So You Think You're a Bookworm?
2 journalers for this copy...
I got this little hardcover at the Book Cellar, while there for the monthly book group. It has some amusing bits about styles of book-lovers, along with entertaining illustrations. (One of my favorites is opposite the title page - a man shrinking back in fear from the tall, overstuffed bookcase that's about to collapse on him!) There are riffs on genres, on fan-fic, on reading-group styles, and much more. One bit I especially liked was the "(Not So) YA" - as a fan of many YA books I have sometimes run into people who don't understand why an adult (a senior citizen, yet!) would bother with books aimed at teens, and this section features a few scripts to use in rebuttal - some frivolous, but some very much to the point.

Picked up at May 2019 Boston BookCrossers Meetup and read the same day. Amusing checkout counter book with some fun illustrations but I didn't find myself in any of the bookworm profiles.
