In which other way do you express your love for books?

Post by Aspinewithwords_ »

I expressed my inner bookworm by discovering the book community and by making a book account and it has been a awesome experience. I have had so many book recommendations and book chats about books I never would have had in person with anyone.

I give them to my son or send him lists that I think he should read. He's 14 so I'm not sure he appreciates my help much at this point!

I chat with people I share the same book tastes with every so often to express my love for books openly. :D

I'm studying another language (Japanese) so that I can become a translator and help publish books in English. I want more Japanese authors to become famous worldwide!

I read as much as possible and share interesting stories and books with my friends and loved ones. Becoming a reviewer has become a new way for me to share my love for reading and also allows me to indulge in another of my passions which is writing. I have a personal library which I look forward to expanding. I participate in the BOTM discussions and participate in other forum threads. I am always looking for new ways to explore my passion for reading and sharing them with others.

In the room I use mainly as my office at home (I work from home most of the time, though I do keep office space at the main building), there are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves along all walls. These shelves are full of books... to the point that I have started to stack books on top of rows of shelved volumes simply because there is no room otherwise. My favourites are all within easy reach, on the shelves I can access (I use a wheelchair, so my reach is somewhat limited. I have to rely on household help if I want a book that is beyond my reach). My co-workers call this room the Library, and I suppose it is. The fact that my office space is also there is somewhat incidental. At any rate, it is a very comfortable place to work or to hold a meeting, as well as a comfortable place to read. I spend most of my waking hours in this room.

Currently I am a substitute teacher and one way I get to express my love for books is by using a book discussion with the students. When we manage to get through everything that the classroom teacher has left for us to do that day I can gather the children in a central area and we can talk about books. It is a nice way for students to not only share what they are reading but also inspire other students to want to read their books. Some classrooms that I work in have a time frame of about 15 minutes in them where they are being read a chapter book by the teacher. I have read "Wonder"; "Bud, Not Buddy"; "Stone Fox" and several others during this time. It is a wonderful experience. Even at the sixth grade level students still like being read to.

Facebook memes. I post one every day to try and get somebody interested in Reading. I have sweaters that say Reading Plus coffee equals happiness and other sayings as well.

This is awesome! I'd love to know more about Japanese authors.

I surround myself with books and have made it a regular part of my kids' lives. One of their first sentences have been "read book" before they turn 2. I take them to the library a few times a month and always browse the book section in any store we walk in to. I also talk about books to my sister and close friends.

I constantly talk about books that I have read. In some conversations, I slip in a fact or statement and relate it to something I read. The latter helps me with critical thinking. I have relatives who give me books as a result of me always talking about what I have read. I guess I express my love for books with a good impression.

I express my love for books by reading to others, talking to as many people as will listen about the books I am reading, and giving away the books I am finished with to friends who will appreciate them.
