pickIn all the craziness of last night, I never posted this review!
Such a beautiful little book that explores the language of words that don‘t have direct English translations.
Hubby is home from the hospital and still sleeping, thank you for all the well wishes! I ended up being awake all night, and almost finished my other book to pass the time. I‘ll probably crash as soon as Maya gets off to school.

Picking off some low-hanging fruit for #NFNov, and this book has been on my shelf for years! Found it in the basement level of The Strand a few years ago.
Plus, my attention is shot this week, so I need short books with lots of illustrations. 😂

#day29 #lyricalapril #cominghome I have a 'thing' for those words that cannot be directly translated into other languages ... and this beautiful Welsh word is one of the words that has stuck with me....as someone who lives thousands of miles from my home country and family.... it touches my 💗.....
pickA lovely meditation sort of book for when your brain (and sinuses) feel fried. My personal favorite word was 'tsundoku' which means leaving a book unread after buying it, along with stacks of other books...

Rainy and icy outside means spending the day reading in bed. Also 'Lost in Translation' works as band name, there are quite few miscellaneous indie and alt bands with the name. #marchintoreading
Commuovere (Italian) v. To be moved is a heartwarming way, usually relating to a story that moved you to tears.
❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭
So many great words in this book.
pickOne of my #Christmaspresents from @BooksGirlsCats 😃I love this book! Beautiful words from other languages which have no direct translation in English along with lovely illustrations. Quite a few, like the one above, are very bookish.
Tsundoku (Japanese): n. Leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up together with other unread books. 📚
Tsundoku- n. Leaving a book unread after buying it, typically piled up together with other unread books
I am so glad there is a word in Japanese that describes my habits.
Definitely another #booknerdproblem of mine
Probably the worst part is that I buy books, leave them unread, and off I go to the library (or the library's online catalogue) to borrow books that I do read!

Love this book - as a former German student I love the idiosyncrasies of languages!
pickI love this book!!! Ella Frances Sanders has the most beautiful illustrations. I was so enchanted by all of the words and ideas from the different languages and cultures. (Mångata = Swedish) #bythesea #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept #illustrations
Beautiful, interesting, new.
I prefer "second refill" ☕️☕️☕️
