🍷 Reading Habits Book Tag 🍷

Hey everyone! I hope you are all staying safe, healthy, and social distancing! We are slowly settling into our new normal and getting a routine down! I’m reading a lot more than last month. I even finished two books in a day! I hope that I will be able to bring you guys more reviews and thoughts about upcoming books!

But for today, I saw this tag over at Lala’s Book Reviews and it looked fun so I decided to try it! The creator of this tag is The Book Jazz!

🍷 Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

I usually read in bed or in the chair in the living room! But I basically read where ever and when ever my kid will let me!

🍷 Bookmark or random piece of paper?

I read mostly e-books, but I would use anything as a bookmark.

🍷 Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/a certain amount of pages?

I hate not ending on a chapter. I will do whatever I can to end at either a break in the chapter or the end of a chapter. However, I do read while on hold at work, so then I have to end whenever who I’m holding for comes to the phone.

🍷 Do you eat or drink while reading?

I will usually drink coffee or wine if it’s night time, but nothing specific.

🍷 Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?

No. My husband will have the tv on while I’m reading and I try to tune it out, but I like it silent.

🍷 One book at a time or several at once?

Depends. It is usually one, unless I’m listening to an audiobook at work. I’m normally listening to true crime podcasts though.

🍷 Reading at home or everywhere?

Everywhere. As I said, I read while I’m on hold at work, I read while I’m eating, I read on the way home. I will read any second I can.

🍷 Reading out loud or silently in your head?

Silently. I loathe reading out loud. I was the kid in school who counted ahead to see what paragraph I’d have to read and recite it.

🍷 Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

I have been known to read ahead because I couldn’t wait to see what happened, but it’s not something I normally do.

🍷 Breaking the spine or keeping it new?

I try to keep it new. But really my physical books are just for show.

🍷 Do you write in your books?

Nope. But I love highlighting on my kindle!

🍷 Readabits Questions 🍷

🍷 When do you find yourself reading?

Mostly when putting my kid to bed and at night. Lately with my reduced hours I’m getting a good amount of reading in in the morning!

🍷 What is your favorite setting to read?

In my chair, blinds open, blanket and fuzzy socks, coffee or wine, and raining or storming outside.

🍷 What do you do first – read or watch?

I try to always read first!

🍷 What form do you prefer? Audiobook, e-book, or physical?

E-book because I can pull it up anywhere on my phone!

🍷 Do you have a unique habit when you read?

I always read reviews before I start a book. It never makes me not read it or sways my opinion. I’ll usually read 1-2 five star and one star reviews then 2-3 three star reviews.

🍷 Do book series have to match?

I like them to match! Like I said, physical books are just to look pretty.

What are your reading habits? Do any of yours match mine? If you decide to do this tag, link me so I can see your answers!

Until next time…
