Thank you so much to Hannah who tagged me in this! Go check out her bookstagram! I love doing tags and I am excited to do this one!
1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading? My favorite place to read is from my bed! My back hurts a lot when I try sitting up for too long, so it’s always best for me to be cozied up for reading!
2. Bookmark or random piece of paper? I adore cute bookish bookmarks, but I have the hardest time not losing them. For this reason, I usually use an index card or random piece of paper!
3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/ a certain amount of pages? I prefer to stop at the end of a chapter, but I don’t really mind just stopping too. It depends, but I would say I usually end up just stopping without waiting until I’m at the end of a chapter.
4. Do you eat or drink while reading? Drink yes, eat no. Eating is way too difficult to do while eating. Especially since I read physical books about 75% of the time. I also fear getting my book messy.
5. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading? NO! I’m awful at multitasking and tv or music will just distract me. I want a silent room if possible.
6. One book at a time or several at once? One! I have never been someone who can read multiple books at a time. Recently I’ve began buddy reading and with that I usually also read a personal book, but I definitely can’t do more of that. If it’s not a buddy read, then I am always just reading one.
7. Reading at home or everywhere? I highly prefer reading at home, but I will always have a book on me just in case the opportunity for me to read arises!
8. Reading out lout or silently in your head? Definitely silently. Do people really read out loud to themselves?
9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages? I don’t read ahead or skip pages, but if I get too excited I’ll start skim reading without even noticing. I try not to do that though!
10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new? I never ever would break a spine on purpose..
11. Do you write in your books? Yes! Mostly just underline/highlight. I think it adds a personal touch.
Are my answers similar to yours? Let me know! Link me to your post if you’ve done this already!

“Do people read out loud to themselves?” Lol. I don’t but I’ve heard of people reading like textbooks out loud to themselves to help them remember. I agree with pretty much all of these answers except the writing in books one. I don’t like writing in my books because I’m scared I’ll mess up and be very upset. So I use post its, lots and lots of post its. This is an awesome tag. Thanks for tagging me!

Reading a textbook out loud makes sense because you’re trying to learn the information, but a book? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that.

I can’t eat while reading either! Too much multitasking involved 😅 and I would rather read at home too but I always end up bringing a book with me when I go out, just in case! Thank you for the tag ❤️

She does put her paw on my kindle and flip the page if I’m not paying enough attention to her, but it’s adorable and doesn’t bother me.

She sounds lovely. My cats have done the same thing.

Lol it’s like they know that the book is stealing all of your attention from them. It never fails to make me laugh.

My cats like to but corners of books when I’m not paying attention 😂 They can’t stand it when the attention isn’t on them.

I also write in my books!!! *high fives* I love seeing my thoughts on re-reads and kind of consider it my way to converse with the author while reading.

I can not write in my books/textbook either by highlighting or circling a post i will get upset thinking i mess up the book or the money spent on the books, usually just use a post it note or a note app on device

Mine kinda differ from yours a lot. For one, I actually read out loud (oops) I just enjoy it that way. I also love to use cute bookish bookmarks and I also like to stop at a chapter. I will say cs I cannot multitask while reading and that I read one at a time unless I’m doing buddy reads. Also I can’t eat or drink while reading because I am also afraid of getting food in my book.
