This or That — Book Edition

Since getting involved with the "bookstagram" community, I've been even more book focused than usual, which is a lot. I found this awesome idea from McKenzie—fellow book lovers unite!—and just had to do it too. 

--
buy new or buy used? 99% of the time I prefer used because I love the feeling of a worn book. However, if it's a book I absolutely love, getting a brand new copy for myself is such a treat. eat 
while your read or read while you eat? I prefer neither ha! I actually really don't love to eat while reading—it's too hard for me!  
re-read old favorites or pre-order upcoming possibilities? For loving books as much as I do, I think it's odd at how little I re-read books—there are just so many I want to read it feels hard to justify spending time on something I've already read! Unless I really, really love it. But preordering kind of gives me anxiety? Haha. I have a needy personality when it comes to books. If I read a synopsis and am really into it, I want the book immediately. Preordering is for patient people, which I am not ;) 
read every single word or skim at times? Definitely skim at times. I hate to admit I do it, but sometimes we gotta get back to the dialogue, OK? 
happy endings or tragic endings? Happy. I'm not here for a tragic ending, but I'm HERE for drama and for realistic endings if they can't be entirely happy. 
audiobooks or e-books? E-books all day. I can't focus on audiobooks for shit. 
multiple books or one book at a time? Ugh, I hate reading multiple books at once but I do it occasionally. It's usually because I started reading a physical copy of something and then also have an e-book I'm reading. 
mostly one genre or a little bit of everything? I definitely lean toward certain genres (romance, contemp fiction, historical, contemp YA) but I do dabble in other genres as well. Definitely working on broadening my horizons. 
lifelong obsession or later re-discovery? Life.Long.Hunni. 
classics — yay or nay? Ehh, after getting an English degree, I probably should say YAY but if I'm being honest, I'm more a nay right now (unless we're talking Lost Generation writers like Hemingway and Fitzgerald in which case always a loud YAY). I think I'm going to come back to the classics later in life and really enjoy them though.  read aloud to others or be read aloud to? Both sound kind of ehh for this introvert haha but I would say read aloud to others, especially since that's something I can't wait to do with children someday.
absolute silence or background music/noise? Both are fine. I can read under most circumstances.
cover on or naked? ON. They're gorgeous, people spend a ton of time designing them, why take them off? (Although inside covers are starting to get pretty treatments now too.)
bookmark or dog-ear? Dog-ear!!
movie cover or original? Original ugh please.

Anyone reading anything good right now? Happy Tuesday!
