1. online i'd prefer to just go by my username (ketamine), K, or Kali are fine too, she/her
   
   
2. i don't remember the exact first ever book i read but i can imagine it would be something one of my parents read to me or something from kinder/ primary school
   
   
3. i don't think much will ever top the feeling of lying in bed with my parent(s), wrapped up in a warm blanket, reading books i borrowed from the school library. I loved when they would read to me, but i also enjoyed reading to them.
   
   
4. i usually end up reading in the afternoon, a little bit before or after dinner. Sometimes i read at school (school novels/ independent reading time) but somedays i read multiple times throughout the day after waking up.
   
   
5. i usually end up spoiling movies or tvs show im watching, but i luckily avoid that most of the time with books. I like things to be a surprise, especially for the first time reading something because if i know the ending, i'll spend the entire journey thinking about it and trying to connect it to what is currently happening in the story and it just ruins it a bit for me. it probably wouldn't stop me from reading a book just from knowing the ending, but if i felt the ending was bad it would certainly deter me.

1. i write my last name in each of the books i own, and i sometimes leave underlined words or little drawings. after i finish my books i draw a picture on a little sticky note, write the title and date i finished it, and i stick on either a memorable page or just at random. 
2. i have many different things i use as bookmarks: sticky notes, actual bookmarks, random pictures, little notes i've used in the past, i've got a little pile of things i could use on top of my bookshelf. A few of my books have ribbon bookmarks, too.
   
   
3. I don't think i've reread many books, but the closest i've gotten to five is probably The Secret Garden, which i think i've read 2 or 3 times. It's definitely one of my, if not my favourite books i've ever read. I would like to reread some others but i don't have copies of them.

1. sam, he/him.
   
   
2. the first book i read because i actually wanted to was the maze runner 
   
   
3. my best expirience was probably reading circe by madeline miller, it took me long to finish but i absolutely sucked in all the knowladge and melancholy it gave me 
   
   
4. honestly, whenever i have time, i usually spend all my time at school or doing homework, so whenever and wherever theres time ill read
5. i know its odd but i dont mind when people spoil

3. listening to the "a song of ice and fire" audiobooks while with a friend while working together on an animation project.

4. i basically only listen to audiobooks, so usually when going to and from work, or i'll set aside some time for it at home and draw at the same time. (trying to do more of the latter)

5. i was VERY well versed in all the tolkien lore, and watched the lord of the rings like 50 times before ever reading the books. and for a long time, i put off reading it because i thought i knew it all by heart already. but once i eventually did read them, they somehow still managed to surprise me.

6. it doesn't quite work with audiobooks, despite my attempts.

7. none

8. none

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   

   That would be Howl! Along with he/him or they/them pronouns.

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

   Oh god no! I've been reading for so long! I guess my answer would have to be... hmm... The "Dick And Jane" books. The ones that are targeted towards new readers!
   

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.)
   

   This is such an odd question! Perhaps anytime I have been reading while camping. It's so easy to get engrossed with the sounds of nature and no distractions!
   

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

   At home is where I do most of my reading. I keep trying to work in a dedicated reading time but it is not working out ^_^;. These days, when I go out (usually for appointments) I try to bring a book with me!
   

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?

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 LOVE marking up my books. I have recently started highlighting them and writing in them. I want to make the stories my own too. Leave my thoughts in the margins, let people know it was loved.
   

7. What do you use as a bookmark?
   

   Anything I can find. I am not above the "wrapper as a bookmark" thing, or just dogearring pages. I do have a habit of buying cute bookmarks even when I know I won't use them...
   

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

   While not 5 times (don't attack!), I have re-read "The Outsiders" by S. E. Hinton multiple times now since having it be a required read in middle school!
   

1) Hi!!! I'm Octy and I prefer they/them pronouns

2) One of the first books I've read were the Mafalda comic strips compilations. I know it may not count, but she was one of my favorites growing up

3) Ok, so, there was a series of books that I read growing up called Historias entre Tumbas (Stories among Tombs, rough translation sorry) and I got literally obsessed. I stayed in the library reading them in recess and borowed them from the library constantly. I had forgotten about them until a couple of days ago, been trying to find them ever since

4) On the ride to school and between clases, when I'm not talking with friends

5) Not really. Most of the time I watch a movie and find out after that it has a book or viceversa. I enjoy them either way

6) I recently started underlining quotes that I like 

7) Bookmarks, mostly. If I don't have one in hand I use loose papers in my bag

8) All Tomorrows, by C. M. Kosemen, this man has me HOOKED

1. benny, he/him/his, it/its

2. the earliest memory i have of reading was of an encyclopedia

3. being a kid and staying up late to read (as opposed to how it is now; being 22 and staying up late to escape the monotony and chaos, both, somehow, of my reality)

4. at home, in bed

5. i usually don't mind spoilers, because there's a very big difference between "knowing" the plot vs EXPERIENCING the plot 

we're skipping 6

7. i dog-ear the pages

8. What If? by Randall Munroe

Your preferred name and pronouns.  

He/him pronouns. Just call me Rat here, not gonna use my IRL name!

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.)  

My favorite place to read is on airplanes! It's a place where nothing else is required of me and my only responsibility is to keep myself entertained until I get where I'm going! Planes are also so limnal, which just adds to the vibes! Buses and trains are like this too, but with the disadvantage of having to watch out for my stop! I've definitely on more than one occasion missed my bus stop after getting too engrossed in a good book!

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

At work on my breaks, on public transit, at night when I can't sleep, in the bathroom, the list goes on and on!

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 hasn't stopped me from reading a book, but it can push it further down my TBR list. Like, it's still worth enjoying something even if I know where it's going, but maybe I'll read something that'll be completely fresh to me first!

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.  

Oh food crumbs end up in and on all my belongings eventually! Lately I've been reading 99% ebooks borrowed from the library using the Libby and Hoopla apps on my phone because I know if I buy/rent a physical book it's just going to end up sticky and gross with food residue!

What do you use as a bookmark?   

With ebooks I don't have to worry about this anymore, but on the rare occasion that I pick up a physical book, I use whatever scrap of garbage is closest to me when I'm reading!

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

When I was a kid in the depths of my weeb phase there were several manga I've read more than five times. Those books were expensive, so I had to reread them to get my money's worth! But as an adult, no. There are just too many good books out there I haven't read yet to go back and reread one I already know!

1. Bee, she/they
   
   
2. probably like Winnie the Pooh (I was two okay)

- i usually read whenever I have free time. I love escaping into little worlds to forget about reality

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

   -I used to use the Joker card, but now I have a proper black and gold snake bookmark. 
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it?

2. Any of the Dear Dumb Diary books by Jim Benton
   
   
3. Reading Piranesi, the whole thing was just SO immersive
   
   
4. Any time, I don't really have a schedule with reading
   
   
5. Not really, spoilers don't tend to bother a crazy amount
   
   
6. Not on purpose but yes. I somehow manage to spill a million things onto my books every day. It's why I don't borrow from libraries, I'd never be able to return them in good condition.
   
   
7. I dog ear my pages, but if I'm borrowing from a friend I'll usually use a receipt
   
   
8. When I was like nine I probably read Chloe Snow's Diary; Confessions of a High School Disaster a hundred times, it was a weird time in my life and that book was EVERYTHING to me LMAO

1. You can call me Colin or Lettuce! I use she/he 🐛
   
   
2. I don’t really remember the first book that I’ve read - but I remember the ones I got obsessed with as a kid! The entirety of Mafalda comics :3 
3. When I was reading “Kafka at the shore” by Haryki Murakami, I felt like EVERYTHING that was happening in the book, was happening to me yk? It was insane, like a “Never-ending Story” type of situation?
4. I read ALL the time !! 
5. Not really?? I usually don’t spoil books for myself, just the final word if I’m too curious lol
6. only in philosophy/science/essay books ;; and in the ones that are mine lol!! I don’t like to write on narrative books, I love them way too much 
7. Literally anything I can find — but lately it’s been a Solosis pokemon card >_<
