Congratulations to the winners of BYJU’S ‘One Hobby A Month’ – Reading Contest
“A writer only begins a book. A reader finishes it.” – Samuel Johnson
A fascinating fact about reading books is that they transport the reader to a world of wonder. For only when the reader connects with the characters, they can draw inspiration from them. BYJU’S ‘Reading Contest’ received an overwhelming response. Our inbox was flooded with tons of entries from students telling us about literary characters that taught them a lesson or two about life.
Thank you for sharing your stories. While we received many interesting story entries, we picked the top three based on creativity and storytelling.
Three cheers to the winners,
Keep the spirit of reading going! Here is a list of must-read books curated by your friends
