INTRO: Roll Call! 🎤 [pinned]

1. I prefer to be called Blair (it's my middle name anyway). She/her. 
   
   
2. I do, and that would be The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. 
   
   
3. I take it by moods! One of my favorite experiences was reading Harry Potter books late at night with either a flashlight OR my lil' LED light I'd use to play my Gameboy Color. Some of my best reading experiences have been in independent book stores where I'm browsing to decide which books I'd want to buy, but ANY AND ALL LIBRARIES are a total 💯. 
   
   
4. At home, typically late at night. 
   
   
5. Nope, I'm not a big "OMG! DON'T TELL ME ANY SPOILERS!!!" person. For me, it's not all about the destination, but the experience (and I might still find something interesting in the middle, even if I have an idea as to how it's gonna end). 
   
   
6. Deliberate (via annotations if this is something for school/interest). In college, some of my marks were not so deliberate, like the time I spilled champagne on an English textbook AND my laptop on accident.
   
   
7. Literally anything I can find. Envelopes, post-its are common, and even receipts.
   
   
8. Yes! During my K-12 era, it was totally the The Harry Potter Series. Now that I'm a teacher, my favorite one that I've read more than five times over the course of my entire life is The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I read it for the first time when I was twelve, again in the 11th Grade, again in college, and I've re-read it every time I use it again in my classroom. 

1. Hana, she/they. Honestly, I won't care which pronouns are used, I will answer to most and often interchange them for myself time to time. 

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.

1. You can call me Goblin :) She/her
   
   
2. I do not, but the earliest book I remember reading and enjoying was 'The Worst Witch' by Jill Murphy
   
   
3. Oh, this is a difficult one. I like to read, but I am also quite dyslexic. I make a point to read from a book at least once a week, but I do most of my reading by listening to audiobooks. Unfortunately, audiobooks can be expensive, and when my spouse and I were just starting out we were still living with my mom and did not have a lot of money to spend. M, my spouse, bought one of their favorite books (the first of The Dresden Files) and we spent a couple evenings on my mom's porch, me crafting and M reading out loud.
   
   
4. Mostly on days off, so I have time to wade through the alphabet soup of dyslexia and focus enough to enjoy it.
   
   
5. No, thankfully. 
   
   
6. Tea stains sometimes, but I try my best not to.
   
   
7. Is it flat and small enough to fit in the book? Yes. Is it clean? Yes. Is it needed in this exact moment? No. It's perfect.
   
   
8. My heart is still broken by JKR, but I re-listened to 'The Harry Potter' series so many times.
   

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   My name is Jinnifer; and I'm a woman, but I don't care about pronouns.
   
   
2. Do you remember the first book that you read?
   No, because I assume it was some kind of 'learning how to read' type of book. But I do remember the first book I ever finished by myself without assistance, which was Dear Milli by Maurice Sendak (which was darrrrkkkkk!)
   
   
3. The best reading experience you've ever had (I'm thinking this can extend
   to not just being absorbed within a specific story, but the location you
   were literally reading in and the ViBeS.)
   I don't know, honestly. I do get a little kick out of it when a book makes me crack (or tear) up in public though.
   
   
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...?
   On the subway; and SOMETIMES at home, but it's hard there.
   
   
5. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie)
   ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not?
   No. You were gonna find out anyways.
   
   
6. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your
   books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or
   food crumbs and etc.
   Sometimes.
   
   
7. What do you use as a bookmark?
   Whatever is around lol.
   
   
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?
   I really don't think there is, but I know I've read The Razor's Edge by M. Somerset Maugham several times.
   

1. y'all can call me Zan and I don't care what pronouns you use
   
   
2. First book was probably those Charlie and Lola picture books. 
   
   
3. I read Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang after finding a paperback of it in the dollar shelf at the used bookstore down the street from me. It was a gem to find and I can't believe I got it for a dollar. 
   
   
4. I sadly do not get to read as often now but normally I read while I'm eating or before going to sleep. 
   
   
5. Knowing the ending just makes it easier to put down. For example, I've been in the middle of Good Omens for like four months because I saw the show and don't feel the same urgency to know what happens. 
   
   
6. I had this Peanuts comic collection in this one massive books and I always read it every morning for about two years while I ate cereal as a kid. There is milk or rice crispies on like every other page. 
   
   
7. unpopular opinion: I don't really like bookmarks. They fall out or get ripped or sometimes rip the page, so I tend to just dog-ear everything. It depends on the book though. some books I own are really, really nice editions so I don't dog-ear those. 
   
   
8. There's a bunch of Sherlock Holmes stories I've read over and over, and crime-fiction is the genre I re-read the most. Once to see what happens, once to see the clues, another time to see the clues, and a few times as the years go by to re-live the excitement. 

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   Justin or J. He/Him
   
   
2. Do you remember the first book that you read?
   Probably 'But no Elephants.' I'm not sure if I read it, or just memorized the book as it was being read to me as a child.
   
   
3. The best reading experience you've ever had (I'm thinking this can extend to not just being absorbed within a specific story, but the location you were literally reading in and the ViBeS.)
   I'm not really sure about this one. Probably sitting in the armchair in my living room. If I get a quiet day and start reading there, that's usually where I'll stay for the next few hours.
   
   
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 
   Usually before I go to bed.
   
   
5. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie) ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? 
   It's not the destination, but the journey.
   
   
6. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc.
   I've written corrections that were missed during editing. Once I even renumbered pages that were printed out of sequence.
   
   
7. What do you use as a bookmark? 
   Whatever is handy nearby. Receipts and business cards are my favorites.
   
   
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?
   Probably 'Patriots'. Maybe 'Treasure Island'.

1.) Your preferred name and pronouns.

My name is Kelly :) (she/her)

2.) Do you remember the first book that you read?

I don't think I remember the first book I read overall, but I do know that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was the first long chapter book I ever read when I was six. 

3.) The best reading experience you've ever had.

This past summer I used to take a book and a blanket to the park I work near downtown and I would read on my lunch break while an orchestra practiced, sometimes people would sing along with them. Laying in the grass with the sun peaking through the trees with a good book is just my favorite thing, the hour never felt long enough. 

4.) When do you usually read? 

I usually read later at night, sometimes on weekends or during my lunch breaks. I used to read a lot more when I was in school, but I've found myself reading less and less as I get older. I've been trying to get myself back into it this past year and working on my attention issues, so I'm happy to find this group!

5.) Has knowing the ending of a book ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? 

I try really hard not to spoil the endings of things whether it be books, movies, or television. If I know how it ends, I find myself feeling less invested in the story - and I guess less excited as I read. I'll usually read the book before I watch the movie as well, I just find that I prefer to get a sense of the story how it was written first before I watch an interpretation of it. 

6.) Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? 

Sometimes I'll underline quotes I like, or leave notes in the margins, sometimes definitions of words I may have had to look up. I go back and forth on this, really - signed books I typically won't touch, but regular paperbacks I'm more inclined to write in. 

7.) What do you use as a bookmark? 

I have a bookmark I bought from an artist on Etsy, it's black watercolor mountains layered on top of each other. The artist mainly does digital work now, so I'm glad I ordered it when I had the chance because it's really simple and beautiful. 

8.) Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?

I've read tons and tons of books more than five times, I was reading a lot of Harry Potter of course, as well as Sarah Dessen like every other middle school girl in the mid 2000s. I read books over again pretty often, I do the same with movies and television as well - there's just something so comforting about discovering stories and characters that you love and getting the chance to come back to them whenever you'd like.  

1. Online I go by R and my pronouns are they/them 
   
   
2. I'm not sure about the first book but it was definitely something by Jacqueline Wilson or it was Dork Diaries
   
   
3. Honestly whenever I find a nice candle and playlist that fits my book perfectly I can never get enough.
   
   
4. I read if I can throughout the day but I mostly read at night 
   
   
5. the ending totally counts, if a book doesn't have a good ending I simply won't read iy 
   
   
6. I annotate my books heavily, I write,  I highlight, I stick post-its in there but even if it's not deliberate I always leave something bc I'm just really not all that co-ordinated                
7. I use anything and everything as a bookmark although I recently ordered two new ones so hopefully they'll come into use
8. I dont think so honestly, I reread books a maximum of two times.
   

1. Chloe and she/her 
2. sadly not, but the first that stuck with me were the Roald Dahl books and the Paddington books
3. I'd have to say any reading experience in the summer is amazing for me, because the scenery can really help immerse you into the book and relax you, even if you get slightly sun burnt.
4. I prefer reading throughout the entire day so i can focus on the book, but i usually read on my journeys on the train or in the car as that's pretty comfortable too!
   
   
5. I normally will let the curiosity get the better of me with most books and peak at the very last sentence of a book, however I've never done this with a book i wasn't already mid-reading
6. nope, i hate writing in books unless i have to for course work. I like try and preserve them
   
   
7. Anything and everything, normally a table or anything I'm already holding at that time i dont mind bending pages, but it does depend on the book!
   
   
8. I personally don't enjoy rereading books, but if i were to reread a book, it would probably be Flowers in the Attic due to how disturbing and shocking it was

1. nova she/they!! 

6. i love marking up my books!! unless it's a special copy but even then i just buy another copy in order to mark it up also im a very messy person and that, sadly, doesn't stop at how i treat my books

8. i have read a lot of books more than 5 times when i was younger i read almost excessively to the point where i would really quickly outpace the books i was given and just reread the ones i had already gone through. i will say that some of the books ive recently reread after reading them like. 5 times already: we are the ants by shaun david hutchinson, hero by perry moore, the great gatsby by f. scott fitzgerald

Your preferred name and pronouns.- Raina and She/Her

1. Hunter Any Pronouns
   
   
2. Unfortunately I do not.
   
   
3. I love reading outside and it is so cute to sit in a tree and read.
   
   
4. I actually usually read in school since I usually have time after I finished my work. 
   
   
5. No, I have seen the Hunger Games movies a lot and I still read the book. 
   
   
6. I always say I will but then I don't because I don't want to mess the book up.                             
7. I use a book mark that I made.                                                                                                     
8. There is not but I hope I will reread some books.

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   jaya, she/her
2. Do you remember the first book that you read?
   i don't really remember the first book i read but i remember reading little red riding hood when i was little and the book came with finger puppets so when i read the book, i used to act them out with the puppets.
3. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 
   i usually read at home, in bed, before i go to sleep but when im really immersed in a book and i can't put it down, i'll spend the whole day reading it. sometimes i also bike down to a river near my house to read but sometimes i get distracted when i do that.
4. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie) ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? 
   no. in fact, for a long time i would read the last page of every book i got before i read it.
5. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc.
   i've annotated one book (not including ones i've had to annotate for school) and it kind of made the read less enjoyable because of all the pauses to write my thoughts down. however, i am a bit messy, so my books are lucky if they don't end up with at least one food stain.
6. What do you use as a bookmark? 
   i have two actual bookmarks but they are both currently in books that i have paused reading so i just use whatever i find. a pen, a receipt, a candy wrapper, etc.

1. Everyone calls me T or Nix, but I'm fine with both. 
   
   
2. The first book that I read was There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Bat
   
   
3. The best reading experience I've had was in middle school. I just switched middle schools and ended up in our library during my lunch break. I loved to read and needed a breather from the time I've already been there. I searched all the shelves in the library and finally found a book that caught my eye. The cover of it was dark gray and red, the cover of it had Russian type palaces on it. It was the book Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. I picked up that book and started to read it immediately. I was one of the many few in the library and it was wonderful. This day was very peaceful to me. 
   
   
4. I read just about anywhere I can get the chance. I read at home, in the bathroom, at work, in the car, etc. 
   
   
5. It doesn't make me feel some type of way. If someone told me the ending of a really good book, It sometimes makes me want to read it more. It all depends on my mood for that time. 
   
   
6. I tab my non-smut books like crazy. I want to remember why I felt a certain way about a scene. I don't tab my smut filled books, just so most of my friends don't know what to expect when/if they borrow a book from me. 
   
   
7. I used these tiny swords as bookmarks. Sometimes I use just random things around me as well (pens, pencils, earrings, a choker, etc.) 
   
   
8. I've read Shadow and Bone more than five times, and a few wattpad books from the past that I can no longer remember the names of. My younger self read a lot of fanfiction about certain groups or celebrities. 

1. Leah she/her

1. Matt   He/Him

2. No. I've been racking my brain recently trying to remember. It was about monsters. I remember reading the whole series that summer and even writing the author. Man, I wish I could remember that book...

3. Reading all of The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman on a spring afternoon, beach side.

4. In the evenings after work, and before bed. But I'll read anytime if the mood strikes.

5. Not that I can recall. Spoilers don't generally spoil anything for me. For example, I saw The Road before I read the book and the book was absolutely amazing despite knowing the whole story before hand. (It's an amazing read, but really dark. I recommend it if you like post apocalyptic stories.)

6. Never. I don't mind the books picking up wear and tear from use but I'd never mark in them intentionally. Something feels wrong about that to me.

7. Anything... Post-its, receipts, scraps of paper, other books if they're small enough... My favorites are the ones my kids make me though.

8. Two.  1) Jurassic Park because I was OBSESSED with the movie when I was younger. I read it when I was 11 and I've come back to it at least 8 times since then.   2) The Ocean at the End of the Lane which is one of my favorite stories of all time. I read it once a year at least.

1. My name is Remus and I use all pronouns except for she/her
   
   
2. No i was probs less then 3 years old
   
   
3. Once i was reading in my schools library and the vibes were AMAZING and i was sitting next to my boyfriend and he was reading too and it was awesome. He was reading a comic(Witch Boy i think) and I was reading the Love Hypothesis.
   
   
4. I read when I feel like reading
   
   
5. No i dont think knowing the ending would affect whether i read it or not. 
   
   
6. No never. 
   
   
7. Whatever i can find that wont damage the book
   
   
8. No i dont re read a book unless i forget what happens in it. 

1) she/her

1. Ren, she/her
   
2. The Daydreamer by Ian McEwan. It made a big impact on 3rd-grader me
   
3. I read a lot throughout the day. I read on my lunch break (sometimes at my desk), while I'm cooking, and before bed.
   
4. If I'm already reading the book and end up getting spoiled then I will still continue, but if I get spoiled before even starting then I won't bother.
   
5. I sometimes get coffee on my books, or at least I did when I mostly read physical books. I almost exclusively read from my Kindle now, but I do highlight with it.
   
6. The Kindle just bookmarks it for me. 
   
7. There is not. I have only read on book more than once and that was because I had read it for pleasure and then was assigned to read it for class later on and I couldn't remember all the details otherwise. 
   

Your preferred name and pronouns.
Deon and I go by they/them :3

Do you remember the first book that you read?
Kinda!!! I remember that one book about the dude with a bunch of hats. (upon googling it, it was called Caps for Sale)

The best reading experience you've ever had (I'm thinking this can extend to not just being absorbed within a specific story, but the location you were literally reading in and the ViBeS.)

I think any time I was reading Turtles All The Way Down by John Green was an amazing reading experience. 

When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 
I had made a goal to read before going to bed, but that kinda fell through so I just read in the car before I go in for work. I work at a bookstore so I guess it's the most appropriate time to do that akdlfsj. I'm not supposed to read at work (kinda crazy I know) but if I could I would. 

Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc.
Totally! I used to really love writing in books, but now I get too nervous incase ill ruin them so now I just leave crumbs in them.

What do you use as a bookmark? 
I use a Pete the Cat bookmark I got from my college library that says "School is Cool". If that one is busy then I just use a receipt :P

Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?
It was either Turtles All The Way Down by John Green or When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.

Josephine (Jo), she/her

2. Do you remember the first book that you read?

The Timid Kitten?

3. The best reading experience you've ever had (I'm thinking this can extend to not just being absorbed within a specific story, but the location you were literally reading in and the ViBeS.)

Reading Outlander while I was working on a fishing boat. Sitting with my feet in the water, dolphins and whales around. Magical.

4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 

Whenever I have time. On work breaks, at home, on drives

5. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie) ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? 

Not really, I kinda like hints to spoilers.

6. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc.

I annotate all my book. I love writing in them.

7. What do you use as a bookmark? 

Anything and everything. A leaf, a receipt, a bookmark, a hair elastic, a dog ear.

8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?

The Vampire Lestat. I love it more every time.

1. Your preferred name and pronouns. Hi, I'm Jazmin! I go by she/her!
2. Do you remember the first book that you read? Nope, but books like 'The Rainbow Fish', 'Where the Wild Things Are', 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', the 'Rainbow Magic' series and the 'Storey Treehouse' series as well as various authors such as Pamela Allen, Jackie French, Morris Gleitzman and Paul Jennings were staples of my childhood. 
3. The best reading experience you've ever had (I'm thinking this can extend to not just being absorbed within a specific story, but the location you were literally reading in and the ViBeS.) Probably when I was reading the 'Harry Potter' series growing up. I remember accidentally borrowing the third book instead of the first one from the school library, but I still read about one third of the way through it until I realised I've been reading the wrong one. I loved borrowing the series from my primary school library because I used to talk about it with the librarian! I also had friends who were reading Harry Potter and we used to talk about it together and race each other to see who could finish the books first. Another great reading experience of mine would be when I read this fascinating Amelia Earheart book for accelerated guided reading in year 1, I just remember sitting at my desk absolutely absorbed in the book!
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? During my commute on the train-- I love to put my earphones in, either listening to my favourite music or to an audiobook of the book I'm reading, and just become absolutely absorbed in the book. It's a great way to spend my time!
5. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie) ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? Not that I can remember, I tend to avoid spoilers! I'm not an absolute spoiler-phobe but I'd prefer it if I didn't know the entirety of the book before getting into it. That's why I'm a 'books before movies' person.
6. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc. I'm guilty of dog-earing my books, usually as a bookmark or to mark pages with important quotes for close reading. I annotate my books sometimes, and when I'm close reading for eng lit I highlight all over my pages and scribble notes in the margins. I also break the spines of my books quite a lot so I can read them flat. I leave my books on my windowsill for decorative purposes which leads them to yellow very quickly. Sometimes I'll put my mug on my books which leaves coffee, tea and hot chocolate stains. If I'm lending someone a book, I'll annotate it and/or leave a note on the first page. I take my books with me everywhere, so the corners of the covers are always mucked up. To me, books aren't meant to be pretty, they're meant to be used. 
7. What do you use as a bookmark? I dog-ear it, lolz. Much more convenient and quick, especially when I have to quickly get off the train. 
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it? Oh, definitely the 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' manga. I first watched the anime in 2020, but I loved it so much that I read the rest of the series (parts that hadn't been animated yet, 'Stone Ocean' up to 'JoJolion'). Being able to read the manga as it's being released is pretty awesome. I was able to read the last third of JoJolion as it was being released every month, and I'm currently reading 'JoJolands' with each new monthly release (I'm making blog posts for each chapter). Having read Stone Ocean before it was animated was also an awesome experience-- watching one of my favourite parts in the series being animated and released in stages and being able to compare the anime to the manga. I've reread Stone Ocean and Steel Ball Run soooo many times. I think I love JoJo so much because it's such a unique manga-- Araki's artstyle is absolutely amazing (no wonder he got featured in the Louvre), and the whole idea of new main characters in each part is brilliant: it's a really great way of gathering a large, varied audience with different tastes and getting readers hooked waiting for the next main character.

1. Ever/Minu! (they/them pronouns)
2. I genuinely can't remember I was like 3
3. Honestly, I have no clue, I can't remember what it feels like to read a book when I'm not reading it anymore, no matter how much I enjoy it
4. I read the most in class after I finished my work but sometimes I read on the bus ride home and after showering
5. I don't really come across spoilers, but it does effect the reading experience if I know/predict something that's going to happen
6. Not purposefully, though a few might have a couple crumbs or minor smudges
7. An Eevee Pokemon card! I've been considering getting these cool Madoka magica bookmarks I found on etsy though
8. Don't think I've read it 5 times, but I used to be REALLY into Wings of Fire and read the whole series a few times

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   He/Him
   
   
2. Do you remember the first book that you read
   Not the very first, but first full on novel I completed was the Elfstones of Shannara, Terry Brooks. 
   
   
3. The best reading experience you've ever had 
   I was reading a book I picked up randomly via an ad called Exoskeleton, Shane Stadler, and I stayed up all night reading that book. It was dark, wind was blowing, and complete with nightmares. It was definitely a memorable evening.
   
   
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 
   It really depends on the mood, and what I am reading. Some books I like at specific times, others I devour any chance I get. But I prefer a home environment for sure. 
   
   
5. Has knowing the ending of a book (example, through spoilers or a movie) ever made you decide whether you will read the book or not? 
   Nah, spoilers never really bother me so much. Meta knowledge rarely does. I can still enjoy the book and be entertained by any twist or turn presented. 
   
   
6. Do you ever leave "a mark" (deliberate and/or not deliberate) in your books? For example, write in them, underline quotes, coffee marks or food crumbs and etc.
   NEVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!
   
   
7. What do you use as a bookmark? 
   TCG cards, Receipts, hardcover dust jacket flaps, torn paper. I have one actual bookmark and it's never in the book I'm actually reading... >>
   
   
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?
   Homeland, R.A. Salvatore.  I don't know what  it is about this book. It's just homey and nostalgic. 

1. My preferred name is Desiree and my pronouns are She/They!

2. The first book that I probably read on my own was probably a Goosebumps book!

3. The best reading experience I've ever had was probably recently when I read this book called The House in the Cerulean Sea and I was entranced by it! 

4. I usually read at home whenever I feel like it! Most of the time though I prefer in the afternoon because that's when I'm not that busy.

5. I try my best not to be spoiled about the ending of a book, but sometimes when it does happen to me I actually feel like I have to read it, because I have to know the cause of the ending if you get my drift.

6. Only in books that I personally own. Other than that I try my best to make sure I leave no marks in books because I always feel bad for doing so.

7. I usually use a piece of paper I have lying around, I don't have many proper bookmarks!

8. I've never read a book more than five times. I believe that I've read one book at least three times but that was when I was much younger!
