BBAW Reading Meme

Category : BookieMonster News, Fun Stuff

BBAW_Celebrate_BooksI thought I’d participate in the BBAW Reading Meme! See more at http://bookbloggerappreciationweek.com/

Do you snack while you read?
No

Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of
writing in books horrify you?

I used to write in books at university when I was reading purely for study purposes. Otherwise I don’t like the idea of writing in books at all.

How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
My fantastic memory.

Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Both

Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy

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?
Generally I put it down at the point where I realise I’ve just been asleep for the last few seconds. Unfortunately my only spare time for reading at the moment is the very last 1/2 hour of the day.

If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
No, unfamiliar words tend to be easy to decipher by context. Luckily for me I don’t come across many unfamiliar words.

What are you currently reading?
Small Gods by Terry Pratchet

What is the last book you bought?
Personally (i.e. not for the business!) The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
Nowadays I mostly stick to one at a time, though I used to read several at a time.

Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read? 
Anytime, but it’s more about “Yay I have time to read” rather than waiting for my favourite time!

Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
If you’re reading this blog you’ll probably know the answer to this question!

How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
“Organize”…organize….? Nope, no idea what that means. :D
