My Reading Habits | BookTag


While trying to search for ideas for bookish contents , I came across this tag where book bloggers and  book tubers answer a set of questions related to their reading habits. I had a great time learning the various reading quirks of my fellow bloggers and thought might as well do it myself.  No one has tagged me , I am (shamelessly) going to do it anyway . ðŸ˜›

And if you want , feel free to do it . I tag everyone. I would love to know your responses . 😊

 DO YOU HAVE A CERTAIN PLACE AT HOME FOR READING?

My bed. I usually read before going to sleep. I have noticed that reading puts me to sleep . Even when i don’t feel like sleeping , I still prefer my bed with a huge  mountain of pillows.

BOOKMARK OR RANDOM PIECE OF PAPER?

Bookmark .

CAN YOU JUST STOP READING OR DO YOU HAVE TO STOP AFTER A CHAPTER/ A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PAGES?

I usually stop after the end of a chapter. It freaks me out to abruptly stop in the middle of a chapter because I fear I would forget and may have to  start the chapter again. And life is too short to do that . 😛

DO YOU EAT OR DRINK WHILST READING?

No.  I may spoil the book if I eat or drink while reading. I am careless that way . I don't want to spill my food/ beverage in my book  as both are equally precious to me . 😛

MULTITASKING : MUSIC OR TV WHILST READING?

I can’t seem to focus if the music or TV is on. But I like having ambience sounds while reading.So, any music without lyrics is fine.

ONE BOOK AT A TIME OR SEVERAL?

I have recently developed this habit of reading two books. But then there are certain rules for this. I make sure the multiple books belong to different genre . And also, I read different formats . For instance, currently I am reading the paperback version of Strange the Dreamer and eBook format of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Genre wise, it also helps me distinguish and not overlap the plots as one is fantasy whereas the other is historical fiction.

READING AT HOME OR EVERYWHERE?

I usually read at home but I don’t mind reading outside.

READ OUT LOUD OR SILENTLY IN YOUR HEAD?

Read silently in my head.

DO YOU READ AHEAD OR SKIP PAGES?

Occasionally I do. If I am really curious to know the end , I tend to skim pages and go to the end as I get impatient . Also, when I don’t like a book and contemplating DNFing it, I skip pages to figure out the ending.

BREAKING THE SPINE OR KEEPING IT LIKE NEW?

I try to keep it new.

DO YOU WRITE IN YOUR BOOKS?

No, but I do write on my sticky notes /tabs while annotating my books.

WHO DO YOU TAG?

As I said before, I tag everyone.

TITLE: The Way of Kings   (Book 1 of THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE   series) AUTHOR: Brandon Sanderson PUBLICATION YEAR: 2010 GENRE: High Fantasy PAGE COUNT: 1252 FORMAT: Mass Market Paperback AVAILABLE   AT : amazon It took me almost a month to finish this mammoth of a book “ The Way of Kings “ by Brandon Sanderson . It was a huge commitment and   I enjoyed every bit of it. At first glance, you may feel a bit intimidated but I urge you to give it a try. It is totally worth your time. Throughout this whole month , I was so immersed in this story and its characters that I was constantly thinking about it even when I was not reading the book. I might have made atleast a million theories and multiple predictions about the story . Honestly, I have never been so involved in a story to this extent. This post may seem less like a review and more like me singing praises for this book. I a...

Book Review - THE HUNGER GAMES by Suzanne Collins

PUBLICATION YEAR: 2008 GENRE: Dystopian Fiction PAGE COUNT: 374 FORMAT: Paperback AVAILABLE AT : amazon If you happen to search for the top 10 book series to binge read, The Hunger Games trilogy is definitely going to feature in it. It was published way back in 2008 but I think it became popular with the subsequent release of its movies in 2012. Although I had not seen the movies , I knew a thing or two about the story. Luckily there were no major   spoilers   while going into this book. The story is about this girl Katniss who enters into a reality show called “ The Hunger Games” . The format of this game is a bit like “ Survival of the Fittest ” or “ The Last Man Standing ”. Two people – a boy and   a girl from each of the 12 districts of this place called Panem   are selected randomly every year to participate . Contestants are supposed to kill each other in order to win the coveted title. In addition to that, th...
