Let me say this as an intro to my post, I hated reading books without any images. Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura, El Fili, Noli me tangere at Rizal I hated those subjects more than Math on a monday morning or PE on a lecture day.

This summer nagtry ako i-challenge sarili ko na kumuha ng healthy hobby. Napili ko yung pagbasa ng libro. So bumili ako ng 2nd hand na Kindle.
Di ako nahirapan pumili ng first book na babasahin ko kasi favorite ko yung The Maze Runner the movie series kaya yun agad napili ko basahin

At first days medyo hirap ako kasi di talaga ako sanay magbasa, then di ko namamalayan after a few days natapos ko yung Book 1! After few days book 2 naman then book 3 and 4 all in 37 days. (I know, mabagal ako magbasa, checked it and I can only do 180WPM)

Without knowing nagbabasa ako during commute, during lunch alone at ginagamit ko narin sya pampatulog tuwing gabi. I'm having so much fun! Nasabihan pa akong "Performative male" ng mga kaibigan ko kasi bigla ako nahilig sa pagbabasa haha

I'm asking for any book recommendation, na sa tingin nyo ma t tripan ko, It can be anything, I downloaded a bunch of Stephen King books lately and I'm currently eyeing on "Dune" series.

I'm really proud to say that I managed to finish reading a book with the Maze Runner series!
Not only the first book but also including TST, TDC and TKO (I still don't have TFC).

It's currently summer in the place where I am and that means no school for a couple of months, I challenged myself to get a new hobby. I chose reading books.
Choosing my first book is a no-brainer for me because I'm always so fascinated with the Maze Runner movie. I love rewatching the series! It's like my go-to movie whenever I can't think of a movie to watch.
At first, it was hard for me to read books without pictures, I'm a manga kind of guy. But the way Maze Runner is written is like always a cliffhanger. I finished Chapter 1, then Chapter 2 then there's CHAPTER 3! I can't stop! After a week I finished Book 1. (yeah I know I'm a slow reader, checked it and I'm only around 180WPM). The series grew on me.

I read as a way for me to fall asleep instead of doomscrolling, I began reading during transpo, I read whenever I can, I just can't stop. A friend of mine even called me a Performative Male because I started reading books all of a sudden. (tbf I don't even know what that was till I searched about it, and sorry I hate matcha). I can't believe it, I'm reading books!

Really thankful for James Dashner for this wonderful series, I got a new hobby of reading. I'm planning on reading the rest of the series after TFC, Including the Maze Cutter series!
