Reading Habits:
I’ve been an avid reader my entire life, especially after acquiring a huge cardboard box of books from a garage sale in the 3rd grade. I used to plunk my hand in the box and read whatever I pulled out, which is how I ended up reading a few of the books listed above. Now, I’m too busy and selective to read whatever comes my way! I try to read at least 30 minutes every day before bed, but you can often find me reading outside or at my favorite tea bar with a Royal Tea Latte in hand.
