“Get to Know Me” is a book tag by Jamie, who originated as a TCG buddy and joined the blogging world a year ago. 😁 She’s suuuuuper nice and comments back (*hint hint*).

Instead of me tagging people, if you want to do it, go for it. 😊

Reading habits

• Favorite place to read: my chair @ my desk, or in my bed
• I can’t help reading ahead sometimes; other times I read the last few lines so I know what I’m getting myself into.
• I prefer physical books, because I have to use a reader strip of sorts[2. It’s really just the white part of a cardboard bookmark; there’s no highlight thing. I just don’t know what else to call it, so.]; serif fonts are NOT my friend. Ebooks make that difficult and read longer, and it doesn’t help my lack of reading comprehension skills. I also take notes as I read (words/vocabulary, diction/imagery, etc.) to use as a reference when I write my own stories, and it’s not easy to reference ebooks.
• Audiobooks: I’m hard-of-hearing and also don’t process verbal text as quickly as I do the written word. It’d be a complete waste of time because it’d inevitably require at least double the time.
• Book boyfriends/girlfriends: Evelyn Hugo? Yeah, that’s weird. I’m smitten, though! Also Isabel, Jacob Black and/or Gilbert Blythe could totally get it if we did nothing more than cuddle, Alice Cullen, Octavia Blake, and KIZABEL. I need to read more diverse fiction, methinks, to make an adequate judgment call.

My future

• Marriage: Would like to, but that depends on others, doesn’t it? 😒
• Children: I keep thinking I want kids, and then I babysit others’ kids and think, “Omg, NO.” On the other hand, older kids need to be adopted, too. 💁❤
• Career: Not telling ’til it happens, but also: novelist.
• Where I want to live is a complicated question, agh. 😫
