Book Blogger Appreciation Week Meme

So I suppose it is a little late for this but I am going to do it anyway.

Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
Always. Whatever I can get at the time, but generally some chocolate or a spoonful of Nutella.
Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of
writing in books horrify you?
In books for classes.
How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears?
A scrap of anything on hand. Or I just remember where I am. I hate dog-ears, especially in my own books.
Laying the book flat open?
Yes, all the time.
Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
Fiction
Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy first. Audio books are okay if I have already read the book.
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?
At a point where the book is a little dull. I try for end of chapters though.
If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
Sometimes. Sometimes I just write it down to look up later.
What are you currently reading?
Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger
What is the last book you bought?
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (for my little sister)
Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
Multiple books... but only if they don't have my super interested. If I like a book, it is usually finished within 24 hours.
Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?
Wherever. Whenever.
Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?
Either. Series books don't leave you wondering about the characters. You also get to know the characters (which is why Hermione Granger is my best friend) but it is annoying when you have to wait for the next one to come out.
Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
Generally whatever I am reading at the time I love. On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta is a book I always come back to.
How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
Wherever they can fit in my bedroom. Series stay together but other than that.... there is no order.
