Reading Quirks

Hi friends,

I always love spending a day with you! I think all readers have reading quirks or habits. How we handle our books, when we read, where we read, and how we save our spot, of which I have numerous ways.

The traditional bookmark. My girls and I have an affinity for Llamas. It all started when a dear writing friend flew in for some hang out and write time, but her luggage was lost. We went shopping and she found the most adorable pajamas with Llamas all over them and saying “No drama Llama.” We cracked up. Ever since then, we’ve collected Llama items. This awesome bookmark was a gift from my daughter Kayla.

And, it matches a favorite coffee reading mug.

Using a bookmark isn’t very quirky or unique, but I have other ways to mark where I stopped reading for the night. Not that any goof books are easy to put down, especially Karen’s. I’m adoring it! And, in case you’re wondering, yes, I have multiple books going at the same time. I often have a couple of fiction novels and a couple of non-fiction titles.

I love sticky notes. They not only hold my page, but I can make notes on them of parts I really loved or questions I can’t wait to have answered. Hence, hard to put down!

Last but not least…

I highlight sections that really speak to me and not just in non-fiction books. That’s the beauty of Christian fiction, there are so many faith lessons in the characters’ lives. The fact I highlight books and underline things horrifies my sweet friend Joy. Actually, I think everything I do other than the bookmark horrifies her.

Reader Question:
How about you? What are some of your reading habits or quirks?

Blessings,
