue eyes. These women are dark haired dark eyed and have curvy bodies, large breasts, etc. I just don't feel the same about him after this. I can't get over this
