Book affair

Reading a short casual fun book (usually a paperback or trade paperback) while attempting to read a much longer more complex book.

I was trying to get through Les Miserables by Victor Hugo but for my birthday, my husband gave me the first three books of the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay. I was forced to have a book affair because I wanted to read the Dexter books so badly!

Book Babe

It is what it says. A hot chick who likes to read and is constantly doing so. Can be found *GASP* in the library, in a cafe, in the back of the classroom, or somewhere quiet. Girls like this are normally hard to find anywhere else. SO DON'T COMPLAIN THAT YOU CAN'T FIND THEM IN A MALL OR OUT IN PUBLIC. They probably don't shop much, or are as giggly as most girls. Some can be EXTREMELY shy, some are abso-fuckinlotley crazy, proceed with caution.

DUUUDE, where are all the hot girls?
Look in the library, there's some book babes.
