How I Read Book Tag | Revealing my reading secrets!

Look at me doing another book tag! I love seeing how other people read, I think it’s the most fascinating thing, together with organization and daily routines. 😀 Thank you, Rafaela for tagging me! Make sure to check her blog if you don’t follow her already!

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

Not really. I always prefer to read on my bed. I can sit, I can lay down, I can semi-lay / semi-sit. It’s the most comfortable place to read.

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

I can stop reading whenever, but I prefer to read until the end of the chapter and then put the book down.

3. Bookmark or random piece of paper?

Bookmark, always bookmark. I usually pick one bookmark when I start a new book and it lives there. Very rarely I’d need a random piece of paper to use as a bookmark.

4. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?

Neither? I prefer when it’s quite. But I don’t mind TV. Music, on the other hand, is a total no-no.

5. Do you eat or drink while reading?

All. The. Time! Lol I always need to either have a cup of tea or coffee, or something to snack on. If my metabolism wouldn’t be as good as it is, I would definitely need to make some adjustments to this habit.

6. Reading at home or everywhere?

Everywhere. I love reading outside, at the beach, at the park. Anywhere with sunshine. But I also read a lot at my bf’s place or cafes. Basically everywhere.

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

Several at once. I usually have 2-3 books on the go. I like to have several options for my reading time.

8. Reading out loud or silently in your head?

Uh, silently ofc. :O Reading out loud would be too slow, as I often don’t read full words just see the first couple of letters and jump to the next one.

9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

I’m guilty of skimming or sometimes even skipping pages of the books I’m not enjoying. I skipped many pages in «The Curse so Dark and Lonely» and don’t regret it.

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

Keeping it like new. As a result, I often barely open my mass-market paperbacks when I read them. Lol

11. Do you write in your books?

No, but not because I want to keep them in pristine condition. It’s more because finding a pen or even stop reading to write something down will pull me out of the story. What I usually do when reading physical books is put small squares of paper every 50 pages or so, at the end of chapters. So when I get to that point, I need to stop reading and write down my thoughts and it helps tremendously with reviews later on.

12. Who do you tag?

Jen | Sofi | Jordan | Emer | Zezee
