What kind of books do you like to read? Do you only read one genre or are you like me? I'm an eclectic reader. If it sounds good, will teach me something, make me feel something, will make me cry, laugh, sing, or all the above, I'm all over it. Don't tell anyone I told you this. I'll deny it in court.

So, when people applaud my productivity and discipline, I always look behind me because surely they're not talking to me. I'm lazy and mostly unmotivated. You're probably wondering why I'm writing this blog post. I mean, I just admitted
