BBAW Celebrate Books - Wednesday Meme

Today we are supposed to answer some meme questions created at the BBAW site. Sounded fun to me so here I go:

That's me in the middle between my 2 best friends. Tiff on the left and Ann on the right. Aren't we hotties?! LOL
Just thought I would throw this in since this post is about ME

Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack?
I try not to snack, but I do it anyway. Favorite snack....hmmm...cereal, cookies

Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does the idea of writing in books horrify you? I can't write in my books. I just can't do it. I even cringe at writing my name in the front.

How do you keep your place while reading a book? Bookmark? Dog-ears?
I either just remember the chapter or page. I can't dog-ear. That goes right along with writing in the book. I also can't stand it when my cover gets bent. Yikes...not good!!

Laying the book flat open?
Was this supposed to go with how I keep my page? I do this sometimes, but not often.

Fiction, Non-fiction, or both?
I prefer fiction, but like a good memoir

Hard copy or audiobooks?
Hard copy. I don't do audiobooks right now because my cd player is broken in the car. I also think they tend to cost too much. One more thing...I tend to start thinking about other things if I am just listening to them.

Are you a person who tends to read to the end of chapters, or are you able to put a book down at any point?
I read to the end of the chapter if at all possible. Sometimes when I read during my lunch break at work I have to stop early and that is very hard for me.

If you come across an unfamiliar word, do you stop to look it up right away?
When I am on my Kindle I absolutely look it up right away. In a regular book I see if I can figure it out in context. If not I look it up later unless I can't understand the story without knowing right away.

What are you currently reading?
Bending Toward the Sun by Leslie Gilbert-Lurie with Rita Lurie, The Interrogative Mood by Padgett Powell. I am writing this post early and right now I am also reading Middlesex for a book club meeting on Tuesday. I kind of forgot about it so I don't know that I will get it finished.

What is the last book you bought?
I just bought several off of Amazon. I bought The Hunger Games and Catching Fire, 14 Cows for America, Because I am Furniture, and the Art of Racing In the Rain
BTW, Um, MawBooks is the reason for several of these purchases so I may have to stop reading her blog before I go completely broke. LOL

Are you the type of person that only reads one book at a time or can you read more than one at a time?
I usually read one at a time

Do you have a favorite time of day and/or place to read?
anytime anywhere, but I like it to be kind of quiet. I do read every workday on my afternoon break while my co-workers play darts. Not a quiet time, but I like it anyway.

Do you prefer series books or stand alone books?
I mostly read stand alone, but I can't pass up a good series

Is there a specific book or author that you find yourself recommending over and over?
Recently, Melissa Foster's book Megan's Way. Very touching story of love, loss, and relationships.
I also recommend The Almost Human Series by Melanie Nowak. This is a great vampire series I read on my Kindle, but is now available in paper. I plan to review this series.

How do you organize your books? (By genre, title, author’s last name, etc.?)
Organize what is that??? On my old bookshelf I put an author's books together and then just put there by size. I did separate my religious books. Currently, my only way of organizing is to put my review books in order of how they were received.
