BOOKWORM: meaning and examples

Good morning!

Today is St. George's Day (the patron saint of England and Catalonia), otherwise know as St. Jordi's Day in Catalonia, where it is celebrated with books and roses. In honour of this day, today we include a special "book" word!

Today's word is: bookworm

It means: a person who reads a lot.

Example 1:
My daughter is a real bookworm. She's always reading. She especially likes the Geronimo Stilton series. 

Example 2:
It can be difficult to choose a book for a bookworm because it seems like they've already read everything! One solution is to give the bookworm in your life a gift certificate to use in their favourite bookshop.

Happy St. Jordi's Day and Happy Reading!
