I have many hobbies that I enjoy in my leisure time, but the one I cherish most is definitely reading books. Growing up, I used to read a lot of books before bed, and that hobby never really stopped. Even now, I love to read, and it has always been a very special thing to me. I also enjoy writing, and I write novels. I like to read story books, especially murder mysteries. I also read Bengali storybooks alongside English ones. I started reading with the purpose of improving my reading skills. With that thought in mind, I began reading, and it has helped me tremendously. It's something I truly enjoy, and it gives me immense pleasure to read books in my free time.
