BBAW: Reading Meme

Today is the third day of BBAW and gosh, I have so much fun visiting blogs and meeting new friends! I have no idea how many new blogs I have added to my Google Reader but I am not going to think about that.

So what activity has lined up for today? A reading meme! I hope you enjoy reading my answers because I have fun answering them!

Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Sometimes. It depends where I am reading; I usually snack more at home. My all-time favourite snack has to be Lays potato chips!

Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you? I don't mark or write on my books (unless they are school textbooks, haha). But if I want to jot something on my books, I will use a post-it tag because it is so convenient (I can always remove it whenever I want and still leave my books clean).

How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? I always use a bookmark. I have a collection of them so why not make good use of them? However, I would leave the beautiful ones out because I hate to dirty/wrinkle them.

Laying the book flat open? Depends if I am in a hurry or whether or not if I have a bookmark in hand.

Fiction, Non-fiction, or both? Definitely fiction.

Hard copy or audiobooks? Hard copy. I tried an audiobook once and decided that it doesn't work for me.

Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point? I tend to read to the end of chapters, otherwise to the end of a page. I just can't hang it dangling in between passages!

If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Not right away, but I will jot down the word so I can look up the meaning in the dictionary next time.

What are you currently reading? I'm currently reading Wait Until Twilight by Sang Pak and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling.

What is the last book you bought? I bought three books actually. They are Hunting Ground by Patricia Briggs, Covet by J.R. Ward and Living with the Dead by Kelley Armstrong.

Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time? I'd prefer to read one book at a time, but there are times that I read two books, like I'm currently doing.

Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read? No. I read whenever I can, and I'd prefer to read in a place where it is quiet.

Do you prefer series books or stand alone books? Both are great to me, although I'd lean more towards stand alone books.

Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over? Yes! John Harwood and Mo Hayder!

How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?) Once upon a time, I used to organize my books by genre but now with a few mountain high TBR piles (thanks to all the great recommendations by fellow bookbloggers), I have to sort them under 'read' or 'unread'.

Don't forget to leave me a link so I can read your answers!
