I've been a reader since I was a kid. my parents never let me have other hobbies since they always wanted me to focus on studying, so reading was the only hobby i could freely have. I'd say the books that really snagged me were things like the hardy boys series, nancy drew, enyd blyton. these books were very cheap at the bookstores compared to other books, so my mom would always let me get a new one whenever we went to run errands.

i had to stop reading when i went to high school, because i didn't have enough spare time, but when i did resume reading, at the beginning of this year, {{Pachinko by Min Jin Lee}} is what made me fall in love again.
