  • What made you a reader?

    What got you into a reading? And also, what got you back into reading if you stopped in the middle. When I try to think about myself, I think I always been a reader, if not of books. I always enjoyed reading newspaper articles. My first language is Urdu and second is Arabic so whenever we would get newspapers of each language, I would read them out loud. At that time, I believe I was eight or nine. Then my grandmother began to subscribe to children's magazine so I could read them alongside her. I was also into comics a lot, but I mostly chose them in Arabic as I was enrolled into an Arabic school. Then I watched Twilight, and I was so intrigued by the movie. As any normal fan, I researched everything i can about the book and found out that it is actually based on books and so I went to get the second book. However, I soon discovered Wattpad and it was all I ever read for a while. After a year of no reading at all, I ended up reading The Metamorphic by Franz Kafka in 2021 and cried my eyes out. It made me rediscover my love for reading and I have not stopped since.

    I wanted to enjoy this book more than I did. But it wasn't for me even though the topic is something that interests me.

  • What's a book you wish you could forget to re-read again?

    Or a series! For me, it's the Throne of Glass series!

    'Despite being cold enough to turn a person's legs into popsicles if they don't move for a minute, the Distrillery District is more crowded than ants on a dropped sugar cube.' I do love descriptions like this ✨ gives the reading experience some extra flavor from time to time

    Do you collect special editions?

    Lately I've been so obsessed with special edition books, to the point where if I finish a book and I really enjoyed it, I'll immediately be on the lookout for any special editions that are released in the future 😭. I try to only either buy special editions if I can find them really cheap on second hand websites or only buy special editions of books that I reallyyyy liked and find special to me, as much as I'd like to buy special editions of a lot of books, they tend to be quite pricey and I just can't afford it lmao. Do you tend to collect special editions? If so, what's your criteria, like do you buy them cause you found them pretty or you've already read the book and liked it or any other reason?

  • Dragons

    I would absolutely be so into it if someone created a quest for a bunch of dragon books. Books where the dragons have a big role and aren’t just a small part of it. It would be fun to tick off a bunch and also give me a bunch more to read šŸ˜‚ What are your favourite dragon books?

    'The shittiest part about life is the unfairness. Some people are born into money and the ability to follow their dreams while the rest of us scrape by and stay stuck in unfulfilling jobs.' Amen.
