Today I stole another Meme. This time from Marie at The Boston Bibliophile and SFP at Pages Turned.
Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? my fingernails
Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you? I used to all the time, but I have become lazy.
How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears? I dog-ear and mostly use pictures of my wife and daughter.
Laying the book flat open? for brief intervals only.
Fiction, Non-fiction, or both? mostly fiction, but I wouldn't be complete without non-fiction.
Hard copy or audiobooks? Books only please
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? I don't think I've ever intentionally stopped at the end of chapter. Seems a strange way to think about reading. The end of a chapter isn't the end of the story, so what's the difference?
If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away? I've never looked up a word from a book I've been reading. If I don't know the word, it doesn't matter to me. Plus, I don't like reading books in which the author uses 'fancy' words when simple ones will do.
What are you currently reading? The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny and Justice Hall by Laurie King
What is the last book you bought? A stack of Little Golden Books for my daughter.
Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time? No matter how much I try to read a couple books at once, I always end up dedicating my time to one book and one book only.
Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read? My couch at night.
Do you prefer series books or stand alone books? series. It allows for fun character development.
Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over? I have stopped trying after having many loved ones throw books at me.
How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?) The books I collect, I categorize by author's last name. My other books, I categorize by author only.

Aw, your little girl is already on her way to having her own library. Love it :)
her library is growing at much faster pace than my own!
If I'd been totally honest in my responses my fingernails would've gotten a mention as well!
LOL, fingernails :-)
I used to do that- up until a year ago. Then I just stopped. Trust me, crackers taste better.
