Bibliophilism ~

Hii everyone๐Ÿ‘‹ how are you guys? hope you had a great weekend! I remember saying that I would update my blog time to time, so here I am.  So, today I am going to talk about " Bibliophilism". A penchant for collecting rare and valuable editions. In addition to its great importance to the intellectual and spiritual development of the collector (bibliophile) himself/herself, bibliophilism plays a considerable social role by facilitating the creation of outstanding collections of printed works as well as the preservation of rare editions and specific copies of books. These may be notable because of the quality of the printing, illustrations, or bindings; they may contain autographs or inscriptions by their former owners and readers that are of historical and scholarly interest. Many bibliophilic collections have formed the bases of large public libraries. The custom of collecting works of written literature originated in remote antiquity in the East and later in ancient Greece an

A Bibliophile's Dream ~

 Hii guys!✌️ Sorry I couldn't post anything for a while, I was busy falling for fictional characters ๐Ÿ˜†, just kidding, I was piling up some ideas for my first book, it has been my childhood dream to publish my own book. I have seen famous Bhutanese authors like Chador Wangmo, Pema Yuden, Kunzang Choden, and many other authors both young and adults, receiving prizes and certificates for the best author in the television. I always used to search up for new ideas for my first book, but I always used to crumple the paper and throw it in the dustbin because I always knew my ideas were boring and dumb. So even after I threw my ideas in the dustbin I always used to write up new ones because I knew I had to keep going if I wanted to pursue my dream. I asked my friends for some ideas, and fortunately my friend Kinley Wangmo shared an amazing dream about how she was born, I quickly went home and started working on my first book.  Even though I am still stuck with the first page, I am determi

So, today I am going to talk about my all time favourite author, which is.....guess? so if you thought about the American novelist who is best known for is horror books "R.L Stine" you are a 110 percent correct. So the man in the picture given above is the   American novelist who is best known for his horror books for children, including the Goosebumps and Fear Street series. So if I talk a little something about him,  Stine was born on October 8, 1943  in Columbus   Ohio,  the son of Lewis Stine, a shipping clerk, and Anne Feinstein. He grew up in Bexley, Ohio  . He comes from a Jewish  family. Stine began writing at age nine, when he found a typewriter in his attic, subsequently beginning to type stories and joke books.  According to the documentary  Tales from the Crypt: From Comic Books to Television , R.L. Stine said that he remembered reading the popular/infamo

The story of how I became a Bibliophile ~

 Hi everyone! It's me again ✌ So today, I am going to talk about my interests in books and how I became a bibliophile, hope you guys don't doze off while reading it.๐Ÿ˜„ So, when I was little my mother used to read me stories about princesses and mermaids, and I really loved how their stories would have happy endings and happily ever after's , and on the other side my grandmother and grandfather would always tell me stories about the ghost lurking around the village, of course I knew the stories were all made up but sometimes I couldn't even go to the bathroom without my elder sister and my mother. Even though I didn't like horror stories that much, I always liked how it creates a fake scenarios for the listeners and the readers. When I was 7 I made up a story about a girl who got lost in the woods and later was found by a prince and then they were married and it was a happily ever after, even though it was a bit cringy i shared this story to my parents, and guess wha
