Signs That You Are A Book Nerd

We all love books. I hope you agree. We just differ on the degree of our fondness towards them. Some may find books as a medium to escape reality or a company that provides an endless amount of knowledge, but we cannot deny the fact that there are others who treat books as lovers. We call them the book nerds. The following are signs that may confirm your membership to the book nerd club:
They Don’t Go Outside the House Without a Book
A book nerd always has with them a book wherever they go. This is not necessarily a physical copy, some bring with them electronic format or even audiobook. Book nerds always make sure every vacation bag is accompanied by a book. They feel incomplete without it.


They Hate People Destroying Their Books
Book nerds treat books as pets. They see books as living organisms deserving of care and compassion. Every book nerd hates to see books whose covers are bent or folded, or pages torn and ripped. It hurts them to see their books not in a perfect condition.
They Don’t Like Other Borrowing Their Books
Book nerds hate to hear people asking them to borrow their books. Yes, book nerds are selfish when it comes to books. They don’t want to be apart from them. They feel so anxious every time they let someone borrow their books. Their minds are always thinking on the possible bad things that might happen to the books their friends borrowed from them. 
Purchased Books Should Be Perfect
Book nerds spend time in bookstores in a minimum average of one hour every visit. They just find it very satisfying to be surrounded by shelves and books that are new and in perfect condition. They also spent time to arrange books on the shelves in the store. It satisfies them to see these books organized. Every time they purchase books, these should be in a perfect condition. They will never buy books that have stickers on the cover, have folds and scratches and whose paper edges are already oxidized. The books they are about to purchase should be the newest as possible.  Also, some book nerds dreamt to be working in bookstores. 
They Talk About Books All the Time
Some may find book nerds annoying already. Most of the time, they only talk about books whether they are in the office, school, mall and even on social medias. Book nerds always want to share their good reads. They want to influence people around them to read the latest books that they love. It really satisfies them to see their friends read their book recommendations.

They Judge People According to the Books They Read
Yes, they don’t usually admit this, but book nerds secretly judge the people around them based on the books they own or read. They might base their decision on who to choose as a friend based on the books they collect or like to talk about. Also, it is a deal breaker for them if their date doesn’t read books. One must read books for them to like and love you.

They Do Judge the Book By its Cover
The main reason for book nerds to judge book by its cover it because they want these books to look good on their shelves. They judge the book by its cover because for them it is inevitable. Book covers are one of the best things that might happen to a book. A bad book cover greatly influences the readers mood or anticipation to read the book.

They Treat Books as Lovers
They secretly say to their books that, “Don’t worry, I will keep you safe”. Book nerds treat books as a living person. They make sure their books smell good and are not stained. They usually caught their selves sniffing books especially if they are new. Book nerds don’t practice monogamy when it comes to their romantic relationships with their books. Love to books should not be limited, that is they always believe.
