/ˈbɪblɪə(ʊ)fʌɪl/
noun
A person who collects or has a great love of books.
"I find joy in sharing books with my fellow bibliophiles"
Similar: book lover, bookworm, bibliomaniac, book girl, book boy
Bookish people or "Bookish girls/boys" are women (and in many cases), men who would rather enjoy their
favorite book at home in the company of
their comfort drink and a cozy blanket. They enjoy traveling to
different worlds and regions through their books rather than going outside into the real world.
While the phrase can describe anyone who loves books, it is sometimes used to represent a particular
cultural or
aesthetic stereotype—someone who is intellectual, introverted, or deeply immersed in the world of
fiction. It can also
be a playful term used to describe someone's personality, hobbies, or even fashion style that is
inspired by literature.
