My name is Alison, I'm 18 years old and I'm from the Netherlands. I love reading—for me, books aren't just a hobby, they're a true way to visit other worlds, live thousands of lives, and discover new sides of myself. I love fiction most of all, but I'm not limited to just one genre—my reading list includes classics, contemporary novels, fantasy, psychology, and nonfiction. Reading helps me understand people better, develops my imagination, and inspires me to dream about the future.
