Somehow I missed this when it was posted, but it sounds fun so I shall have a go now.
Do you prefer hardback, paperback or digital? Paperback, but I buy my favourites to keep in hardback
Do you us a bookmark or do you dog-ear? Bookmark!!!!! Even seeing someone else dog-ear makes me cringe
Are you a spine breaker?! Hell no, I open a book just about enough to read it.
Do you alphabetise by author, colour, title, or are they rammed on the shelf at random? If it fits, it stays.
Do you keep, giveaway, or sell? Giveaway, unless I am collecting a series or I like the book a lot
Do you read with the dust jacket on or remove it? Remove, but put back each time I put the bookmark in.
Do you stop reading when tired or at the end of a chapter? Flip forwards to see how far away the end of chapter is, if less than 10 pages usually get to the end.
“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”? Bring on the thunder!
Buying choice: book reviews, recommendations or just browse? Breathing is enough to make me want to buy a book
Do you prefer a tidy ending or a cliffhanger? Definitely tidy ending
Morning, afternoon or night-time reading? Right before bed

Do you prefer hardback, paperback or digital? Predominantly read paperbacks but do enjoy reading a hardback and definitely love having those as keeper editions of favourite books, especially when signed.
Do you us a bookmark or do you dog-ear? Bookmarks, so many lovely ones, sometimes if not to hand it ends up being a random scrap of paper or a receipt, don't dog-ear to save my page, but occasionally dog-ear if sticky tabs are not to hand and want to remember a favourite quote or passage. Are you a spine breaker?! Don't like it but some editions have to at least have a bit of a crease to get them open properly!
Do you alphabetise by author, colour, title, or are they rammed on the shelf at random? Books I've read are alphabetised by author surname on my shelves, organised into hardbacks, large paperbacks, paperbacks, etc, though I enjoy changing this around now and then. To be read books are mainly shelved hardbacks together and paperbacks together and though I've sometimes alphabetised them they aren't so much at the moment.
Do you keep, giveaway, or sell? Keep most books that I've read and loved in my library, and giveaway some to second-hand bookshops and charity bookshops, and some to friends, and every so often have a cull and give some more away.
Do you read with the dust jacket on or remove it? Usually keep the dust jacket on, unless it looks particular prone to damage, or if I'm taking it in the car, or if it's a special edition.
Do you stop reading when tired or at the end of a chapter? I read far too long after I'm tired some nights! Sometimes it's hard to stop or the chapters are long.
“It was a dark and stormy night” or “Once upon a time”? Either really!
Buying choice: book reviews, recommendations or just browse? Anything and everything! Book reviews, blogs, book tube, library, word of mouth, favourite author, browse or on a whim.
Do you prefer a tidy ending or a cliffhanger? Usually a tidy ending or at least something that draws some of the tale together if not all of it.
Morning, afternoon or night-time reading? Not usually any time on a morning, a bit of reading some afternoons if lucky, but mainly at bedtime and in the bath.
How many books on your TBR? No idea any more, stopped logging them all when it got too much! Certainly hundreds and hundreds.
How many books on your wishlist? Tons as it's added to pretty much every day! I've got a smaller wishlist on goodreads and amazon but then another amazon wishlist that I add all those ones that I think, ooh maybe, etc, will look out for that, and that wishlist has got hundreds on!
Your favourite place to read? Bath, sofa, car or bed.
