I don't know what it says about me, that most books I have read with warm colour covers have either blood or fire on them...
But I picked the German version of "the remains of the day" because it's a book I would never have picked up for myself and surprisingly loved 1/3

This cover's kind of got a bit of everything, but the warm colors are what stand out to me the most. This book is such an incredible memoir and if you haven't read it yet, you should!!

I read by myself but often times in public spaces. I honestly don't care what's going on around me while reading as long as it is not too distracting.

I usually read by myself but that's kind of a necessity since there's no one in my life who reads a much as I do. But I'm planning to be part of a Silent Reading Party in December and am excited to see if I enjoy that 😊

I long for the commeraderie of communal reading, but I'm very bad at it. I can only read when I'm alone, otherwise my anxiety acts up or I start talking and keep everyone from their books 😅 #booksky 💙📚 #BookishQOTD 📖🦋

I like to do sprint reads with friends, we'll read for 45 minutes, then (allegedly) talk for 15 min (it's never only 15 minutes)

Typically I read by myself. Often Spouse and I will have what I call "reading parties" where we just lounge next to each other in bed while reading

While I have been in spaces where others are reading, I don't know how much their presence enhances my experience

Leaning towards by myself so I am able to focus more. If there’s people around me I get in my head a lot

Silent bookclubs seem fun & I’ve always wanted to try them!! But if I’m into a book I can’t have people trying to talk to me & completely take me out of the story

By myself. Since I get completely lost in the stories, reading with others would not add any value for me. However, I have no problem with others reading around me. They just shouldn't disturb me while I'm reading. 😉

By myself. It's taken me long enough to regain my attention span after a few years of really bad concentration (post lockdown) so I need to be able to focus. 📚😌

I have to read alone often, but I’ve gone to Silent Book Club meetings which are always great. Something about exchanging with others what is being read brings a whole new dynamic to reading. #booksky💙📚 #bookishQOTD📖

I usually just read by myself and I think that’s how I can focus the best. I do like when my family is reading in the house with me though.

I've become more and more introverted since COVID so I'm definitely a read by myself girl. My sister went to a silent book club recently where everyone brought their own book and sat together, read and drank wine. That sounds delightful tbh.

By myself, hands down. Reading is my quiet time to just decompress and be engrossed, I’ve never been a social reader

I prefer to read by myself, it’s too distracting otherwise and I can’t focus.

Probably chronological, because it'll be easier to follow and helps me understand characters better. But I'm not specifically opposed to a non-linear narrative if there is a good reason for it and the writer is skilled enough to pull it off.

Writers, when plotting, do you craft your story in any particular sequence?

Seperately, readers, do you favor chronological or non-linear reads?

Chronological! No other choice there.
I hate being thrown back and forth between timelines - I cannot really form connections to the events or characters like this. It can work but it's really rare.

this is a lot more planning than I put into my reading list. I just have an overall big pile I keep topped up and I pick based completely on immediate mood.

I'm aiming to finished reading David Copperfield by Dickens.

It's taken me 30 years of stopping / restarting because I can't stand his writing, so it's an unenjoyable battle just to say I've done it.
