I was fond of books at a very young age. I think it started when my parents bought a treasure chest-like box full of fairytale books that comes in fancy covers. In elementary school, I would read books while having lunch and then would read some more in the library as soon as school ends. I would also borrow them and then take them home and with that, I received a borrower's award from the library. I didn't get to read as much during high school, though. I was busy with club activities, dance programs and contests, and student council tasks. I was reunited with books and the library when I got into college. With the wide array of subjects to choose from, I stayed longer in the library reading books about architecture to interior design to psychology to photography, whatever sparks my interest on that day!

Reading books electronically became a thing here, if my memory serves me right, was sometime when Fifty Shades of Grey (E. L. James) hit the shelves. The bookworm that I am, I tried e-books. I stopped after a few pages because (1) I'm just not used to reading that way and (2) my eyes hurt when I'm on my phone for too long.

Fast forward to 2019, today marks the 31st day of me using AnyBooks. In a month's span, I was able to finish 3 books namely Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life (Héctor Garcia and Francesc Miralles), The Happiness Project (Gretchen Rubin) and lastly, The Convenience Store Woman (Sayaka Murata). I'm currently halfway through on my 4th book which is Your Inner Critic Is a Big Jerk: And Other Truths About Being Creative (Danielle Krysa).
