A Mind enriched by ages

By Claire Chao

Driven by an insatiable desire for the heart-pounding twists of thrillers, the spine-chilling allure of horror, and the exhilarating rush of romance, Katie Nguyen finds her world transformed into an adventurous escape with every page she turns.

From a young age, Nguyen’s parents would take her to the library with her sister. 

"I would basically be forced to get books, and then I eventually grew into liking it." Nguyen said. 

She first started taking a liking to adventure books, then expanding her reach out to genres like horror and thriller. 

After a while of reading horror books, Nguyen dived deeper into thriller and romance. Reading book series like Throne of Glass, where the protagonist is fighting for her freedom from the corrupt king, and another book where two orphan siblings have to be separated into different orphanages. 

Nguyen’s love for reading is fueled further by family and boyfriend. They are frequently buying her books and making sure she never runs out of books to read. With every new book, Nguyen continues to explore the vast landscapes of fiction, forever eager, for her next big adventure.

Nguyen’s boyfriend often reads to her when she’s too exhausted to do it herself, enriching her reading experience and deepening her connection with her loved one.

She uses books as a relaxer from when her days are stressful and heavy. Reading allows Nguyen to immerse herself into the emotions and settings of the books she enjoys reading. Using her past time for reading is always an option for Nguyen.

As her library of books grows, her passion for reading also emerges and brings out a beautiful love and delicate mind for her to share with her fellow readers and those who will listen. Nguyen continues to expand her love for literature book by book.
