Musing Mondays is a weekly event, hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading, where you are asked a book/reading related question and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.What do you do with the book before you start reading it?
I usually just dive straight into a book when I’m going to read it, but I always make sure that it’s far away from anything that will damage the book (food, water, nail polish, nail polish remover, etc.) and I’ll also fuss about how to open the book without damaging it (I’m obsessed with keeping my books in good condition).What do you usually do before you start reading?

Louise is a bookworm, writer, and aspiring librarian from the North East of England. When she’s not reading or procrastinating writing, she can be found dreaming up story ideas, watching anime, movies, or trashy reality TV, and annoying her pets.
I also am very careful of opening books! I don't want any creases or broken spines. Here's my MM: http://whatsontheshelf.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/musing-monday-10/
I didn't even consider that I don't read around anything that can soil/stain/spoil the book. But I don't read around nail polish, etc.
I usually read the blurb on the book and any author info, then jump right in.
