How do you read?
Keep safelyDo you borrow a lot of books from libraries?
no (give books away or donate)Do you dog ear a page?
nodo you read thick paperbacks with small print?
sometimes so I guess the answer is yesDo you have audiobooks?
yes a Kindle DX because it's 9.6 inches big so I can read a whole page at a time instead the few words on the tiny screen of a 6" Kindle. (I also an iPad.)Do you sometimes cry at the sad parts a need tissues?
Not right now because I only read on my Kindle DX or iPad because I've read all the books I wanted that were hardcover or softbound. do you read history books (not for school, for yourself)?
Not usually but sometimes I have to put reading aside to do a more important activity then when that's over I go back to the book.Do you have bookplates?
no. I get another cup of tea that is mine.Do you sometimes order hardcover books through the mail?
No.Do you mark your place by dog-earring or putting in a scrap of paper?
Putting in a scrap of paper; I like to keep my books looking as close to new as possible. Do you have a kindle?
No.Do you cheat on your books by reading more than one at a time?
I read many books at a time.Do you speed-read?
Never, unless it is a book i have to read for research for school or something. Do you eat snacks when you read?
do you ever feel tired of sitting and reading for long but then you smell your book and that bookish, old paper smell rejuvenates you and you go on reading?
Actually no but I just did it and you're right so ugh was I can say yes!
No, but then I don't much like the scent of old books.Do you read with music?
Never music with words, but very rarely with I do with classical music. Do you only read at home or do you bring your book everywhere you go and always fill your free time with reading?
Bring one everywhere.Do you feel like rap can resemble an audiobook of poetry?
Mhm, now that you mentioned it I think it can very well resemble audiobook poetry.
You have to ask a question.Do you read authors or individual books?
I started with reading individual books, lately I've found myself following select authors.

You don't have to ask a question, but then neither will I.

My original comment containing the rules was deleted, so I wouldn't blame anyone completely for not knowing that they have to ask a question. On the other hand, instead of letting them know politely what they should be doing, I wouldn't say it was rather pleasing to see that you just asked them to not play and finally refused to ask a question just because someone else did not. Mistakes happen, but it is not going to hurt you to correct them kindly. I understand you told them once, but that is not the way you treat a game.
I follow James Patterson and Jack Patterson. I've been reading James Patterson books since 2002 and Jack Patterson books since 2015. I believe I have all there books. If someone suggests a book and it sounds good to me then I'll borrow it from my local library. Read all the Harry Potter series and currently reading the new one called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Borrowed that from the library. It's a really great book and I'm at 77℅ right now. This is my fourth day reading. But I've read a few Dean Koontz books but I usually stick to James Patterson and Jack Patterson.
Also I read periodically throughout the day. My best time is in the morning and night and if I get time in the afternoon.
I'm can also be a quick reader, since I've been reading since I was 13 and I'm 34 now.
Do you read in car, train, plane or bus?
yes
yes
I listen to books while I'm on the computer, when I don't want to watch TV, and when I walk around town.

YES!! I constantly max out my library card (12 reserved at a time) but sometimes I dont read them all because I dont have time :-(
I usually read during the day , on a comfortable chair , with a cup of coffee
I can read anywhere ☺ as much as I prefer a comfy chair (I have a chair in the living room my family calls Jessica's reading chair) and good light, I have recently been reading on the train and in bed when I should be sleeping.
I read usually in my bed when I'm supposed to be doing homework because it's quiet. Sometimes I read in the living room because my dad wants to spend time with me.
I read anywhere :D on rocks ,in trees ,anywhere as long as I got a book lol
i cant read anywhere. i need silence, unperturbed silence. i cant be in the middle of a great plot twist with my sisters making jokes and asking me stuff in the background.
