Book Nymph

I don't mind the term bookworm, it's one I would apply to myself quite readily, however doesn't book-nymph have such a nicer ring to it? Instead of being a spineless creature of dirt, you get to call yourself after a mythical creature of nature. Much prettier. Although another fun twist is book-wyrm, which translates to book-serpent or dragon and is also a vast improvement on the regular old spelling and meaning which was meant to be derogatory from origination. Nymph, wyrm, or worm, however I'd accept any title that has book attached to it since I'm quite attached to those. It's very fitting that we snapped these pictures with a vintage novel we recently added to our collection because I have been spending every free moment with my nose buried in a book for the last few weeks! I think Thomas is getting quite tired of me being so preoccupied with reading actually! It's the sort of obsessive phase with books I'd have when I was younger when I would get in trouble for staying up too late reading. I remember being in junior high and thinking that I was the only kid who was getting yelled at for reading too much--the reading wasn't really the problem, it was the reading until 2am on a school night that was objected to! Of course now I'm an adult and no one can stop me if I decide to stay up until 2am reading...
