Learning My Habits

Learning My Habits

I have been reading for a long, long, long, time. So, you might expect that I have learned a Ton about my habits, and well I have.

I've noticed that I’m very inconstant; sometimes I will read a book in a day. Other times, the same book could take a month. This is due to the fact that I will randomly put a book down; a perfectly good book, with a great plot, sweet characters, and amazing description. I will be caught up in the story, and set the book down to go grab dinner, or use the restroom, or attend an appointment. I think that I will go back to that book, once I finish with whatever I was doing, but I don’t. For some reason, that book won’t ‘call’ to me. Then one day, who knows how many day’s latter, I will pick it up and finish it often under 3 hours depending on book size. This creates some problems and inconsistencies with reading speed.

I've also noticed that I tend to only want to stay in one series, thus depleting my book choices. So I expand… into the realm of Fan-Fiction. This is most likely why I have inconstant reading… cue guilty look. :/ Fan-Fiction, allows me to read extended scenes, view different plot, and explore some ‘what if’s’ in some of my favorite series. I’m very drawn to Fan-Fiction, but in terms of a ‘real’ book, I would say that I’m drawn to Fiction, Sci-Fi, or Mystery novels. I also read Young Adult books, but most of those fall into Fiction any ways.

My reading Habits are constantly changing, what could be problematic today, might be helpful tomorrow. All I know for certain is what I read like now, and what I read like then. All that’s left is the Future, which, as we know, is unknown.
