20 signs you're a true bookworm.

20 signs that will officially make you a bookworm:

1. You've always been the kid with the book, even before you could properly read.

2. You started wearing eyeglasses at an early age, likely due to the countless hours spent buried in books.

3. Your parents always scolded you for reading past your bedtime or caught you reading with dim lights on, the very reason you ended up needing those glasses in the first place.

4. You always tuck a book into your purse, just in case you have a spare moment to dive into a new world.

5. You're the one walking the subway platform, completely absorbed in your book. You don't mind waiting for a delayed bus as long as you're engrossed in a thrilling story.

6. You always try to catch a glimpse of the title of the book anyone in public is carrying, secretly adding it to your mental list of must-reads.

7. Your public library card is a staple in your wallet. You always intend to check out five books at a time but often end up with only two due to time constraints.

8. You experience a minor panic attack when you finish a book and realize the library is closed the next day. It's like a bookworm's worst nightmare!

9. You maintain a list of books to read, which seems to grow weekly with every new recommendation or discovery.

10. Your shelves are overflowing with books that will take you months to finish, yet you can't resist buying more whenever you find yourself in a bookstore.

11. You can't help but linger for hours in the bookstore, swearing you won't buy anything, but inevitably leaving with at least one new addition to your collection.

12. You always read the book before watching the movie adaptation. It's a cardinal rule for any true bookworm.

13. More often than not, you prefer the book to its movie adaptation. Nothing beats the depth and detail of the written word.

14. Sometimes, you skip the movie altogether because you don't want to spoil the perfectly imagined plot you've created in your mind.

15. Given the choice, you'd rather stay in and read on weekends than go out.

16. You've been known to take your book on dates to Starbucks, where you can enjoy a good read with your favorite beverage.

17. You've started following more bookish Instagrammers on social media and eagerly add their recommendations to your ever-growing "To Be Read" list.

18. You can't resist the urge to smell the pages of a new book. There's something magical about the scent of ink and paper.

19. You eye Kindle suspiciously, convinced that nothing can replace the feeling of holding a physical book in your hands. You vow never to switch to the e-version format.

20. You secretly hope to receive books as presents, and when you do, you can't contain your excitement as you tear away the gift wrap to reveal your next literary adventure.
