I almost forgot it's Wednesday. The extra day off has me confused. Anyway, I ran across this word tonight, when I started a new book. New word to add to my vocabulary. Love new to me words!

Oh, that my head were water,
My eyes a fount of tears!
Then would I weep day and night
For the slain of my poor people.
Jeremiah 8:23
Getroyert: To be sad, grieve, mourn

I love incredibly specific color words, and ones that are fun to say. I was definitely able to picture viridescent silk when it came up in a scene, but I looked it up anyway and was so fascinated to learn that part of the nature of viridescence is something becoming green. I can‘t think of another color word quite like that.
pickDusti Bowling‘s books tend to tackle some tough topics and this one is no exception. Avalyn deals with life threatening asthma and allergies while also trying to get to know Adam, a new student in her class (TW in comments) who somehow seems connected to the dust storms. Avalyn loves words and is studying for the spelling bee. Each chapter includes interesting and relevant words she practices.

From now on, I will no longer be using the term hashtag. It will be octothorpe from now on. 😉😏

I‘ve known this word for years, but I hadn‘t seen it in print for awhile until recently. I love that this statue came up when I googled it! #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday #facepalm

Somewhat ironic that there‘s a fancy erudite word for the act of oversimplifying words 😂
It‘s finally started cooling off enough that I got to do some reading outside today! It was so lovely!
