#WeirdWordWednesday @Cbee

Getting back into my weird word list. This one is another word I happened upon while reading. Love weird, wonderful and new to me words.

A very long journey today from the Lakes due to Storm Bertie, thank goodness for the kindle!

squirrelbrain Oh no! How are you finding the book? I started it on audio but gave up fairly quickly. 🤷‍♀️ 5mo
jhod @squirrelbrain yes I'm not sure I'd have got on with it on audio, too many words I don't recognise! I'm quite intrigued by the mystery though... Meanwhile I can't get south of Rugby 😞 5mo
squirrelbrain Oh dear 😞 and are you working tomorrow? Hopefully you‘ll get home at a reasonable time. 5mo

Half-term mini-haul: Part 1.

I like this more for it heroic read is how it shows the people involved are from all walks of life, and other parts of the world, where most of them had no expectation of being credited, receiving pay or a reward for their contribution to make the OED.

This is not a perfect read but for me an interesting one.

I'm really enjoying this, I had no idea that so many ordinary people helped to produce the OED 😊

It‘s #WeirdWordWednesday I‘m sharing the cover of the final book in a trilogy today. I‘ve previously shared the covers of the first two books, because the titles are all #WeirdWords, which I hope you all have enjoyed.

CBee I‘m very much enjoying your word choices! 😊 10mo
CatLass007 @CBee If I hadn‘t just happened upon this trilogy searching for something else, I doubt I‘d have anything to post. But I just love the way the covers are designed and the marvelous words that the author chose as his book titles. 10mo
