Authors definitely have crutch words. Sometimes it doesn’t bother me too much if it’s a really common word. But seeing acerbic often would drive me nuts.

I read whenever and I can. I usually have an hour before bed where I can get some pages in. And if work isn’t busy, I read a little bit then too. It helps that I carry a book or my kindle with me everywhere.

I love to reread my favorites. The books that made me go through all the motions. But I also reread books in a series because I have terrible memory and can’t usually remember what happened last. And I also reread of I’m I a reading slump. Sometimes rereading a favorite gets me out of it.

I don’t bat an eyelash at it. There’s a bunch of stuff that I don’t enjoy doing, and that’s ok. Everyone has their thing. Reading just happens to be ours.

I love when I read a mystery and all the puzzle pieces fit perfectly at the end. I’m not great at catching all the pieces while I read, but it is so satisfying when it clicks at the end.
