01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?

Nope, I don't. Ever. Reading is more like a "snacking" activity itself. I tend to snack more when I'm watching something.

02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you?

I can never ever mark on my non-textbook books =)) it's horrifying to see underlined sentences in a book! oh my...

03. How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? Laying the book flat open?

Bookmarks, tissues, piece of papers, pens, pencils. I try not to lay the book flat open because it kinda wrinkles the pages and stretches out the binding... *freaks*

04. Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?

98% fiction. I couldn't name a non-fiction book I've read lately...

05. Hard copy or audiobooks?

Hard copy or e-books. Although I like the idea of audiobooks I can't stay concentrated. I get lost in my own thoughts or eventually fall asleep when I listen to audiobooks.

06. 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?

If I really like the book I tend to wait until I find a place where things go slightly slower :) But I usually hate leaving at the end of chapters, because I almost always want to know what happens next!

07. If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? Write it down to look it up later? Just try to infer what it means from the rest of the sentence, and keep going?

I infer what it means...Most of the times. But if it's word that comes up frequently I try to at least google it. When I was reading Twilight the word "grimace" was used so frequently I had to look it up. Now I know what it means and why it was used so frequently in a book with Edward Cullen in it.

08. What are you currently reading?

Several different books. But the latest one is The Dark Room by Minette Walters. I bought that book from a sale in our college campus 4 years ago. It's been sitting in my library since then LOL.

09. What is the last book you bought?

I haven't bought a book since Breaking Dawn LOL! E-books ftw!

10. Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can read more than one at a time?

I used to be a one book at a time person in the past, but now I can read several books (and never finish any of them).

11. Do you like re-reading books?

I've done it for my own novels and awakencordy's novels, but never done an actual re-reading of a book I like. I partially re-read Alice in Wonderland (I was a little kid when I first read it, I wanted to see how it was from an adult's perspective), Time Traveler's Wife (I know the chapters by heart!) and New Moon (because of the movie and my sudden interest in Bella/Jacob), but other than those, nope.

If you want to do it, but too lazy to copy and edit the thing, here's the code:
