Week 6: Hey, I’m a bibilophile! (and other ‘B’ewdiful ‘B’ words for book lovers)

What I love about week 6 words is they are all about books and writing! (Speaking of ‘b’ words, this week is Brief, But I have a good reason… More on that later.)

Now bring out those ‘B-book’ words we love…

best-seller: n. both the book and the author – and yes, it has a hyphen for future reference)

bibilophile: n. a lover of books

biddable: adj.  willing to do what is asked; obedient; docile (good advice for a debut author!)

bildungsroman: n. a novel whose theme is the early growth and development of its main character.

billet-doux: n. a love letter

See you next Sunday as I continue my dictionary odyessey…  Week 7 of My Leap Year of Words.
