There's a story behind every Bookworm"!

Bookworms are the most precious worms in the world when they are humans, feeding upon the paper's body with their starving minds.

Reading is for pleasure

When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, __ook, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.

I am strangely excited to see how snarky and sarcastic all us bookworms are going to become when we__e old. We__l all be Mother Ogma__ with tattoos and piercings and purple WoW leggings carrying wands and staffs, and best of all everyone__ hair will finally be able to hold colour because we__l all have white hair! We__l all be blogging on WordPress and still waiting for Sherlock and still celebrating Christmas with Doctor Who specials while our grandchildren play quidditch_

If you want to find out if someone is a true bookworm or not, give them a thousand page novel and see what happens.

Books open new worlds to me.

Certain bookworms eat books. Eat them, swear in them, spill things on them.

Books were safer than other people anyway.

You are more likely to find three TVs inside a randomly selected house than you are to find a single book that is or was not read to pass an exam, to please God, or to be a better cook.

Books were my escape, they transported me to other worlds without step-mothers.

Some books you read and savor. Some, you carry close to your heart.

The pages of a book are given life only as they are opened

There's nothing like a printed book; the weight, the woody scent, the feel, the look.
