Tag – Get to Know Me

Jackie Nolan
I saw this tag on For the Love of Books and thought it would be a good idea for my readers to get to know me a little better!  🙂 
Books: 
Can you stop reading at any time, or does it have to be a certain page or chapter? 
I usually try to stop at the next chapter if at all possible.  I don’t like stopping in the middle of a chapter. 
Do you eat or drink anything whilst reading?
I don’t usually eat anything while I’m reading because I don’t want to get anything on the pages of my paperbacks or have my fingers dirty while swiping the Kindle screen.  I do drink while I’m reading though.  My favorite is iced coffee.  
Can you read listening to music or watching TV?
No.  I have to have almost complete silence while I’m reading.  I’m very easily distracted and end up reading the same few sentences or paragraph over and over if there is any noise in the background.
One book at a time, or several at once?
I have to read one book at a time.  I’ve tried to read multiple at once and it was just confusing to me. I couldn’t keep the plot lines and characters straight.  
Reading at home or everywhere?
I read everywhere. 🙂  Mostly at home though.
Reading out loud or silently in your head?
Silently in my head.  I don’t like reading out loud.
Do you read ahead, or skip pages?
I don’t usually read ahead or skip pages unless I’m struggling with the book and am trying to skim to see if it gets any better.
Breaking the spine or keeping it new?
I try my very best not to break the spine.  If it happens, it’s okay though.  
Do you write books, or just read them?
I just read them.
