A novel uses to have chapters. It's can have a sequel /síkuel/

An author /ˈɔːθə/ can be a novelist, a poet or a playwright. The authors can be on a book tour or book signing tour. It's when they are advertising and signing a copy of their book. An author can be a fast-seller when he buys a lot and has a lot of incomes. He also can be a wealthy author (pudiente). He publishes his book in a publishing house.(editorial)

When you are in a library you can't buy books, you can only borrow books.

You can buy books in a bookstore or bookshop. They can be paperbacks/pocket books or hardbacks (pasta dura) and, recently, e-books to read on an e-reader or e-book reader. And you can Flick through (hojear, pasar páginas rápidamente) the books or browse: echar un vistazo por la tienda.

A novel has characters (personajes) and a plot (argumento).

A book uses to have a blurb on the back cover, (publicidad en la tapa posterior)

A pop-up es un libro que despliega relieves recortados en sus páginas. Suelen ser para niños.

A page-turner es un libro que no puedes parar de leer., un libro apasionante.

And, the person who reads is a reader. He can be a keen, enthusiastic, eager or avid reader.
