What are your quirky reading habits?

Shawshank, December 2, 2020December 2, 2020

Can you only read whilst death metal plays softly in the background? Or does Mars have to be in retrograde?

What are your quirky reading habits? I want to know. I don’t think any of my book habits are quirky.

When I read, it has to be quiet. Quiet. If the TV is on, I can’t read. I’ll sit and watch TV. I’m very easily distracted. So I usually read at night. Shady Acres goes to bed pretty early, so that’s always a bonus.

I rarely use a book mark. I’ll just fold over a page, yet I won’t crack the spine. Some of you are probably fanning yourselves right now at the mention of folding over a page. The next point will give you the vapours!

If the book is begging for it, I’ll write/highlight, whatever. You should see my copy of House of Leaves. It’s been well loved! I also randomly added stickers too.

Book appreciation – House of Leaves

April 16, 2021

Crystal is rereading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. This, contrary to my post history, is my absolute favourite book. Ever. You have to start your admiration of it by the cover. You simply cannot judge this book by the cover. You can’t even read reviews if it on…
