Words all book lovers shall know.
Here I am, with a new post. Sorry
for the delay. I was busy in searching, finding and buying new books. I never
planned on writing “book-lover’s vocabulary”, but as soon as I started writing
about things all book lovers will understand, a thought came into mind, why not
write all the words that are related to a book lover. So here it is, enjoy.
