Reading Habits:
Once I pick up a book, I usually can’t put it down. I’ve woken up with my nose buried in the pages of a paperback at three in the morning more times than I can count. Reading allows us to educate ourselves, find recreation in other worlds, and hone our critical thinking skills, so I’m going to absorb as much knowledge as I can. I’m always open to book suggestions!
