BBAW: Reading Habits


Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Sometimes I'll have cookies or chocolate candy.



Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
No, no, no, no, no! Never mark books. That's sacrilegious!


How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears?
Sometimes I dog-ear *ducks* I try not to. I mean, I did get an Edward bookmark and all. Maybe if I got an Eric bookmark...that would completely cure me!


Laying the book flat open?
Creases displease me. I try to avoid creases as much as possible.


Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
99.9% Fiction. The truth is just too boring.


Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy. I'm a visual person so I need to read the text in order to absorb it.


Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
I will put the book down when my eyes will no longer stay shut open. I'm a night reader.


If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
I gotta look it up right away. I always have my iTouch with me so I use my dictionary.com app. Love it!


What are you currently reading?
The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith


What is the last book you bought?
Evermore by Alyson Noel


Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
I am mystified by people who have that talent to be able to read more than one book at a time! How do you do it?


Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?
Any time that grants me peace and quiet around the house so I can absorb what I'm reading. That tends to be at night when everyone's asleep. I like to read in bed or on the couch.


Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?
No preference. 


Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
Nicholas Sparks and J.R. Ward. Hands down.


How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
My books are so not organized! I need to get a bookshelf.


Do you have a question for The Book Vixen? Ask me in the comments.

    Yes I have question for you Book Vixen:

    "Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?"
    I will put the book down when my eyes will no longer stay shut. I'm a night reader.

    What does this mean? I've long suspected you had a few screws loose but I think we now have confirmation. *giggles* (Says the typo queen herself)

    What, you don't read until your eyes stay *shut*? My eyes are just backwards. No, you're right; I've got a few loose screws.

    You had me LMAO and snorting!! You know something's really funny when I snort.

    I hear the echo of my answer on the #2 question, I feel it is sacrilegious too. Oh and you are one that doesn't like creases in spine either...hard copy girl too. I can't seem to stop shaking me head. Really enjoyed your BBAW MEME Book Vixen *grin*

    I'm with you on chocolate. I love peanut butter M & Ms but try not to buy them too often.

    We have different taste in genres, but I agree on almost all the other points! (My favorite book- accompanying snack is chocolate). And I love your header image. It's wonderful!
