4. Any time, I don't really have a schedule with reading
   
   
5. Not really, spoilers don't tend to bother a crazy amount

7. I dog ear my pages, but if I'm borrowing from a friend I'll usually use a receipt

1. Your preferred name and pronouns.
   -Luna, any pronouns are fine
2. Do you remember the first book that you read?
   -Probably some Dr. Seuss book, but the book that got me hooked on reading was Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone
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.)
   -Six of Crows in my old study period during high school, that got me back into reading after a slump
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...? 
   -I always have a book with me so whenever I find the time in the day, typically the morning, I'll crack it open

- idk. one time i was on a train and my phone almost was dead so i started and finsihed my book. it was a sunny day and so peaceful

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

- not really. i just find myself reading for another purpose. there's so much more to a book than the ending such as characters, setting, and the rest of the plot that still leaves me curious

- yesssss. i always annotate shit. i eat/drink a lot so that reflects too </3

- yall would hate me but i forget bookmarks so i dog ear the pages

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. 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

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. 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?
   

   Not that I can think of or name. An example, I have been reading the Hannibal series. I know how that goes, but I still read (and enjoyed!) the books.
   

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. petuski/any

2. i recall reading a bunch of "eye witness" books and dinosaur encyclopedias. it took me a long time before i ever took any interest in narrative stories.

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

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. Yes annotate my books

5. Not as of yet
6. I don't leave little marks but I do annotate IF I really feel the need to and I love when my books look worn 
7. I use this bookmark I bought with pink tassels 
8. I have not read a book 5+ times

looking for people to talk to!!

1. My name is Jessalyn, I use she/her pronouns. 

2. Because of Winn-Dixie. 

3. The Percy Jackson series and when I read them will always have such a tremendous part in my heart, however reading My Dark Vanessa and These Violent Delights absolutely altered my brain chemistry. 

4. When I read extremely changes mostly just based on when I feel the urge to read. 

5. It actually has not, although I had never really thought about it either. Now that the idea has come into my mind I honestly might start… 

6. I do. I enjoy annotating however I’m for the most part extremely careful with books.

7. I’ll use bookmarks, pieces of paper, if I don’t have those I’ll just remember the page I’m on.
   

8. There is not. I actually really struggle rereading things.

1. Tu nombre y pronombres preferidos.
   (he/el)

8. 
   
9. Si frankistein

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 
   
6. i always put my name, the date i started to read it and when i finished it 
7. napkin or a pen
8. dont know if it counts but any of the heartstopper books

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. Your preferred name and pronouns - Arlo, he/they.
   
   
2. Do you remember the first book that you read? - Nope tbh
   
   
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 always read at home but  have a lot of good memories reading the illuminatus trilogy by robert anton wilson and robert shea
   
   
4. When do you usually read? At home, work, while cooking, in the morning, noon, afternoon, before you go to bed...?  - whenever I can really, generally at home but I'll occasionally bring books with me when I go out
   
   
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? - Nope, I often buy books of movies I've just watched if I enjoyed it enough, I actually appreciate it more in a way
   
   
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 try not to and if im desperate to leave a note ill use a sticky note
   
   
7. What do you use as a bookmark? - used to use literally any piece of paper lying round but then I got some bookmarks for free from buyin a book and now I use them
   
   
8. Is there a book that you have read more than five times? If so, what is it? - Catcher in the Rye, probably because I had to do my english A-level coursework on it lmfao

1. Hello hello!!! I go by Zabeth (or Elizabeth) and my preferred pronouns are she/her.

2. One of the first books that I read as a kid was "Anne of Green Gables" that was part of the Puffins Collection by the company Penguin I think. My mother always encouraged me to dive into the classics so I think that was definitely a start.

3. Forgive me for being cliche but I once read a Harry Potter book (Chamber of Secrets for anyone curious) on a really foggy and slow day at a Starbucks in Tagaytay (Hiraya, best ph location for sb in my opinion). Everything was just right from the warm atmosphere of the Starbucks, the foggy mountain view, cold air, warm drink, and I was halfway through the book of it all. Not only was the location locationing but the vibes were vibing that day.

4. I typically read when I have the free time to do so because even as a student, I do have alot of obligations to fulfill though I do make it a point to read for atleast an hour a week (if my school schedule allows such time).

5. Yes, yes, and yes oh my godd!! The amount of books I avoid reading because I know the ending is really sad or is like so unexpected is unbearably alot because I still get so immersed into the book to the point I forget the ending momentarily and then it's just like WHAM suddenly I'm an emotional and inconsolable wreck. It's the same analogy I have for anime's (Like Banana Fish and the Sk8 the Infinity)/

6. I don't like leaving marks in my books though a way I do sort of make it my own is by leaving a checkmark on the first chapter.

7. I use a leather bookmark that I got from Fully Booked (SHOUTOUT!!!!!!) it has stars and constellations with the quote "Your task is not to foresee the future but enable it." 

8. Inferno by Dante Alighieri for most of my wips, I can explain I promise!

1. Koen (they/them)
   
   
2. "Coraline" by Neil Gaiman
   
   
3. I was reading "The House in the Cerulean Sea" by TJ Klune at a small café down the road. It was spring, the weather was nice, the place was mostly empty, I had ordered an earl grey and some biscuits. It was a nice experience, and the book itself is one of my favourites. So overall a very pleasant memory.
   
   
4. Usually during the afternoon or early evening, I'd make myself comfortable in my desk chair (it reclines, and I tend to put my feet up on the desk or bed) with a warm blanket and beverage or small fan and iced water, depends on the weather.
   
   
5. I annotate my favourite books.
   
   
6. Anything. I have some store bought ones, homemade ones, a couple that were given to me by friends - there are also plenty of receipts, ripped out notebook pages, etc.
   
   
7. "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

1. You can call me Perdita (I use she/they pronouns, but I don't really care which ones you use :))


2. I remember reading "Sophie's Masterpiece".


3. The best reading experience I've ever had was reading Warrior Cats: Into the Wild for the first time. I can't remembered every detail about it, but it was an experience that I've enjoyed.


4. I read whenever I have time, I even have some things to read bookmarked so I can read them later.


5. Yes, very much. That's why stopped reading at Warrior Cats: Omen of the Stars.
6. Deliberate, I use sticky notes or index cards. Only if it's for school though.
7. I usually dog-ear the page (I know how dare I ) or use an homemade bookmark made out of folded notebook or printer paper.


8. "Stellaluna", I've read that book multiple times in Kindergarten.

1. im Haru! i go by he/they (they're just my pronouns, not my gender, im a female :))

2. it was a classic, and my favorite until now and im so glad i picked it up: Pride and Prejudice

3. as you can see from my profile, Folk of the Air series (i was a little annoyed when it got popular on tiktok tbh since i dont want it to get overhyped either since i love it so much. (worst feeling ever))

4. at home at any time a feel like reading~ (bring a couple books in public so i can read there too)

5. this was me with Harry Potter, yes it did, but i kept hearing that the books were so much better than the movies, so i read them (they were better)

6. i go as far as annotating on them and drawing on them (it makes the books feel more like thy're mine, which they are; and i like that feeling.) coffee marks and food crumbs are a big no!

8. Beach Read! (its like more of a comfort book to me <3)

1. Tlee, she/her ~
2. GERONIMO STILTON BOOKS >>>
3. I was so absorbed into reading the Hunger Games series I nestled into my bed at 10pm and finished two of the books by 5am that was the coziest reading experience ever.
4. I read mostly at school during lunchtime or between classes. 
5. YESS!! With the book If You Could See Me Now, I thought it was going to be boring, then I read the last chapter then I was immediately intrigued and swished through the book so fast.
6. I once spilled some black coffee on one of my books but I wiped it off so fast, so there's three (from the leaking) pages in one book which is literally brown.
7. Anything I can grab, most of the time my eraser or calculator. 
8. Holes by Louis Sachar and The Village by the Sea by Anita Desai (BIG RECCO THEY'RE SO GOOD)

1. Sapphire, not concerned about pronouns
   
   
2. Corydon and the Island of Monsters by Tobias Druitt
   
   
3. Picking up the first book in the Department 19 series by Will Hill in school. I got so absorbed in the story that I made getting the entire book series a Christmas request when I was younger
   
   
4. Generally at home but I like to keep whichever book I'm in the middle of reading to hand whenever I go out
   
   
5. Sometimes if I liked the story enough after hearing about it or seeing it in another form, I may end up grabbing the book(s)
   
   
6. Never, I try to look after my personal collection as best I can
   
   
7. I've got a crocheted Golden Snitch from Quidditch that my mom made for me a long time ago
   
   
8. I don't think I've reached five re-reads on any book so far but I have re-read a couple that I enjoyed a lot
   

1. Yeon & any pronouns
   
   
2. chicka chicka boom boom
   
   
3. when reading the first harry potter book i had zoned out and imagined the book as if it was a movie and it was as if i was harry potter. i couldnt even hear anyone else and didnt respond to any physical touch. i completely disassociated into the book until i finished it.
   
   
4. at work, to decompress & before bed

3. my herbal book i mentioned before & spell books i own

• Hi guys!

• I'm Sparrow, I use they/them pronouns :)
  
  
• I do! It was "Put Me In The Zoo" by Dr. Seuss (my mom taught me how to read a bit when i was very small)
  
  
• I finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt on a chilly plane ride home from my mom's after Christmas, and I had a soda water and a nice fluffy blanket, and I could see the city lights outside my window. Overall a peaceful and cozy time.
  
  
• I usually read a little before bed and whenever my eyes get tired of staring at a computer.
  
  
• Knowing the end of a book only ruins it for me if it's a badly written book. Most of my favorite books actually start off by telling you how they end, and the fun is reading how they get there. 
  
  
• I write in my books, usually in pen, and I'm not afraid to dog-ear them. I love reading other people's books who have done this and seeing the bits they loved, so I leave a piece of myself for the next person who does.

• I dog-ear my pages.
  
  
• I've read Romeo and Juliet more times than I can count, as well as The Cruel Prince and The Secret History.
