HARDBACK OR TRADE PAPERBACK OR MASS MARKET PAPERBACK?
I always end up breaking all my spines, so I prefer having my bookshelf filled with hardbacks that don’t show the evidence. Plus they tend to hold up better after sharing them over and over.
AMAZON OR BRICK AND MORTAR?
Amazon, so much cheaper!
LOCALLY OWNED BOOKSHOP OR BIG NAME CHAIN STORE?
Local bookshops are my favorite, but the hours of our local ones are meh.
BOOKMARK OR DOG-EAR?
Either, although I generally have a bookmark on hand! I’m a book highlighter and note-taker so there’s no ruining a book for me.
ALPHABETIZE BY AUTHOR OR ALPHABETIZE BY TITLE OR RANDOM?
At home, I arrange by height.
KEEP, THROW AWAY, OR SELL?
I keep 5 stars books to re-read and share, but otherwise I donate or fill up my local Free Little Libraries.
KEEP DUST JACKET OR TOSS IT?
Keep it!
READ WITH DUST JACKET OR REMOVE IT?
I take it off to read it otherwise it gets destroyed in my bag.
SHORT STORY OR NOVEL?
Novel. 100%.
COLLECTION (SHORT STORIES BY SAME AUTHOR) OR ANTHOLOGY (SHORT STORIES BY DIFFERENT AUTHORS)?
I can’t say that I’ve read either. *Adds to reading list for the year*
STOP READING WHEN TIRED OR AT CHAPTER BREAKS?
Chapter breaks. What kind of savage stops in the middle of a chapter?!
“IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT” OR “ONCE UPON A TIME”?
Once upon a time.
BUY OR BORROW?
Borrow, unless it’s a favorite book/author.
NEW OR USED?
If I have the option, I’ll go for new.
BUYING CHOICE: BOOK REVIEWS, RECOMMENDATION OR BROWSE?
I hate browsing bookstores because I want them all. I love a good recommendation from someone who gets me.
TIDY ENDING OR CLIFFHANGER?
Tidy ending, unless it’s a series.
MORNING, AFTERNOON OR NIGHTTIME READING?
Yes, please!
SINGLE VOLUME OR SERIES?
I love a good series.

The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter are tied in my book.
