Synopsis: You know you’re a Book Nerd when…

—You have a minimum of 5 books on your night table.

—You never once thought the movie was better.

—Your favorite mug says “I’d rather be reading.”

—You use words like librocubicularist in casual conversation (though no conversation about books is ever "casual”).

—You wear a T-shirt that says—what else?—"Too many books, too little time."

Charming, affectionate, and unabashed in its celebration of book nerdiness, this little love letter is for every avid reader. Every page is packed with bright, playful, intricately detailed illustrations by Holly Maguire, and wonderful mottoes, definitions, relatable moments, and more.

My rating: ★★★★★

This was a book about loving books and it was as cute and relatable as it seems!

It was filled with bookish quotes, the occasional bookish fun fact, and of course, it had a ton of really cute illustrations!

I loved the illustrations! Some of them were so pretty that I just wanted to have them framed and put up on my wall. Lol.

I don’t have much else to say. It was short and sweet and the bookmarks at the end of the book were a huge bonus! I love bookmarks so I will be using the ones included in this book for sure!
