1. Do you prefer to read hardcover or paperback books?
-Paperback, but only because they fit in my purse easier. Never leave home without a book! Yes, I'm a real life Rory Gilmore.
2. Do you have a favorite place to read in your home?
-My bed, definitely.
3. Do you have a favorite place to read away from, or outside of, your home?
-I read in my car in the mornings before work (while parked in the parking lot, waiting for 8:00 to come)
4. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
-No, I'm not a very good multi-tasker when it comes to reading.
5. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
-Honestly, it horrifies me. I'm OCD, I can't help it. I did write in some text books in college, but it was pretty painful to do so.
6. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
-Dog ears?! No way! I usually use the receipt from when I bought it or something. Currently, I'm using a doctor's excuse that I didn't actually need to give to my boss.
7. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
-Mostly fiction. Ok, all fiction.
8. Hardcopy or audiobooks?
-Mostly hardcopy. I do listen to audiobooks a lot, but only certain ones. If it's a book I've been anticipating or a book I'm expecting to love, I have to read the hard copy to get the full enjoyment.
9. 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?
-End of chapters. Sometimes at night I fall asleep in the middle of a chapter, but never intentionally. I will stop at those scene change breaks in the middle of chapters, though. They are like mini chapter ends anyway.
10. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?
-These days it doesn't happen very often in the types of books I read, and when it does I can usually figure it out from the rest of the sentence. When I was young I kept a dictionary by my bed for just that reason. (I was a nerd, ok? haha)
11. What are you currently reading?
-Umm... this random chick lit book I picked up at the used book store - Adventures of an Ice Queen, a Nora Roberts audiobook - Born in Ice (I swear I'm not a Nora Roberts fan!), and I'm in between books on the House of Night series and the Series of Unfortunate Events series.
12. What is the last book you bought?
-I traded books at the used book store this weekend, and one of the ones I got was the aforementioned Ice Queen book. The last ones I bought were the Vegas Vampire series by Erin McCarthy. I haven't started those yet.
13. What is your all time favorite book?
-Atonement by Ian McEwan. I loved it long before the movie. It's one of those books that just absorbed me into it and completely shook me up. On the complete opposite end of the scale, I love all of Sophie Kinsella's books and all of Meg Cabot's adult books (not a princess diaries person at all).
14. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
-I always have a physical book going, 80% of the time I have an audiobook for my commutes, and an e-book for breaks at work when it isn't practical to get my real book out.
15. Do you like re-reading books?
-No. I just can't do it. Sometimes if I really love a book I'll do it, but that is rare (I've only even read Atonement the once). Or sometimes if there's a sequel coming out and it's been a while since I read the previous books. I will read my favorite scenes a few times, though.
