Thoughtville

Stops along the highway of my mind

  1. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? I need something crunchy and a drink when I am reading. I like tea in all forms.
  2. Do you mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?     No,no,no! I never,ever, mark up my books. I really don't even like to write my name in them.
  3. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?    I used a bookmark or the flap of the dust jacket.
  4. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?  Both, if it is interesting, I will read it. Even the side of a cereal box or the t.v. guide :)
  5. Hard copy, paperback, e-books or audiobooks? Hard or paperbacks. I don't those electronic things. I'm old school that way.
  6. Are you a person who HAS to finish chapters, or can you put a book down at any point? I stop when my eyes start to close.
  7. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?  No..I am too busy reading the story.
  8. What are you currently reading?   Night and Day by Robert P. Parker. It is the newest one in the Jesse Stone series.
  9. What is the last book you bought or checked out from the Library? It has been too long. No clue. I usually buy them. I don't the  late fees. I would go broke.
  10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time? Usually I read one book at a time. I like to focus on that one story. My life is already busy enough. I can only keep so much in my head.
  11. Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?   Bedtime, when the house is peaceful...or when Rob and the kids are out and I have some time alone.
  12. Do you prefer series books or stand-alone books? It doesn't matter to me. I do enjoy certain series,like the In Death series by Nora Roberts. Those are ALWAYS good.
  13. Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?   The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
  14. How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author's last name, etc.?)  By how many I can fit in my house ;)
  15. Do you always finish the books that you start, or can you give up midway through?  If they don't hold my interest, then I will stop reading them. If I am going to spend my time reading it, then the story better be good.
