Why I Like Books

I grew up in a family with a high awareness of reading, especially my father. Dad was a bookworm, he used to read many many books. His collections of books might fill up a library! I still remembered it pretty clearly the first time Dad asked me whether I'm interested to read Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone or not. I was like,,, who is Harry Potter? Why is he riding on a broomstick? (me right now: ofc he's a Wizard and a Snitch catcher u fool).


And this book has successfully brought me to this fancy world of reading, so glad of this fact and Harry Potter is still my go-to, my all time favourite, something that can always comfort me. I never get bored reading it whenever I want. Its story, the characters, everything is just magical yet real to me. As I flip through the book I feel like I'm a part of it. It changed how i imagine things. And I'm not exaggerating anything.

Dear Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Thanks for making my childhood so wonderful! Thanks for creating Harry Potter. Thanks for saying that Hogwarts will always be there to welcome us home!!!!!!!
