I have been tagged by the blogger MusicGirl19 to do this Book Lover’s tag. Thank you for thinking of me! I do love books, and reading, so was definitely up for this one!
Do you have a specific place for reading?
I could read anywhere, in bed, on the sofa, on a lounger in the garden, by the pool… the one place I cannot read is in a car or coach. I get a really bad headache! Trains and planes are fine though!
Bookmarks or random pieces of paper?
I do love a good bookmark, but I have been known to fold corners. But at the moment I am reading via my Kindle, so a bookmark is a bit defunct!
Can you just stop anywhere or must it be at the end of the chapter?
I definitely prefer to stop at the end of a chapter, but if I have to, I try to find a natural break… unless I am tired and I fall asleep mid page!
Do you eat or drink while reading?
Yes, I do, but not all the time, I’d be huge then! I can even cook and read at the same time!
Music or TV while reading?
I prefer silence to be honest! Its too distracting. T, I start watching, and Music, I will end up singing along!
One book at a time or several?
One definitely! I have to give one book my full attention!
Do you prefer to read at home or elsewhere?
I love to read, curled up on the sofa or in bed to be honest, but would happily read anywhere!
Read out loudly or silently?
Silently, most definitely!
Do you read ahead or skip pages?
No, I don’t, or not any more! I used to be cheeky and check the ending, but not anymore!
Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?
I like to break the spine, itg shows me the book has been read and loved!
Do you write in your books?
I don’t annotate. That is something I was happy to leave behind, after studying! But I do like to write my name in the front of some books!
I won’t nominate anyone specific, but I do urge you to have a go at the tag if you are a book lover too, just for the fun of it!
Link back to me so I can read your answers!
Happy reading!
But I Smile Anyway...

I have hopped from one blog to another…this is fun Ritu…loved reading about your book habits. I happen to be very disciplined as books were held in high esteem when we were children. Respect for books, no folding of pages and keeping them back at the right place…many more!
Now they are almost invisible with kindle and it is great fun though I scoffed at it in the beginning 🙂

I do not have a specific place for reading and am now enjoying reading outside.
I use the fronts of greeting cards I receive to mark my place, and love it when a charity or animal organization sends me a nice, sturdy bookmark.
I usually stop at a natural stopping place, not necessarily at the chapter’s end.
I sip and eat (crunchy-munchies) while reading.
No music or TV unless the book is boring and I need instrumentals to soothe me through.
I read as many as four books at a time.
I read anywhere and silently.
I NEVER skip ahead.
I try not to write in books unless it’s a book I’m studying and try very hard not to break the spine.
Ok, so I’m a bit obsessive/compulsive when it comes to reading, but who isn’t?

They are nothing like each other. One will be non-fiction (self-help), one inspirational, a YA novel, a real novel, and maybe a classic. It’s easy! I have a pretty good memory for an old lady. ha!
