Lets get started!
1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?
I tend to read a lot of places at home, my favourite places are the garden in the sunshine and in bed! There is nothing better than chilling with a lovely cold drink outside in the summer or tucked up with a cup of tea in bed. I love those nights when I can go to be early and get a few hours reading done!
2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?
Hmm this is a tricky one! I like to use bookmarks, however depending on where I am reading and what I am reading I sometimes just grab the nearest thing to me, which can be a scrap of paper! I do have a wonderful new bookmark though that I am trying to use for all books at the moment.
3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter or certain number of pages?
O.K, I like to finish at the end of chapters really, it makes it easier for me to slip back into the story when I get the time to start reading again. However some books I have been reading lately have really long chapters and it is not always possible for me to get to the end of one. - When I am in bed and I cannot keep my eyes open! So I have to try and find a paragraph to stop at instead!
4. Do you eat or drink while reading?
I like to drink, not all the time while I am reading but I love a cup of tea or coffee with my book. I don't like to eat though, this is mainly because I don't want to ruin the book, get chocolate on the pages or anything.
5. Do you watch tv or listen to music while reading?
No, I get too distracted! Unless the hubby is watching the football, that's O.K as I have zero interest in that and can just zone out! If others are watching T.V then I have to go into another room just so I can get immersed into the story.
6. One book at a time or several at once?
Normally I only like to read one book at a time, to allow myself to really get to know the story well and the characters, however at the moment I have a couple on the go, the reason? There are so many good books out there at the moment that I want to get through, also one of the books I am reading has really tiny writing and I am finding it a bit of a struggle, so to break it up I started another...
7. Reading at home or everywhere?
Normally I only read at home, if I have a long journey on a train/plane then I will take my book to read. I cannot read in the car though, makes me feel really ill so that sucks as I regularly go on long car journeys. I also enjoy reading at the in-laws house, they are really good and I have to do very little when I am there so I can just sit and enjoy a book for the whole weekend.
8. Reading out loud or silently in your head?
Unless I am teaching at school I always read in my head, I can read a lot faster when it is in my head. The only other exception is if I am sharing a book with my hubby - something about travel normally, then we will read this together.
9. Do you ever read ahead or skip pages?
Noooooooo, never skip pages or read ahead. I do sometimes check to see when the chapter is going to be ending - for sleeping purposes ha ha! I don't want to spoil anything for myself though so would never read ahead.
10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?
I HATE breaking the spine, I like my books to look new and if I lend a book out and it comes back with the spine bent I am not happy!
11. Do you write in your books?
No and I would never! A book needs to be respected any by defacing it in any way is not respecting it! I sometimes make notes for review purposes but on a separate piece of paper that I can slip in and then refer to when writing the review.
