---- My Reading Habits ----

Where?
I read 90% of the time in the comfort of my bed, occasionally in my garden if the sun's out and sometimes (although very rarely) on my couch. However, I can read anywhere and everywhere; on a plane, at the beach, in the car, I'll find a way. My bed is just the place I'd pick over any other.

When?
Usually every day, ranging anywhere from half an hour to a whole day, depending on the book. I nearly always read in the afternoon/at night, when I'm most awake - I am not a morning person.

Reading format?
Nothing will beat a good hardcover, but my Kindle is undeniably useful and more practical - not to mention cheaper. Yet I continue to buy physical books, because I love the satisfaction of filling a shelf up. I've never tried an Audiobook, but can't imagine I'd like it that much.

Crack the spine?
No. No way. I read paperbacks with the utmost care so that they never lose their lovely flat spines, and I try to buy hardbacks as often as possible. I think cracked spines are awful to look at on a bookshelf!

Bookmark or random bit of paper?
I always use a bookmark, seeing as whenever I buy books from bookstores I get given several free ones, so it just makes sense to actually use them. People who fold the corners over are my enemies in life.

Do you read more than one book at once?
Rarely. I feel like that could get very confusing - I prefer to breeze quickly through books and focus all my attention on one at a time, although I have had more than one book on the go before.

Reading ahead?
I sometimes find myself accidentally glancing a few paragraphs ahead if I sense a 'big reveal' coming up. I guess my eyes get too excited -.- but I never, ever read the last page of a book- that is perhaps the biggest bookcrime there is and it baffles me that people do it.

Do you have to finish the chapter before you put it down?
I can live without doing it, but usually I try to finish the chapter anyway. Then when I finish that chapter, I decide I'll just read one more... and then another... and then another...

Do you judge a book by it's cover?
Yes. I know it's not a great way of judging books; some amazing novels have awful covers and vice versa, but ultimately the cover is there for a reason and if it doesn't draw me in, I'm not likely to pick the book up. Take note, publishers.

---- Prettiest Book Covers ----

These aren't necessarily books that I own, but are books with a cover that completely convinces me to want to read it. 

I'm also not saying the book itself is any good - there are a number on this list that in my opinion aren't very good; but the cover work is beautiful. Like a really attractive guy with nothing going on inside his head. Anyway, here they are...

1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
2. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
3. The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

1. The Selection by Keira Cass
2. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
3. The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

1. Across The Universe by Beth Revis
2. Fallen by Lauren Kate
3. Matched by Ally Condie
