I always do, I promise! Thank you so much!

Q: Book Selfie! Snap a picture of you and your current read. 

Excuse the pulled-back, frizzy hair ;)

I'm reading Skylark by Meagan Spooner! I have Shadowlark, so I figured I'd read Skylark before I read Shadowlark, you know? :)

Q: How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?

Funny, I was just talking about this one Twitter. My rule with books:

If I deem it worthy enough to START IT, it deserves the chance to be FINISHED.

I never, ever start a book and NOT finish it. DNF reviews? Do not exist with me. If I give a book one star - it's because I disliked it THAT MUCH. 

I might hate a book while reading it, but if I started it, I'll finish it. Maybe not in the same sitting, in the same day, in the same week, in the same month! But I will finish it.

Q: What do you do with your books after you are done reading them? 

That's easy! If it's a print book, I either 

- Keep it

- Give it away on the blog/Twitter/Facebook

- Give it to a friend

- Let friends/bloggers borrow it

- Donate it to ARCycling

- Put it off for trade on YA Book Exchange

If it's a eARC or Kindle ebook, I just leave it on my Kindle. 

And you all? What do you do with your books, once you read them?

Q: Book Vacay: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? (Where do you like to go to read other then your home) 

Ummm... I don't really read anywhere else BUT my home. Ideally, I'd love to read in a shaded forest, like... this one:

Or, a window seat:

But those are my IDEAL places to read, NOT in my house ;)

Q: What is your guilty pleasure as far as reading? Is it a genre, or is it a certain type of book?

Hmm... well, I guess it's time for me to come clean for ONE of my guilty reading pleasures! Ready for it?

I LOVE historical romance books!

:D

I usually don't enjoy adult romance books, but historical romance - like, the Regency era, Victorian era, etc. - is one of my favorite genres. It IS my favorite genre of the adult age level.

So, what about you? What's one of your guilty reading pleasures?

Q: Activity! Hopefully warm weather for most of us is here soon…so tell us about your favorite outdoor reading spot. Or take a picture.

It isn't warm in Maryland right now, but it will be in a few weeks. YAY spring! I don't have a picture right now, but I love reading in the shaded part of the deck in my backyard. I am totally a nature person, so I like being surrounded by plants and flowers and whatnot. There are several trees around, a few bushes, and various gardens that my mother and I like to tend. So, everything is usually really calm and serene and SUNNY when I go to read on the deck. Not right now though. It's like, thirty degrees Fahrenheit over here. *shivers*

So, what about you? Where do you like to read?

Q: What is the last book that kept you up late into the night just to finish it?

 

So... here's a nice truth to put out there:

 

I've never stayed up late to finish a book.

 

Never, ever. It's not to say that there are not books that are good enough to make me want to do so. Trust me, there have been numerous occasions in which all I wanted to do was finish a book, and then go to sleep. But here's the thing.

 

* I share a room with my sister. Well, up until August 2012. And then she moved out to live in at her college. I'm 11 months younger, so I'll be doing the same in August 2013 (most likely). So, she is gone now, but before, I couldn't do that to her (I usually read in our room).

 

* I have a strict sleeping policy. I have a problem with not getting at least 6-7 hours of sleep. As a teenager, I should be getting about 8 hours. Even with homework and projects - if things aren't done before 11:30, too bad. Because I get up at 6:15, and I want my sleep. But usually, I do not procrastinate, so homework is never an issue. Reading, however, takes time, and I do not allow myself time to read, or do anything but sleep, after 11:30.

 

What about you?
