The author's Morning Reading Habit

I have to admit, I'm a bit of an early riser. There's something about waking up at 6:30 in the morning that just feels right to me. Sometimes it's a bit scattered, and my day is filled with reading, watching TV, or winding down around 7 or 8 pm. But one thing that's always consistent is my love of reading. I find myself getting lost in books all the time, and if I don't finish one quickly enough, I'll often sneak in a few chapters here and there.

As for TV shows, I have a bit of a guilty pleasure list going on. I've got The Office, Parks and Recreation, How I Met Your Mother, and Once Upon a Time - just to name a few. My DVR is always full with new episodes waiting to be watched. Sometimes it's hard to pick which show to watch next, but that's just part of the fun.

But despite my love of TV shows, there's one thing that really gets under my skin: people reading over other people's shoulders. It's such a rude behavior, and I always feel annoyed when someone does it around me. And then there's the sound of people scratching dry skin or cutting cardboard - those sounds just grate on me! Some people might find them funny, but not for me.

If you were to ask my husband about children's names, he'd probably say Dumbledore. He's a bit quirky like that, and I love him for it. As for starting one's own photography business, the author seems to be still figuring things out at 15 years old. However, she offers some sage advice: take classes whenever possible, join clubs or yearbook teams related to photography, immerse yourself in blogging communities related to your desired field of photography (e.g., wedding, nature, landscape), and don't stop learning! With dedication and hard work, anyone can build a successful photography business.

When it comes to book recommendations, the author has got some great suggestions. From dystopian fantasies like The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey or The Hunger Games series to sci-fi novels like Across the Universe by Beth Revis, there's something for everyone on this list. And if you're looking for more general advice on what to read, the author is open to taking recommendations from her audience.

In terms of personal preferences, the author has a bit of an eclectic taste when it comes to books and media. She loves to get lost in world-building and imaginative storytelling, and she's not afraid to try out new genres or authors. And while she doesn't have any specific pet peeves that are particularly unique, she does seem to appreciate straightforward honesty - especially when it comes to her love of reading.

Overall, this author is just a bit quirky and loves to talk about books, TV shows, and photography. She's always up for a good conversation and is happy to share her thoughts and opinions with her audience.
