Loved the questions in this meme. It’s always fun to learn more about the bloggers I visit. People organize their books? Oops – my shelves are calling.

How is this possible that I CONTINUE to learn more about you? :)
I'm with you on several of your answers;
*Bookmarks!
*Can stop anywhere (I read before bed, and often realize that I'm holding a book with my eyes closed)!
*I also read more than one book at a time - usually. Every so often there is one that I just can't wait to continue with - bar none!
And of course! Enter me please!

I don't organize mt books - lol - just a huge pile - several piles, actually, scattered around in three different rooms. Call me scattered, tee hee.
Loved the meme things about you! ;)

I am page bender. I also write all over my books.
Allyn, I don't write, but most of my non-fiction is highlighted - some in multiple colors!
And with six bookshelves (in five different rooms no less!) I have to maintain some semblance of order...
Highlight?! Horrors. Okay, I just saw that is mostly in non-fiction books. :)
I've heard of the Five Love Languages but never picked it up. Might have to check it out.
No need to enter me, I already have a copy I plan on reading :)
Great meme responses!
I use either a bookmark or one of my business cards to mark my place. And I write in nonfiction books mostly. I do highlight some passages in fiction, though.
I like series books. You get to know the character over time and when a new one comes out, it's like meeting up with a friend.

Yeah, Debbie!!
Now I wouldn't mark up a fiction book. But between my marketing and self-help/success/motivation books, there's a whole lotta highlighting going on!
Fun meme!

I'm a multiple-book reader, too, but I must admit that I'm guilty (very, very guilty) of the bending, folding, dogearring, and margin writing. Not other people's books, of course-- just my own.
I hardly know how to read without a pencil in my hand! (-: I hate to borrow library books because I can't mark 'em.
Best,

It has been so fun reading all the different takes on this meme. And I'm finding out that my dog-earing seems to be a big no no! I hope I don't kicked out of the book blogging community! : )
