Some people are a bit more quirkier than others about their reading habits. Some enjoy reading from the cozy comfort of their bed while others are risky and read in the bathtub. These habits tell a lot about a person’s personality and make each reader unique. Here are some of my reading habits and strangest reading experiences.

Do you have a certain place you read?

Normally I curl up in bed with my lap desk (I love that thing like it is the best thing since sliced bread let me tell you.) and read while I burn some of my favorite candles. I also love to read in my eno hammock – so much so that last winter when I got it for Chrsitmas I curled up on my back porch in it in 30 degree weather and read Tarzan.

Do you use bookmarks? 

Yes. I have to. Otherwise I will loose my page or get lost or something and won’t be able to find out where I am. I keep a bookmark jar and I also make my own bookmarks as well. 

Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after the end of a chapter?

I can usually finish a sentence and stop. I don’t enjoy doing it but if I have to get up and do something I may finish the paragraph I’m on and then I can set it down and pick it back up whenever. 

Do you eat or drink while reading?

Yes. If it’s morning or even in the afternoon I will probably have a cup of coffee or hot tea and be reading. Or ice water. But I try to refrain from eating because this one time I was eating BBQ Vienna sausages while reading ACOMAF and I dropped the sausage… that poor book has been through so much.

Do you ever listen to music/watch TV and read?

Music I can do sometimes, it depends. The TV is so distracting that I can’t read at the same time. 

Do you read one book at a time or several?

I normally read several but if things are stressful and school is busy I will just read one at a time. 

Do you read ahead or skip pages?

God no, do people actually do that? Sometimes I get too excited and have to calm myself down and reread but never do I read ahead. 

Do you break the spine or keep it like new?

*sigh* well you see ACOMAF– I try my best to keep my books in pristine shape. But life happens sometimes, and books fall from trees or get vienna sausages spilled on them and it’s okay because all the damage shows how much its been loved. 

Do you write in your books?

*dramatically raises eyebrows* I want to, I really do. I have been trying to get myself to annotate the ACOTAR series for months. I have a really old copy of Tarzan I would LOVE to write in. Totally would do it, haven’t gotten the nerve to yet. 

What is the strangest place you have ever read?

The dryer. When I was a kid I would – no joke – crawl in the dryer and take a flashlight and read in there. THOSE THINGS ARE SOUNDPROOF. I freaked my mom out the first couple times I did it, and I don’t think I could fit in a dryer to read now, but if possible 10/10 would recommend.
Also, last summer I read ACOWAR in a really old cemetery. That was cool. 

Well there you have it! That is some of my reading habits. Most of these questions came from thebibliophilegirluk so go check out her blog. What are some of your reading habits? Feel free to do this tag and let me know what your reading habits are in the comments!
