Is Kindred Spirits a Soul Mate?
A kindred spirit can be a soul mate, but kindred spirits are not necessarily soul mates, and kindred spirits connect without a romantic connection. Kindred spirits are alike, while soul mates and that significant other can be the complete opposite. Kindred spirits are not about attraction, kindred spirits are about finding that person, or persons, who understands you, who likes many of the things you do, and who does many of the things you do.
Book lovers, lovers of books, bibliophiles, readers, bookworms, collectors of books, book people - there are so many names for us, and book lovers are often connected at a deeper level than non-readers, understanding each other in a way that non-readers don't. Still, we are not all the same, and this is where Book Lovers and Kindred Spirits stands out from a regular book community.
