I've seen this game played in a lot of groups and thought I'd post it here too.
In this game, you get to know others' reading habits and how they handle reading and books.
Basically you ask a question, such as "Do you judge books by their covers?" The next person who posts might say, "Not really." And then they must ask something else. It could be anything about books at all.

I'll start:

Do you shelve your books alphabetically on your shelf?


message 2: by [deleted user] (new)

No, I shelf then by author. :)
Do you keep your 'currently reading' book with you always?


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

No.
Do you occasionally skip ahead to the part you're curious about?


message 4: by Rachel , The Attentive One (new)

Rachel  (APCB Reviews) (gr8rach) | 8842 comments Mod
Yes.

Do you skip to the end sometimes?


message 5: by [deleted user] (new)

Do you choose books with bright or cute covers because of that?


message 6: by [deleted user] (new)
