I was tagged by Mark Jayson Balas of bongbongbooks for this book tag long back but couldn’t finish this task . Better late than never, I guess. So lets begin with questions.
1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?
Yes, my Bedroom where my study table is. I mostly read in my bedroom. Sometimes I read just before sleeping ,so my bed is second spot where I read in my bedroom.
2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?
Bookmarks. mostly! I do own few bookmarks,the metal ones and paper ones too. I do carry a bookmark whenever i am carrying a book.
3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/ a certain amount of pages?
I like to stop when a chapter finishes rather than on random pages. This also works for short stories well, so I am very particular about it. It’s easier to remember where you last stopped in the story. In rare occasions when I stop reading in between chapters , I start with re- reading that chapter.
4. Do you eat or drink while reading?
Sometimes. I am one of those people who are super clean while eating, so I am not worried about my books getting dirtier.
once my friend borrowed a book and returned it with yellow food stains. I am yet to forgive her for that.
5. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?
Music is good company but tv is distraction.
6. One book at a time or several at once?
There was a time when I couldn’t read more than one at a time, but presently, I am reading 4.
7. Reading at home or everywhere?
I read when at home,office and while travelling. I do carry a book along most of the times,unless I am going out with friends and family.
8. Reading out loud or silently in your head?
Silently of course.
9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages?
I do skip pages if the book is boring or the plot is getting typical.
10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?
Why is this even a question?
Preserving it like a new copy all the way! As I mentioned earlier, I am a super clean person, I wrap books in plastic after I am done reading so they remain brand new always.
11. Do you write in your books?
I don’t write, but yes if I find a beautiful quote or if a line strucks me I highlight it.
12. Who do you tag?
I hardly have blogger friends,so I am gonna tag few friends who also blog.
Here’s the list of wonderful people I tag.
Pls, do tag me once you are done answering the questions, i’d love to read them.
Thank you so much Mark for tagging me, it was really fun task to complete.
Love getting to know my fellow bloggers through these tags. Love your answers and can identify with so many of them… Also carry bookmarks everywhere and I do eat while I read but try to be neat about it so I don’t mess up my books – definitely like to keep them looking as clean as possible 🙂
