10 Ways to Know If She’s a Book Lover:
1. Always has a book or e-reader in her possession.
2. Talks about characters as if they real people.
3. Considers shopping going to a bookstore and then finding a seat and reading….to see if it’s a good book for purchase
4. Would rather read the book than watch the movie.
5. If the movie is seen, talks non-stop about what wasn’t in the movie, what should have been included, and how the book is so much better.
6. Considers the best gift ever to be a book!
7. Gives books as gifts, even to non-readers, in hopes that their book will spark a reading addiction.
8. Says the best smell is the inside of a book, as opposed to the smell of a new car, new purse, or perfume.
9. Doesn’t get excited when meeting a celebrity….but gets giddy when meeting and talking with authors!
10. Is a collector of anything related to books: bookmarks, paperbacks, book covers for e-readers, etc.

This is cute. I can definitely relate to wanting to read the book before I see the movie. I have lots of movies (like The Help) that I really want to see, but I’ve just got to get to the book first.
Oh, yes! My book club went and saw The Help and we all agreed that while it was a good movie, the book was sooo much better
Looks like I’m a book lover (or an obsessed reader) according to your questions!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing!
It seems I get asked a lot about what makes me a book lover or who are the people who absolutely love books, so I did it in a fun way
I love books and certainly love talking books, too! Glad to know I am in good company
