What do you call a compulsive book thief?

What do you call a compulsive book thief?

Happy Friday, everybody!

It's time for another edition of Words.

This week, our word is biblioklept.

Just by looking at it, you might be able to guess what it means. Yes, it means a person who steals books.

We all know at least one. Maybe you are one. I know I've lent out a few books in the past and never saw them again...and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that a few of the books on my shelves are books I initially borrowed ??

Here it is in a sentence: I love my friend dearly, but she's a bit of a biblioklept. Whenever one of my books goes missing, I usually find it at her house.

Uh-oh.

In other news this week, I've got a new blog post up on Grammarly: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/anaphora/

Check it out! It's all about anaphora, the repetition of a word or phrase in successive sentences to create rhythm.

Take a moment to give it a read. And take a stab at using biblioklept in a sentence. Take some time to enjoy yourself this weekend, too...it's important.

See you in two weeks!
