     The best way to have a better reading life is to be nerdy about it on occasion.

     How to be book nerdy? We've addressed some, but I have more for you today. This is basically a collection of my own "You know you're a book nerd when..." memes. :)

     The signs of a book nerd?

• You use books as a conversation starter.
