10 Reading Quirks

Erica here:

I don't remember learning how to read, but I do know it was an epoch in my life. From the time I was little, I was never without a book.

I do remember being put in the remedial reading group in third grade, and my mother being stunned, since I read all the time.

That hasn't changed. I am all about books, reading, fiction, learning, research...books, books, books!!!

I am NEVER without at least one book going. Sometimes two or three. And I have a handful of other reading quirks, too:

Currently reading this one
1. I never peek at the end of the book.
2. I never write in a book.
3. I read fiction on my kindle, non-fiction in print.
4. I love mysteries, but I never try to figure out whodunnit. I just let the story unfold.
5. If there is a choice between a book or the movie made based on the book, I will always say the book is better.
6. I am not a bandwagon reader. If a book is super popular, I put off reading it. (I am just now reading the first Harry Potter book.)
7. If I find an author I like, I want to read everything they ever wrote.
8. I have some 'auto buys.' Lee Child, Craig Johnson, Michael Connelly, and for years, Dick Francis. I have pre-ordered more than six months in advance when my favorite authors have books coming out.
9. I tend to read more male authors than female authors. No clue why.
10. I have more than 1000 books in my house right now, and that's after culling through a TON of them.

Currently reading this one, too
Bonus quirk...I am a re-reader. I have many books that I have read more than a dozen times.

Just finished this one for about the twentieth time...not my signed
British first edition, but the one on my kindle. How about you? Do you have reading quirks? Do we share any reading quirks?
