Booklovers, Bibliophiles, and Bibliomaniacs- Oh My!

I found out today that "booklover" is actually in the dictionary.

According to Merriam-Webster "booklover" is defined as:

One fond of books - compare to bibliophile 




So naturally I decided to look up "bibliophile":

A person who loves or collects books





Then, curiosity got the best of me and I wondered if there was a name for some kind of obsession with books and I found:

bibliomania- craze for books or reading




Once I realized that I went through all this trouble for my love of books I concluded that I am proudly all 3!

  2. I love it! And I love that you went looking for new words - this post is one that truly illustrates the passion you have for the written word. The memes and gifs are excellent too - especially the Bell one :)
