My Reading Habits Book Tag

While scouring the deep recesses of the book blog portion of the inter-web, I found this tag and thought it would be a great idea for you to get to know who I am as a reader. Not to mention all the strange things I do for books.


DO YOU HAVE A CERTAIN PLACE AT HOME FOR READING?

I have many spots at my house where I read. I do a lot of my reading on my bed especially when the weather is bad. But when the weather is nice you most likely can find me out on the porch swing or on my blow up lounger. And if I'm at my boyfriend's house I can be found curled up in my fluffy papasan chair with my soft blankets.


BOOKMARK OR RANDOM PIECE OF PAPER?

Bookmark for sure!  I have a plethora of bookmarks ranging from ones I get at events or wooden ones or duct tape ones that I hand make for myself.


CAN YOU STOP READING ANYTIME YOU WANT OR DO YOU HAVE TO STOP READING AT A CERTAIN PAGE, CHAPTER, PART, ETC.?

I can stop whenever, but I almost always reread a few paragraphs to remember where I am. I probably should stop at each chapter, but I can get so distracted so easily or get called by a family member to do something.


DO YOU EAT OR DRINK WHILE READING?

A lot!  Probably more than I should as I worry that I may ruin a book or two. I try to nibble on non crumbly snacks like gummies or dried fruit so I don't get any on the pages. I also mostly drink water, but I do occasionally drink tea or coffee to keep myself awake.


CAN YOU READ WHILE LISTENING TO MUSIC/WATCHING TV?

I love making playlists that go along with the book that I am currently reading. When it comes to reading while watching tv, not so much. I may be able to sneak in a few sentences during the commercials, but I get way too distracted to read much more than that.


ONE BOOK AT A TIME OR SEVERAL AT ONCE?

I have at least two going at a time. One physical copy and one audiobook. I read the physical book whenever I'm home or at my boyfriend's. I listen to the audiobook while driving and working just so I can keep reading. I have so many books to read that I need to do whatever I can to finish them.


READING AT HOME OR EVERYWHERE?

Everywhere!  I hardly go anywhere without a book in my hand. And, heaven forbid I forget my book at home, I still have a few downloaded onto my phone just in case.


READING OUT LOUD OR SILENTLY IN YOUR HEAD?

Definitely silently in my head!  I read a ton of fantasy and I don't think my parents would appreciate me talking about blood and gore all the time lol.


DO YOU READ AHEAD OR SKIP PAGES?

No way!  I need to read every since glorious word on those pages!


BREAKING THE SPINE OR KEEPING IT NEW?

This question made me cringe. I always keep my spine looking their best as I take a ton of pictures for Instagram. I don't even loan out my paperbacks for fear of getting them back with the spine broken.



I hope these questions gave you a little more insight to me as a reader!
