Nick's Random Gibberish is a weekly post here at Nick's Book Blog where I, Nick, will talk about random topics from personal posts to discussion posts. Hello beautiful people! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. In today's edition of Nick's Random Gibberish, I'll be talking about my different hobbies! 1. Reading You were surprised to see this on my list, weren't you? Source Reading is probably the first hobby I every delved into. I started reading at a very young age because my parents pushed me into it. Even though they did shove books in my face, I never felt like it was a chore. To me, it was a complete delight. When I was younger, my parents took me to this HUGE toy store in Singapore and asked me to buy whatever I wanted. What did I do? I refused because all I wanted was books. I was that kid who didn't like playing with toys and would much rather read books. While my tastes in genres have changed, reading is still my number one hobby! 2. Cooking

Nick's Random Gibberish is a weekly post here at Nick's Book Blog where I, Nick, will talk about random topics from personal posts to discussion posts. Hello beautiful people! After thinking through a dilemma I was going through I have decided to no longer do book haul posts for personal reasons. Instead, I'll be using Saturdays to post random posts that will range from personal experiences to discussions posts. I hope you will enjoy it and if you have any suggestion for topics or things you want to know about me, feel free to let me know in the comments section. Source Anyways, today's post as you can already tell, is going to be on lending books!  I'm usually all for sharing my books and letting people experience the awesomeness of books. I figure I am doing a good deed by exposing others to books. That's what I used to think at least. Turns out, there is a down-side to letting other people borrow books and that has made me incredibly wary of lending my covete
