"Bibliophilia or bibliophilism is the love of books. Accordingly a bibliophile is an individual who loves books. A bookworm is someone who loves books for their content, or who otherwise loves reading. The -ia-suffixed form "bibliophilia" is sometimes considered to be an incorrect usage; the older "bibliophilism" is considered more correct. The adjective form of the term is bibliophilic. A bibliophile may be, but is not necessarily, a book collector." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliophilia)
That is a great description of me. I LOVE books and reading. I spend most of my free time with a book in my hands losing myself in the story. Being a teacher, I don't often get a chance to read during the school year so I try to read as much as I can when we have breaks. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring and Summer breaks are the best time for me because I get to read and a lot.
I have been teaching 6th grade for three years. This means that my first group of 6th graders are moving into high school, which is sad for me because they have given me some of the best book suggestions over the last three years. I prefer YA fiction to regular adult fiction because it's less predictable and better story telling. I decided to start this blog so that I can have a place to discuss books with other bibliophiles. Feel free to leave me comments and book suggestions. Please keep it PG. I will work on a list of the books that I have read also.
