Doo You Think a Bookworm Is Someone Who’s Addicted to Books?
Question by deb2rule: Doo you think a bookworm is someone who’s addicted to books?
My husband believes I have an addiction to books because I love to read and am always reading and I have a book everywhere I go. And I even have a book in the car as well.
