THE INTERVIEW
When did you first start reading for pleasure?
I was introduced to storybooks by my parents at the age of 5. Ever since they have always been a part of my life. But it was at the age of 12 when I started to become a full-fledged bookworm and started finishing one book in two days.
What is the first book/novel you read?
The first-ever novel I read was a Tamil novel called Ponniyin Selvan. My very first English novel was Immortals of Meluha
What genre do you read?
Mostly fiction, fantasy, and epic fantasy to be precise. I also occasionally read thrillers and fictions based on Indian Mythology
Do you judge a book by it’s cover?
To an extent. While the cover is not everything for a book, it definitely adds certain feels to a book. So yeah, I read online reviews, look at the cover, flip a few pages, and then buy the book.
What is your all-time favorite book/novel and why? Do you repeat reading it?
Harry Potter. This will remain my all-time favorite. Unlike many people I didn’t read it when I was a child, I read it when I was somewhere between 19 and 20. I was going through a hard stage of life and it was this book that boosted my mood and made my life magical. Yes, I repeat reading it. I read it like five times within a year, and I am planning to reread it sometime sooner.
Would you recommend your favorite book/novel to other bookworms?
Definitely. To all the bookworms out there, if you haven’t read Harry Potter yet, I’d definitely recommend it to you. You’ll have a magical journey through the books. The bonus is being part of the fandom. They are just amazing.
Who is your favorite author?
George R.R. Martin. While J.K.Rowling wrote my most favorite book, I personally like the writing style of GRRM. If I start writing fiction books I aspire to write like him.
What ambiance do you prefer for reading? Quite at home? Or somewhere green and serene?
I can literally read anywhere and at anytime. Even if there is a loudspeaker blaring near me, my mind will just block that sound eventually. But I would always love to read somewhere green and serene.
How is the reading culture in your country?
As long as I have observed adults love to read short stories. People also read novels based on history and mythology
Do you have any idea how to improve the reading culture in your country?
While the reading culture is pretty good over here, introducing exciting and fun-filled books to children and young adults may be a good idea to increase the reading habits.
Ok, that's all the questions I have for this bookworm interview. Thank you, Vybav for participating in this interview and sharing with me your knowledge of books, and the reading culture in India. I learned a lot about the reading culture and book industry in India from you. All the best in your blogging career and future.

ReplyDeleteReally? Then I should check it out too.
DeleteI never read The Immortals of Meluha, but after reading the plot I might! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you to Vybav.
DeleteGreat interview! I really enjoyed learning about the reading culture in a country other than mine, so this was a fun post.

Welcome
DeleteIt's always fun to read about fellow bookworms! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome
DeleteI love blogger interviews, it's always so much fun to find out more about bloggers - or in this case, fellow bookworms. I'm very envious she can read anywhere - I can only read in bed before lights out!
ReplyDeleteI usually read in bed or sofa too.
DeleteI don't usually read through interviews but I'm so glad I read this one. Ponniyin Selvan is an absolute favourite, and so is Amish's Immortals of Meluha. I had so much fun reading this. 😊✨
ReplyDeleteWow......looks like I have to check out those books.
DeleteI love blogger interviews, I love learning more about different bloggers x

👍👌
DeleteA agree that sometimes I do judge a book to certain extent as well. It goes to show how much attention the author/publisher is giving to its masterpiece. A good content without a proper cover is just lazy job in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteHehehe.....actually what you said is true. I used to work at Karangkraf and I learn that covers plays an important role to market a book. Plus, a cover is a summary to what is inside the book. That's why we do judge a book by its cover.
DeleteNever knew about The Immortals of Meluha before this but I will check it out. Who knows I will put as my fav book as well.
ReplyDelete👍👍👍
DeleteHarry Potter lover here! Haha..never get bored of any of the series 🤩..and I still reading it until now..haha
ReplyDeleteHehehe......i used to be a Potterhead too. But now not anymore. I’m more into classic literature, romance, and spy thriller.
DeletePotterhead here too. But I'm more into books than movies, so I've read all books in the series, but only watched 1 or 2 of the movies. Still wishing I could enroll in Hogwarts.
ReplyDeleteSame here. In fact, I always prefer to read a book rather than watching the movie.
DeleteBiasa orang will tend to look the cover. Better baca review amd flip some page for its contents..wahh hebat international nerworking. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHehehe, thanx sis ❤️❤️❤️
DeleteGreat post, this is such an interesting interview and I got a few reading suggestions from this post x

DeleteNice interview, Sis belum pernah ada kenal bloggers dari luar negara seperti India, tengok blog dia interesting sungguh.. if Vybav read this.. Sis want to say, 'nice to know you after read this'..
ReplyDeleteSis Lin, I think you should start networking with international bloggers soon. You can learn a lot of things from them abd improve your blog.
DeleteActually bagus jugak bila u selalu berkenalan dgn blogger2 dari luar..sebab selain luas pergaulan, juga luas ilmu yg u dpat..
ReplyDeleteI second that and Syukur Alhamdulillah. I did get the chance to networking and learn new things from my international fellow bloggers.

ReplyDeleteSame here
DeleteAlways fun to learn about other bloggers and readers! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to reading these interviews. I find it so interesting to read other people's experiences with reading. I find it especially fascinating to read the experiences of different cultures and countries and how they perceive books.
ReplyDeleteMe too. That's the objective of this interview.
DeleteWow keep this up coz i actually like to read interview stories. Everyone has different preferences and start their reading journey in different ways too.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's the objective of this interview.
Deletei always fascinate those who are bookworms. i try to read one book and it takes forever to finish one whole book. hahahaa. i wonder how bookworms read thick novel and can finish reading it in one day. i just cant. hahahaa
DeleteHehehe......kalo one day, I pun x mampu. I usally take 2/3 weeks. It depends on the book also. Btw, nak pupuk minat membaca ada caranya.
