Back when all books were made of paper the term "book lover" referred to people who love books and to people who love reading. I think these days we need a new term to describe people who love reading because they don't all LOVE books.
I've always thought of myself as a book lover and yet all my life I've bought books, read them and passed them on in some way. I rarely kept books I'd read unless it was to find someone to share it with. And then they were gone.
I've never been a note-taker so I never wrote in books are marked them but I never minded folding the corner down to mark a page. And I nearly always read paperbacks and had my current book in my back pocket and i was pretty hard on those books. Fussy people didn't want them when I finished.
So I think I'm probably not a book lover but a lover of reading; a lover of stories.
