Abibliophobia is today’s Word of the Day. I discovered this word serendipitously while searching on Amazon. The word and definition were imprinted on a t-shirt. And when I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for April Fool’s Day.

WORD TYPE DEFINITION PRONUNCIATION
Abibliophobia Noun Someone who is afraid of running out of things to read ay-bib-lee-oh-fo-be-ah
SOURCE Unknown. This is a made-up word. Clever and funny.
