book nerd

Loves the library

A book nerd is someone intensely devoted to reading, often with deep knowledge of particular genres or authors.

The term combines affection with self-deprecation—book nerds typically embrace the label: I'm such a book nerd, I finished three novels this week.

Unlike the broader "bookworm," book nerd suggests engagement with reading culture and communities, not just solitary consumption.
