And you will find
People and places of every kind;
Open a book
And you can be
Anything that you want to be;
Open a book
And you can share
Wondrous worlds you find in there;
Open a book
And I will too
You read to me
And I’ll read to you

Lol
Feels like a joke really!
The channel that you guys are looking at right now was started on the 23rd of July, yes not even a year has passed!
I still remember those days fondly...
We made many changes, some great experiments and a lot of ups and downs....but you guys were always there!
From deleting the entire collection that we shared in fear of copyright to now sharing some of the best books for you guys to read, this channel has grown from being just another bulk book channel to a channel whose recommendations will make you fall in love with reading all over again🤜🤛
From studies to copyright notices, there have been many hurdles in this journey to 10k, as such there have been many days where we discussed about shutting the channel down! But don't you guys worry! Each day we got our heads together and found a way to make this happen!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost
Initially, when we deleted all of our files and moved to a more book recommendation type of style, we were a little scared to lose you guys.....But you guys didn't let us down! I would be the first one to admit that I am glad that we chose the road not taken!
But of course, while talking about the channel I can't forget to mention our request group! In the initial days, the request bulk was such that one or two of us were enough to maintain the group! But as time went on, the members increased and the contributors got busier in their studies! Little did we know that we were about to receive a lot of love and support from both you guys and the book-sharing community as a whole!
From a one-man army lead by our owner Batman, to a team of now 11 contributors and 10 bots (coz Bot Lives matter😉) we are thankful to all of you guys!
A little history: Priyank was the first contributor to join the team! (And I am really thankful to Batman For this prestigious honor!)
Soon after that as the members increased, we met a gentleman named Godfather.... yes even I was scared back then by his name (currently known as PJB whose full form is still a mystery!). He soon climbed the ladders and became a contributor in the group (and I admit, is also responsible for the channel's huge growth!)
Then came in Chris and Yashwant who made all our lives incredibly easier and are some of the best people you will meet online!
Yashwant currently also manages the entertainment corp group with all his heart and soul! While Chris is there for you whenever you need a heart-to-heart fun conversation or a gif battle in the community group!
If this list feels exhaustive then you guys have no idea what's next!
He is cool, he is old, he is hot-tempered, but although he will never admit it he is a good of heart! One of the senior-most contributors on telegram.......Roshan-The Bookman!
From making his signature #TheBookmanCollection to sharing the most amount of books in the group, he is lowkey one of the best we have!
We have had some great help from a lot of other contributors as well..... them being: Sudhir, Spidey_Devil and Ash! Without these guys, most of the requests would have gone unnoticed!
And how can we forget the hard work and dedication of the bot dev himself, and one of my dearest friends: Suhasa! If it weren't for this guy, sharing books would never have become cool! Not to mention Shiiina automated msgs!
And last but not the least, the guys who make it possible that you can hear the books that you wanna read! The Men, The Myths, The Legends! The Two and only.............*Drumroll*
Resource Infinite and Anonymous Person!
These Guys work damn hard and make it possible that most if not all audiobook requests on telegram are fulfilled! (Special thanks to yashwant as well in this department)
Also a thanks to alex reach❤ you helped out alot in finding books no one else could❤

Also would like to thank the bots that make it possible to run the group(Bot Lives matter! especially group help, group buttler, shiiina, and the best of all ezebookbot!)
A few words from our channel admins:
