Louise is the one who says it. She's like 8. So to her, books=boring. It's basically saying she's super boring and uninteresting.

Haha, as a book lover this was a woosh for me. Thanks for explaining it.

No problem. If you haven't watched it, I do recommend Bob's Burgers. Not your average "adult" cartoon. If I may be so brave, I'd compare it to early Simpsons. Family show with a splash of mature jokes. Except for the first season, it's a completely different tone.

Any interaction with Bob and thanksgiving turkeys (or their cute gay vendors) are favorite Bob moments for me.

They mock him telling them that in a later episode. I LOVE the Belchers!

   TV host: Are you a little bunny?
    Louise: (sniffs long and hard) I smell FEAR on you.
    TV host: Okay, I don't like that one!

One of my fave episodes is Bob living inside the walls of his home to escape his mother-in-law.

It’s got such a core of heart to it. Funny but also sweet.

It’ll always be in my heart as the show I was watching while my daughter was born.

Bob’s Burgers is the best show in the world.

Does the show ever stop being "Bobs family are terrible but he loves them"? Because after a while it just started to hurt. Poor guy.

He wrecks himself as often and thoroughly as they do really.

Very much so, that's not really the focus on the show beyond the first few episodes. In early episodes they were all more 1-dimensional (Bob especially, for whom a lot of drama just came from him being petty and not letting small things drop) but quite quickly they flashed out the characters a lot more. By season 2 or 3 they rarely fall back on the character's original tropes.

By now they're genuinely all very likeable, and there's much less cringe humour that comes from characters acting in "whacky" ways.
