Booknerd survey.

Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack:
Not usually, I do however read on my lunch break while eating sometimes. It's quite hard to eat yogurt while eating though.

What is your favorite drink while reading?
Whatever I have at the time.

Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
Gah! NO I could not mark in my books!


How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?
I have some pretty cute bookmarks Kayla made me for Christmas, or I use whatever I have laying around. NEVER dog ear, I get so mad when I get a library book and someone has bent all the pages!!!

Fiction, non-fiction, or both?
Both, I usually go through phases of each though.

Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?
I would rather read to the end of a chapter but when reading at work I have to get up and down a lot, and sometimes have to read a part over if I didn't get to the end.

Are you the type of person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?
No, I'll stop to calm down or yell at it!

If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?
No, I don't think I've done that, I may have looked it up later.

What are you currently reading?
Dexter by Design by Jeff Lindsay

What is the last book you bought?
Dearly Devoted Dexter by Jeff Lindsay

Are you the type of person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?
At times I read more than one but I'd prefer to just do one at a time

Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
My lunch break, it's super quiet. Also sometimes I'll read while the kids are watching tv.

Do you prefer series books or stand alones?
I like both, If I start a series then I'm obsessed with reading them all in order and one right after the other.

Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
The Southern Vampire series, or The Sookie Stackhouse books, by Charlaine Harris. I also am loving the Dexter books right now! Go Read them!!!

How do you organize your books? (by genre, title, author's last name, etc.)
If I had the room I would do it by author, and chronological order, alas, all we have is one bookshelf that will one day die of exhaustion. :(
