"Let's learn about
each others Reading Habits!!"
1. Amazon or brick and
mortar?
- I'd rather go brick and mortar (to a store) but since
my wallet can't handle full prices I usually go Amazon, if I have to buy. If
want to read, library!
2. Locally owned
bookshop or big name chain?
- I would rather go to a
locally owned bookstore but to do that means a special trip because they are in
the wrong direction.
3. Bookmark or dog-ear?
- "Funny you should
ask, Allen" When I was a kid I was the one that dog-eared. I loved it
because I could dog-ear it to the exact line that I was reading. Now that I am
older (and renting books) I don't do so.
4. Alphabetize by
author or alphabetize by title or random?
- Alphabetize by TITLE
after of course my Favorites. They always go first.
5. Keep, throw away, or
sell?
- Keep ones that I love,
sell ones that I don't and throw away books that shouldn't be alive. I know
that last part will get some upset but there a few books that I don't think
people should read. Just my option and since they are my books, then yes I can
throw them away.
6. Read with dust
jacket or remove it?
- I read with my dust
jacket on. I use it as my bookmark and that's why I like buying hard back more
then paperback.
7. Keep dust jacket or
toss it?
- Well if you read number
6 then you should know I KEEP! The dust jacket is an art work of the
book.
8. Short story or
novel?
- Novel. Short Story are
cool for school. Not for me reading.
9. Collection (short
stories by same author) or anthology (short stories by different authors)?
- Collection because I
like to get to know the author. A short story with one author isn't enough time
with that person.
10. Stop reading when
tired or at chapter breaks?
- I usually read til a
chapter break. Inless I am THAT tried but I try to always stop at a
break.
11. “It was a dark and
stormy night” or “Once upon a time”?
- "It was a dark and stormy night" when Cody
discovered the books that start with that line have a much better ending.
haha.
12. Buy or borrow?
- Uhhhh... Both. I will
borrow but I perfer buy cause I am the girl that underlines/write in the book.
Books are like my diaries.
13. New or used?
- I like the smell of new
books better but I most of the books I feel in love with are ones I picked up
at a thrift store.
14. Buying choice: book
reviews, recommendation or browse?
- I usually just browse
til I find something or I used to, then goodreads was created. After that I go
by what a few of fellow bloggers say. Mostly Rae Guns cause she and I have similar taste.
15. Tidy ending or
cliffhanger?
- If you know me I HATE
CLIFFHANGERS!! It will automatically ruin any good book for me, unless of
course they tie everything up for me in the next book.
16. Morning, afternoon
or nighttime reading?
- I prefer before
bed reading because it helps keep my nightmares away but I usually read all
day.
17. Single volume or
series?
- Uh. This is hard. Single
if it well written and ties up nicely. If it is a cliffhanger then by the love
of books there better be a series.
18. Favorite series?
- I haven't read to many series that I enjoy so
HUNGER GAMES
I am currently reading the
Caster Chronicles (Beautiful Creatures) and
so far so good.
19. Favorite book of
which nobody else has heard?
