“Normal” people have sure got some funky ideas about bookworms.
But don’t fret, friends! That’s what Bookish MythBusters is for. This bi-monthly feature created by the lovely, vivacious ME will clear up those odd bookish legends.
Today’s mission? The Bookworm Stereotypes!
Myth #1: Bookworm’s Don’t Talk to People
HAHAHAHA. Well, not if we can help it, no.
But really, bookworms don’t just read all the books. We chat about the books, gossip about the books, cackle about the books, sob about the books, scream about the books, WE TALK ABOUT THE BOOKS. WITH PEOPLE.
I mean, what do you think the 56, 681, 115,137 book bloggers (this number is accurate there was a study and everything google it) do with their blog?? Eat it?
So yes, bookworms are all:
But we’re also all about the:
Myth #2: Bookworm’s Utter with the Supremest Terminology
Okay but how did this myth even come to exist? Let’s take a look at some of the eloquent utterances of a couple of readers after finishing their latest reads:
Myth #3: BOOKWORMS HAVE BOOKS ONLY BOOKS THERE IS NO LIFE ONLY BOOKS
What?! That’s not true! We totally eat and occasionally sleep too! Sometimes we even brush our teeth.
Time to face reality, bud. Reader’s can possess a whole array of interests! And if it’s evidence you desire, search no further:
- Alexandra @ Twirling Pages blogs about books AND ballet
- Marie @ Drizzle and Hurricane Books gabs about books AND travel
- Josephine @ Our Summary chats about books AND beauty AND food AND Christianity
We ❤ our books, but we ❤ our numerous other passions too.
Myth #4: Bookworms are Super Duper Smart!
Yes! We are! That’s what happens when you read! Thanks for noticing! No MythBusting needed here, coconut!
Great post, especially myth number 4!

New to blogging
We need your help!
I’d like to ask everyone to please take a few minutes out of their hectic holiday schedule to learn about our project, the #giftofreading project. We are raising money to benefit a local school and community center by giving more kids better access to books.
You can learn more about our project at https://startsomegood.com/gift-of-reading. Even the smallest donation would be appreciated. Please share this post, fb it, tweet it, blog it, email it and tell some friends, and help some deserving kids get the #giftofreading.
Thanks for your time and have a wonderful holiday season.
Love reading, also like going to the gym and seeing friends haha
People assume I only read books and it’s like I got to play Skyrim too. 😂
A apologise if I offended you, the post is creative and has really good prompts and has one of my all time favourite Christmas movie gifs so thank you for making me smile, carry on your good work. I’m sorry if we got off on the wrong foot,Have a good day
A good way to get confidence is to actually enjoy and talk about this post I spent hours on instead of advertising yourself 👍
Hi I’m new to the blogging life and was wondering if you could read my work and follow me I’d appreciate it as i am interested in literature and spoken word and lack a bit of confidence Thank you for your time and have a nice day
Thanks!

Thanks! WAHOO TO EXTROVERTED BOOKWORMS!! You rock!! Gabbing about books is the very best isn’t it ☺️ thank you for your lovely comment!
Love this! As an extroverted bookworm, I’m bothered when people assume I just want to be quiet all the time. More often than not, I stop reading for a second to go bother someone about how exciting something I’m reading is! Thanks for shattering the stereotypes, friend!
