Submitted by Editor on 13 August 2024

Book Lovers Day is celebrated on August 9 every year. This is an unofficial holiday observed to encourage bibliophiles to celebrate reading and literature. People are advised to put away their smartphones and every possible technological distraction and pick up a book to read. Wikipedia

On this year's book lover's day, we know that you love books but what kind of reader are you? Let's find out!

1. The ‘Happy Ending’ Readers.

This category of readers may seem to be the most emotional but they are the tough ones. They survive the tumultuous journey that seems to be the fate of every character in love whilst looking forward to their own fairytale. May their lives be filled with many happy endings

2. The ‘Always Borrowing’ Readers.

From the book lover's community, we love you guys but really, when are you ever going to return a book on time? We know them in every reading circle. They see you with a book and they have to get their hands on it. May they always return the books in good condition.

3. The ‘Picky’ Readers.

These ones know how to judge a book by its cover, title, plot, genre, and number of pages. If it's not what they think might interest them, they will not be bothered. May they always be satisfied with their choices.

4. The ‘Everlasting’ Readers.

They are never finished with a book. They take their time to read every word and sentence. If you ask them how their reading progress is going, they will tell you they still haven't finished the book they are currently reading. May they always find books that have them in a chokehold.

5. The ‘Over-Achieving’ Readers.

This is the eighth month of the year and they are done with their reading goals for 2024. Our ‘Agba’ readers! May they always have money to buy more books.

Whatever type of reader you are, take your time today and immerse yourself in your favorite book. It is an incredible honor to be a book lover. We celebrate with you!
