Tell Me Something Tuesday: Early Bird or Night Owl?

November 18th: Are you an early bird or a night owl?

To my own horror, I have recently become an early bird. Growing up and well into my 20's, I always stayed up as late as I possibly could and swore that I would never become the type of adult that got up at 6am for no reason but within the last couple of years, I have found myself going to bed earlier and earlier and getting up earlier than I need to. It's like a switch has been flipped inside my brain and suddenly I am one of those adults that get up at 6am for no reason. I do still like staying up late and then sleeping in - I like the way the world feels in the middle of the night but there is only so much fighting I can do against my own brain when it wants to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I have found that I enjoy having time to read before work so maybe as time goes on, I will enjoy being up early even more.

    I find myself getting up at outlandishly early times the older I get, too. :)

    I'm definitely becoming more of an early bird than a night owl too. I'm usually too tired to read at night and end up falling asleep, but I love getting up early and being able to read a bit in the morning.

    I'm more of an early bird, but I kind of find myself going through cycles throughout the year. As an e-commerce entrepreneur, right now I find myself as both an early bird and night owl as I try to get ready for Black Friday/Christmas. It's been tough haha but I think like most people, even though I enjoy a good late night, I always seem to work and function better when I go to bed early and get up early.

    I've always been an early riser and now I prefer it. But as I get older, I find it hard to sleep in general, so I have to stay up later just so I don't wake at 3AM!

Tell Me Something Tuesday & Top Ten Tuesday: Underrated Authors

  That's What I'm Talking About 's Tell Me Something Tuesday   is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general.  December 2nd: Underrated Books & Authors Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish  in June of 2010 and was moved to  That Artsy Reader Girl  in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. December 2nd: Freebie I decided to mix Tell Me Something Tuesday and Top Ten Tuesday and create a list of 10 underrated authors. I thought it would be a hard list to make but I read a lot of indie authors and I always feel like indie authors are super underrated. I tried to stick with authors who didn't have any books with more than 5,000 ratings on Goodreads but a couple with more than 5,000 but less than 10,000 might have snuck in. Have you read any of these authors? Let me know in the comments. 1....
