have your nose in a book
be absorbed in reading
To be deeply involved in reading a book and not notice much else around you.
Hear it in real life
What was Tom like at school?
He always had his nose in a book.
My daughter has her nose in a book whenever we travel by train.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: have your nose on a book
Say: have your nose in a book
Use the preposition “in” in this fixed expression.
Build it
How it fits in a sentence.
have your nose in a book; had his nose in a book; keep your nose in a book
Your turn: say it out loud
My daughter has her nose in a book whenever we travel by train.
Say it out loud two or three times, until it feels like yours.
have your nose in a book
be absorbed in reading
“My daughter has her nose in a book whenever we travel by train.”
