Oh yes, definitely, I have been into books since my childhood. To be honest, I am not a big fan of boring academic books, but I especially enjoy emotional and romantic storybooks. If the storyline grabs my attention, I get completely hooked and sometimes lose track of time. Recently, I read a book called The Fault in Our Stars, and I found it absolutely fascinating because it was memorable and heart-touching. Reading a storybook is totally my cup of tea.
