Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.
For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asked:
Have you ever been called a “book nerd?” If so, how did you react?
Of course! You name the bookish nickname, and I’ve probably been called it at least once.
The term “Book Nerd” isn’t negative at all to me! I love being a nerd to begin with, so tack on the word “book” and I love it even more! 🙂 Any time someone calls me this, I usually start grinning.
The second most popular one I get is simply, “Bookworm.” My family has called me that for years and years.
Here’s an example from just the other day from my dad:
Thanks for reading!
What are your favorite bookish nicknames?
Nice! I love any reader nickname as well! I’ve called myself pretty much all of them!
Thanks for visiting my BBH!

I’ve been called bookworm before, never book nerd, but I’d take it as a compliment!
<3
HAH! I love your dad’s comment. I don’t know if I’ve been called a book nerd or not, but I’d take it as a compliment too. I’m definitely known as the bookworm though!

No, I don’t consider it a slur either.

I wouldn’t get offended if someone called me a book nerd…I’d be proud of it!
😀
I don’t take the title as negative either. I LOVE IT!!
Me too! 🙂
HAHA! It’s a badge of honor! I don’t get why people don’t like”bookworm” I proudly say it about myself.
Right?! 🙂
I’ve always considered it pretty positive too! Who knows! Also, I loved that book so much haha, hope you enjoyed it!
I LOVED the book so much! I need to read it again soon! 🙂 I want to go back and highlight my top favorite passages.
I love being called a bookworm or book nerd! At secondary school, when we walk up to get the certificate on stage people from the class could put forward kind words and jokes to have said about you as you walk. One of the ones someone recommended about me was ‘we wonder if she likes books more than people’ and I was so humoured 😀
