A little less morose than last week's word. Things must be looking up.

AmyG @dabbe Did you get Matt‘s book? 1w

CBee Ooooo a good one. I thought about posting “fecund” today but for some reason thought I‘d already done that one at some point. Reading “Mythos” and Demeter is fecund in that she keeps things growing and fertile ♥️ 1w

dabbe @CBee Another excellent one. Fun to pronounce and mispronounce, too! 😂 1w

CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂 1w

I love color words! The bird is a flavescent bulbul, and the fish is a flavescent peacock (a type of cichlid). Apologies for not posting the past two weeks, friends! #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 If I had seen this word before today, I would have thought it was a word that was a description of the way something tastes.😂 But now I know better. Good word!! Thanks for sharing. 1w

TheSpineView Good one! ❤️ 1w

TheBookHippie I love birds 🙂🙃 what a fun word! 1w

psalva This is a fun one! I haven‘t posted in forever because ever since an iPhone update my phone app is not functioning the same, but hopefully i can resolve it if i get some free time to look into it soon. Thanks for the continued tags! I always look forward to #weirdwords! 1w

CBee @CatLass007 ha! I definitely didn‘t expect it to mean a shade of yellow 😂 1w

CBee @TheBookHippie isn‘t this little guy cute? So yellow and poofy. 1w

CBee @BookmarkTavern it‘s such a happy color 💛 1w

CBee @psalva oh no! I‘m sorry to hear that. Have you reached out to Litsy help? 1w

I was fine putting marginalia in my textbooks, and maybe literature I was reading for school, but now? It‘s hard for me to write in books (maybe that‘s why #LPMBC wasn‘t my cup of tea 😂)! Anyway, such a pretty word, hope you all enjoy! Here‘s an article about weird medieval marginalia: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/medieval-marginalia-books-doodles

mcctrish It‘s crazy how many years passed before I got over myself and wrote marginalia in my cookbooks 1mo

Bookwomble Nope!🫸📝A lovely, mellifluous word, and ok in ancient grimoires, but otherwise, Nope! 😄 1mo

lil1inblue I used to be against marginalia, but then I inherited some of my grandfather's books. I didn't get to know him well because he was sick after I was born and died when I was young. But I did get to know him through his marginalia. So now I write in all the books. 💖 1mo

TheSpineView I love this word! 1mo

dabbe When we used to have real textbooks in high school, I taught the kids to mark them up with post-it-notes because they couldn't write in them. The power of a post-it-note! 🤩 1mo

Amiable Just can‘t do it! 😬 Although your experience is absolutely lovely, @lil1inblue ! (edited) 1mo

BookmarkTavern I love writing in my books! 😅😅😅 Seeing my different notes in books I reread regularly, like Dracula, are so much fun! 1mo

CBee @Bookwomble you just used another wonderful word - mellifluous!! 1mo

CBee @lil1inblue that‘s so lovely ♥️♥️ 1mo

CBee @dabbe post-it notes are the bomb. Couldn‘t live without em! 1mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern that‘s cool! I don‘t know why it‘s such a weird thing for me 🤷‍♀️ 1mo

BethM It makes me@think of our missing friends @BookishMarginalia and @WanderingBookaneer ❤️ 1mo

CBee @BethM oh! I hope they‘re both doing well - any idea what‘s going on with them? 1mo

BethM @CBee I‘m not sure they haven‘t posted in years. I check their pages every once in awhile. 1mo

CBee @BethM 😢🤷‍♀️ 1mo

I‘m happy #FoodAndLit gave me a reason to go back to the beginning of this cozy mystery series set in #Botswana.

The later books in the series get a little silly, but this one is full of heart.

Thanks again @Texreader for sending the book.
