Stolen from katie087
01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
No I use the same rule I do with laptops. Food and books DON'T MIX. Call me paranoid but I hate damaging my books in any way.
02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! *covers eyes with hands* Never! I like my books to be in the condition I bought them in. I don't like using highlighters either, unless I have to in a library book we're studying at school.
03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
Never lay my book flat open, it wrecks the spine and I hate it when there are creases on the spine. I always use either a cute bookmark or something I can conveniently get my hands on. E.g. a tissue (NOT USED), tear off a piece of scrap paper etc
04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Both~ Fiction is good. I love fueling my imagination, non-fiction is great because it improves my knowledge and is fascinating 0.0
05. Hard copy or audiobooks?
Don't like audiobooks. I can finish a page while they are still reading the first paragraph. Ergh. Hard copy all the wayyyyy
06. 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?
Depends. If it's a great book and let's say I need to get to sleep then I'll tell myself "to the end of chapter...then I'll stop." But that happens....70% of the time and other 30% of the time I continue reading just a wee bit longer.
07. 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?
If I do come across an unfamiliar work if I'm on my laptop I'll google it straight away or I'm at home I'll go look it up in a dictionary. If I'm out I'll write it down and look it up later yeah.
08. What are you currently reading?
I just finished reading Chasing Midnight by Susan Krinard and I need to finish The Host by Stephenie Meyer which I've been picking up and putting down for around 3 months now! *le sigh*
09. What is the last book you bought?
Chasing Midnight by Susan Krinard
10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?
I read more than one at a time. I mean not only do I read around 3 books at a time I need to remember what's going on in each of my fanfiction/fictionpress stories on my story alert.
11. Do you like re-reading books?
Yes if they are really good and they are those books which you might realise other hidden themes/symbols etc once you re-read them.
