Honestly speaking, I am not interested in reading physical books. Of course, I am interested in audiobooks. I am a technical person, a computer enthusiast, and I love to watch videos about particular subjects on YouTube or any information platforms like Google and many more. Thinking about the book that I read, it was a storybook that I managed to study during the lockdown of COVID. At that time, our internet bill had expired, and we had no access to the internet, so I had to rely on other mediums for entertainment. So I read Beauty and the Beast. I don't remember the author, but it was a book that I forgot to read from the school library, and this story was quite amazing. It took me about two hours to finish the book, but it was worth reading. Why? Because the story was nice. It was like a kid's story, but I was a kid at that time. In the story, Beauty was a girl who didn't have any boy for a mate, and in her dreams, a beast, what you call some kind of horrible being, was flirting with her. She was a girl; he wanted all that love and attention from Beauty, but she was not interested in him. One day, she was forced to accept him, and he turned out to be a handsome boy who was affected by a witch. And yes, the story was also interesting at that time.
