In today's guest post, regular contributor Denise Neary shares a new word with us. She always finds the coolest things!
I learned a new word today…..bookprint. Do you know it?
A bookprint, according to Scholastic (and they should know, right?) is the list of books that leave an indelible mark on our lives, shaping who we are and who we become.
Log into Scholastic---you can enter your five books (I hope it is an easier task for you than it was for me!), and learn more about the books that are significant to all sorts of people.
It is fun, it is interesting, and it makes you grateful again for the power of books.
Unlike fingerprints, two people’s bookprints might look the same under a microscope---but even if you and I have the same list of five significant books, our bookprints aren’t the same because the individual reader makes the book different. That is just one of the many things I love about reading.
As they say at Scholastic, you are what you read! Hey, what’s YOUR bookprint?
