I am a Book Geek, Book Nerd and Bookworm: What are you?

Howdy Bookworms, Book geeks, and Book Nerds!! Today I am switching it up a bit and geeking out about geeking out about books. This is what I do when I am supposed to be writing reviews. So here I am instead of writing a review for my most recent read, I am off in a different direction, talking about Bookworms, Book geeks, and Book Nerds!


Just for fun, I thought about what each one is, and then I did a little internet search, took a few quizzes, and then made this list. I have come to the conclusion I am all of them!!! Book nerd, geek, or bookworm, I am geeking out with my thoughts on why I think I am a book nerd, geek, or worm, and I found it fun to do!!

I am a Bookworm

  • I have tons of books to read and feel I have nothing to read yet I am always reading
  • I have piles of books beside my bed and even sleep with some
  • I pack twice as many books for a trip just because I like looking at them
  • I love to smell books
  • I collect bookmarks and book sleeves (Norma makes the bookmarks and my Mom the sleeves) and I match bookmarks to the themes or mood of the book and book sleeves to the color of the covers
  • When I am not reading I looking for my next read and constantly making new lists
  • I get excited about anything that is book related
  • It’s a good day when I see a new book written by a favourite author

I am a Book Geek

  • It drives me nuts when I see someone reading and I can’t see what they are reading
  • I have to control myself when I am in a book store not to suggest books to everyone
  • I read more Ebooks than prints even though I have stacks of prints
  • I roll my eyes every time I hear someone say they don’t have time to read because reading is like breathing to me
  • I fall asleep reading every night otherwise my mind doesn’t quiet down enough to fall asleep
  • I want to read every book I read with someone so I can talk about it and see what they have to say about the book
  • I am introvert but won’t say I am socially awkward
  • I love series but often forget what happened in the previous books by the time I read the next one
  • People often look at me with blank looks on their faces when I start talking about books
  • All my friends are fictional and I relate to them more than I do real people.
  • I can tune out everything and everyone when I am reading or thinking about books and I constantly need to snap back to reality
  • I wrote this post and found it fun.

I am a Book Nerd

  • I find with any conversation I have, I have the opportunity to say, I read a book about that.
  • I can relate almost everyone to a character I have read and it helps me understand people more. I want to give advice to people based on a character I read.
  • I learn things through the books I read and use them to relate to the world around me
  • I spend too much time dealing with the emotions of the characters
  • I want to know everything there is about the structure of a book and not because I want to write one.
  • I am in reading groups
  • When I finish reading a book I want to geek out about the structure, elements and themes of the story.
  • I spent hours looking up thing I want to know about books, gathering information and then struggle with narrowing it done to one topic.
  • I feel the need to know why the author wrote the characters the way they did
  • I have posts planed to geek out on topics related to books
  • I have trouble narrowing down what I want to write in my reviews and posts because I want to dissect the book.
  • I worry I might of missed something in a book so I read reviews on the internet for books after I read them
  • I hold back how much I really over think a book so I am too nerdy

  1. I didn’t realize these three labels had distinctions among them. I fit some bullet points from each of the three lists, but like the previous commenter, I’m probably mostly a book worm 🙂

    1. They are interchangeable and subjective, but mostly just fun! I hope my list made you chuckle a bit!! I do worry I might just be too much of book geek and nerd! LOL. Thank you for joining in on my fun, Dave!!

  3. A little late to the game but I loved your post. Although I have attributes of all three I think I’m mostly a bookworm. I was thrilled to see I’m not the only one who matches a bookmark to the book – I’ve never even said it out loud before!
