Hi there! Today is Book Lovers Day, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share my journey with reading. I started reading in 2021, right after I decided to quit Instagram. I had a lot of spare time on my hands and wasn’t sure what to do with it. That’s when I decided to subscribe to Kindle for 3 months and give reading a try.
At first, I picked books based on their titles—the more exciting the title, the more I wanted to read it! My main goal back then was just to read as many books as I could. It was a fun and exciting time, and I was really enjoying myself.
After I passed my 12th class, I bought my first physical book. It was called "YOU CAN" by Mathew. Holding a real book in my hands felt different, and it made me even more excited about reading. I started following some YouTube channels about books and joined the Goodreads community, where I found so many great book recommendations. Because of these recommendations, I came across amazing books like "Atomic Habits," "Rich Dad Poor Dad," "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck," "The Alchemist," and "Attitude is Everything." These books really made a positive impact on my life and changed the way I think.
In the past 8-9 months, I’ve challenged myself to read deeper and more complex books. I’ve been reading "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius and "Weldan" by Harry. These books are tough to get through, but they’re pushing me to think in new ways and broaden my perspective.
My Favorite Books So Far:
- "Atomic Habits"
- "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck"
- "Man's Search for Meaning"
- "The Psychology of Money"
- "Thinking, Fast and Slow"
Reading has truly become a big part of my life, and I’m so grateful for all the amazing books I’ve discovered along the way. If you haven’t started your reading journey yet, today is a great day to begin.
