Reading Habits Tag

Hey readers! Nothing too fancy, just another book tag! Feel free to answer the questions in the comments!

Reading Habits

1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

Not really, I typically read in my bed or on the couch.There is a certain side of the couch, since my husband likes to watch TV in the dark I sit under the reading lamp.

2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?

I've always been a random piece of paper person but I've been making an effort to use actual bookmarks.

3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/ a certain amount of pages?

I can yeah. Do I like to? Not really. Usually I will use page breaks or wait until I get to the end of a page where the sentence stops at the bottom.

4. Do you eat or drink while reading?

I'll usually drink water, I'm not much of a snacker. I've been trying to eat my lunch and read at work however that's usually when everyone wants to chat so I have a hard time focusing.

5. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?

I used to adamantly be against having the TV on while trying to read because I could never focus on my book. However, I can have the TV on for my husband and read something at the same time. I think it's because I haven't found a good show that sucks me in for a while.

6. One book at a time or several at once?

I try to keep it to one book at a time, but I'm super guilty of having two going at the same time. Usually it's a physical and an e book, and that mostly happens if I am somewhere that I have time to read but I forgot my physical book.

7. Reading at home or everywhere?

Everywhere! But I prefer at home.

8. Reading out lout or silently in your head?

Silently in my head. I'll read aloud if I have a hard time focusing on the paragraph.

9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

In Highschool when we had to do group reading I was super guilty of this. Now, if I don't know if I like a book within the first 100 pages I'll occasionally flip to the last page to see if it's something I want to finish.

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Snap that back, girl. I don't mind a worn in book.

11. Do you write in your books?

1. When do you find yourself reading? Morning, afternoon, evening, whenever you get the chance or all the time?

All the time. Typically in the evening or at night. On weekends it's usually in the afternoon. If I have the day to myself 100% it'll be pretty much all day.

2. What is your best setting to read in?

Direct light, comfy seat that I can change positions in easily, and dodge.

3. What do you do first – Read or Watch?

I think it depends on what it is. There are some books that I may know was a book first but I'm not interested in enough to pick up the actual book so I'll probably check out the movie instead.

4. What form do you prefer? Audiobook, E-book or physical book?

Physical above all. E books are convenient since they're on your phone and you can pull it up in a pinch. Audiobooks I can be picky about because of the story or narrator.

5. Do you have a unique habit when you read?

I usually end up putting my bookmark in my mouth. If I have other stuff to fidget with I'll stuff them in my bra sometimes when moving from one reading location to another. 

6. Do book series have to match?

I'm not particularly strict on this as far as paperback vs. hardcover. If it's a series that had a face lift I prefer to have the same version of the series.
