booklovers
Devoted page-turners
People who love books—reading them, collecting them, or simply being around them.
The term suggests more than casual enjoyment; booklovers often have overflowing shelves, strong opinions about editions, and difficulty leaving bookstores empty-handed.
The used bookstore was a haven for booklovers.
Also spelled as two words: book lovers.
