Reading Habits Questionnaire....

(Questions taken from:   http://book-memes.livejournal.com/59645.html )

1.  Do you snack while you read?  If so, favorite reading snack?
Not usually, but if I do....Crackers.  All different kinds.
2. What is your favorite drink while reading?
Hot Chocolate.  <3
3. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?
*Cringes*  I can write on anything.  Napkins, scrap paper, my hand....But Books?  No way, Jose!  I'm not getting pen nor pencil anywhere near a book!  
4.  How do you keep your place while reading a book?  Bookmark?  Dog-ear?  Laying the book flat open?
Depends.  If I'm just stepping away for a second,  sometimes I'll just leave it facing down while open.  However, Usually, no matter how long I'm away, I'll either rely on Bookmarks, Scraps of Paper, or Memory.
5.  Fiction, Non-Fiction, Both?
BOTH!  I Love Both with a Burning Passion but I think that I like Non-Fiction slightly more.
6.  Are you a person who tends to read to the end of a chapter, or can you stop anywhere?
I can stop anywhere at anytime, but if I'm not feeling as distracted as usual, I like to make it a goal to reach the end of the chapter before stopping.
7.  Are you a person to throw a book across the room or on the floor if the author irritates you?
*Gasps*  Oh, the Horror!  Who would ever do such a thing?!  BOOK ABUSE!  *Sobs*
8.  If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop and look it up right away?
It depends....  Do I have a dictionary or a computer laying around by me?  ....If not I'll just try to figure it out by the clues given in the text surrounding the word in question.
And if I still can't figure it out....I move on & forget about it!
9. What are you currently reading?
Uh, well, technically I'm reading about 13 books & several fanfiction, but since I've put practically everything on Hiatus, I'll say:
* "The Paradise Prophecy" by Robert Browne. 
* "Angels:  Opposing Viewpoints" by Deanne Durrett.
10. What is the last book you bought?
* "The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land" by Thomas Asbridge.
*"Bulfinch's Greek and Roman Mythology: The Age of Fable" by Thomas Bulfinch.
11.  Are you a Person that reads one book at a time, or can you read more than one?  Are you kidding me?! Reading More than One is the Only Mode I can function on!  So many books, so little time!  ....I also have to have variety, you know?
12.  Do you have a favorite time/place to read?
At Night.  Either my Bedroom or my Computer Room.

or during the day by a shady tree, or at the beach in a nice shady spot, or in the library.
13.  Do you prefer series books or stand-alones?  
I'm Indifferent.  It honestly doesn't matter to me as long as the story is good.  I do, however, feel pressured into reading more of the books in a series, and so, if the books aren't at the library & I don't have the necessary cash to buy them, I'll tend to avoid them until I can.  
14.  Is there a specific book or author you find yourself recommending over and over?
"Between Shades of Gray" by Ruta Sepetys.  (NOT to be confused with "50 Shades of Grey".)
15.  How do you organize your books?  By Genre, Title, Author's Last Name, etc. 
Well, I used to organize them based on Genre....Now that I've moved, have less space, & have less of my books with me,  they're kind of just thrown all together.  :P
