                To many people “Reading” is something that reminds them of a boring time with an institutional book. I was also in that many people group before I joined Instagram and got in touch with some book lover friends. I am still mesmerized by my journey of being a reader. It is not less than any fairytale or fable. I met people and learned to be a reader. This sentence is very smooth to listen to or read but it was not so easy for a newbie reader which was me. When I joined Instagram and came up with the term “Bookstagram”, I found myself as an illiterate girl who never felt any special attraction for non-institutional books. Can you imagine a girl of nineteen or twenty who never touched a comic book or any kind of fiction or even a book of fable in any of her vacations? As I was that kind of girl, it was too hard for me to adapt to the bookstagram culture. But the aesthetic photographs and write-ups also considered as the review of the books hitched me to them. At that moment I made up my mind that I would also be a reader like them. The promising statement was very easy, but the starting point was the most difficult task for me. I asked for help from many and got a lot of advice too.  Someone suggested starting with some comics, some suggested fiction, and guess what, some suggested some classics to start with. But what happened to me was I could not concentrate much on all the books. Because some books were very fat in size, that huge number of pages made me afraid to start. So, I avoided most of them. Oppositely I was enjoying reading thin books that have fewer pages. When I continued this process, I found that I read many books in such a short time. Now, when I can finally read fat books too and ended up more than twenty books in a hectic year came up with the logic of why newbies like me should start with thin books for building a reading habit. First of all, fewer paged books inspire one to finish one quickly and start another. Secondly, when you finish a book, you will feel a satisfaction within yourself that will motivate you to keep going, which is very important. It is also effective to carry a book to build a reading habit. In that scenario thin books are preferable. Most of the little thin books cost comparatively less than others. So, anyone can cut up their pocket money for buying a book. To many readers, finishing a book with one day of reading is a great happiness. In this case, thin books will also be a great choice. After reading ten to twelve books in a row, one achieves patience as well as the pleasure of reading a book. Then the reader is ready to go with any fatty, slim or any kind of book that is in the top priority list.
