Library Hospital Survey
"When and where do you read?" Last night one of the ladies in my book club asked this question of everyone in the room. It was fun and interesting to find out when and where each lady finds time to read. Several read before they turned out the light each night, one lady said her favorite time to read was right after she wakes up on a Saturday morning. Another loves to read while walking the fields of her property.
When I worked full time I used to find time only on the weekends or evenings to read, unless I listened to an audio book during my daily commute. Now that I work form home and spend most of days taking care of my daughter my reading time is random and continually evolving. Currently I read in the late afternoons while my daughter is napping and once my work is done for the day. But I get my best reading done in the evening after she has gone to bed and before I go myself, or on Sunday afternoons.
When and were do you read? Leave a comment and let me know.

Library Hospital Survey: Book Bindings
I was organizing my books on my bedroom book shelf to make room for the latest addition when I got to thinking about the difference between hardback and paperback. It seems more and more of the "classics" are only available in paperback, with the occasional exception.Personally, I wish all my books were in hardback... actually, let me revise that statement: I wish all my classics were in hardback. (One exception to the hardback rule are novels like Agatha Christie... some how they are just better in paperback, in my opinion.)
However, I am not always able to obtain hardback copies. Because they are either not available or what copies are available are just too expensive.
What about you? What category do you fall under?
1. I always buy hardback, no matter the cost. It's a crime to own/read/print a book in anything less than a traditional binding.
2. I never buy hardback, paperback is so much cheaper and easier to read.
3. I buy certain books in hardback and others in paperback, it depends on the book, but I don't have a preference.
4. I buy certain books in hardback and others in paperback, it depends on the book, but I try to buy hardback when possible.
5. None of the above. (Please expound.)
According to this little survey I would fall into category #4. Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.

What Is Your Reading Personality?
I found this quiz online and decided to take it, although I kind of already knew what I would turn out to be... An eclectic reader.
According to this quiz I "read for entertainment but also to expand [my] mind. [I'm] open to new ideas and new writers, and [am] not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors..."
I tend to read whatever book strikes my mood, whether that means selecting my next book to open for the fist time or deciding which of the three books I am currently reading to pick up at that moment.
Do you know what your reading personality is? Leave a comment and let me know.

Library Hospital Survey
Bookplates...
A) Crime against all things printed.
B) More appropriate than writing ones name inside.
C) A must for all bookworms and bibliophiles.
What do you think? Also are there any exceptions -- some books that shouldn't have them, others that should?
