I saw this on Facebook & had to share. I've always loved the term #BookWorm I think the Romanian and French names are wonderful. What other names are there around the world for a #BookLover?

I took my kid with me to a dr appt yesterday. She packed her busy bag and kept herself very well occupied during the whole visit. As my dr was leaving the room, he said he had to commend me, because my daughter had an actual paper book in her hands (his words). He said, “however you‘re doing that, keep doing it.” Now that‘s doctor‘s orders I can follow!

Yes, she is reading up there. 🙂 I used to read up trees all the time as a kid, and it makes me happy. 😍 Although she upped my game — I always used to climb with the book in my shirt. She built a pulley, and climbs up first, and then hauls her book up in a bucket. 📚🧺 #raisingreaders

Crazeedi So special and awesome 5y
CouronneDhiver Smarty pants 🙌🏽🙌🏽 5y
BarbaraJean Love this—and a pulley system for her book? So ingenious! I used to sit in trees and read when I was a kid, too. But I‘d always reach up and wedge the book in a cleft of the tree before climbing and grabbing it on my way up. I miss that tree. 😊 5y

Kaye My reading tree in our front yard was my hideout. It had a perfect V to sit in. I was always reprimanded for reading so much and told to put the book down. Don‘t read at the table , go out and play , get your nose out of that book and go find something else to do. So my tree was my reading hideout. 5y
TiredLibrarian @howjessreads @kaye @BarbaraJean I loved to read in a tree in my yard, too! It was very leafy and I loved to disappear up there with a book. It was especially fun when someone was looking for me, practically under the tree, and couldn't find me 😉 The book bucket is taking it to a whole new level! 5y

It is mid-term primary election day in the USA. I am volunteering at the polls this morning, holding a campaign sign for a friend. There is a young lady in her late teens or early twenties sitting near me, holding a sign for her candidate... reading a BOOK. In PRINT. From the LIBRARY. This makes me deliriously happy. #raisingreaders

So, the little man is going to his first kids‘ birthday party today. He comes to me carrying a book and says ‘Mommy, I want to take my book to the party so I can look at it when I get bored.‘ That‘s my boy! Only problem is: How do I convincingly tell him that this is impolite when I know the desire to sneak away to read at social gatherings so very much myself. 😂😂😂🙈 #raisingreaders

kgriffith Personally I would tell him that that‘s excellent self-care planning, and ask if he thought maybe his friend‘s parent/guardian might recommend a place where he could keep the book from the start of the event, and go read it uninterrupted when he felt the need 😍 6y

This picture will always be one of my faves. A year ago we were in Flagstaff, and because Aunt Jessica can't help herself, I bought a book each for my nieces and nephew and daughters. As we walked out of the bookstore, my sister told the kids to sit on the wall for a minute while I ran next door to pick up our burrito order. And this spontaneous cuteness happened!! So glad my sister got the pic! 😍📖😍📖😍

Continuing my early #readerilove posts for #17booklove #day14. Every year, my city hosts a jazz musical festival which my family adores. We spend the entire day on the public square with thousands of enthusiasts. The public library is just one block away, so my two girls & I take a break to walk there & get some new books, which results in pictures like this one. 😉 #raisingreaders
