9. They Always Want To Go To A Bookstore Or Library

Some people like to go to the mall, while book lovers love going to a nearby bookstore or a library. There’s just something so peaceful about being surrounded by tons of books and other book lovers. If you’re really in search for a new book lover best friend, head over to a bookstore asap!

10. They’re Reading A Book….Or Two….Or Three

Book lovers come in all shapes and sizes. Some of us like to only read one book at a time and not pick up a new one until we finish the current one. However, there are quite a few of us who like to read multiple books at a time, usually leaving a different book in each room we like to spend time in or reading an ebook for when we’re on the go.
