It‘s raining outside, I‘ve got hot chocolate, the blanket right out of the dryer, and a lovely book. It‘s a perfect afternoon.

Do I have 10 different rain related words saved in my notes app? No comment.

AnnCrystal While not my favorite adaptation, I found it interesting how the movie Dracula 2000 connected Dracula to Judas instead of Vlad II Dracul.

Although, much preferred the Dracula Untold movie, which was a clever masterpiece that combined the History with the Legend. Wish they had made a novelisation. 🥀🦇💝.

Today‘s #weirdwords choice could make you hungry, or make you feel ill, depending on how you feel about peas 🫛😂 #weirdwordwednesday

CatLass007 Great word! I hate canned peas but I love snow peas. 1d

CatLass007 Good morning! 1d
CBee @CatLass007 good morning! I grew up on canned peas but once I tried fresh, I never wanted canned again! Same with asparagus! 1d
CatLass007 My Mom used to tell a story that I don‘t remember happening but it sounds like me. When I was in daycare we couldn‘t get up from the lunch table until we cleaned our plates. When Mom came to pick me up after she got off work, I was still sitting at the table eating my peas. With. My. Knife. One. Pea. At. A. Time.🤣 24h
Bookwormjillk These are fresh in my garden now and my daughter can‘t get enough. I‘ll have to let her know. 23h
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! BTW, I love snow 🫛 💚 22h
TheBookHippie I love sugar snap peas!!! Yummmm. 21h
Amiable I like snow peas, but my tongue is completely and utterly unable to pronounce French words! 😄 21h
dabbe @Amiable Try this: mahnge-TOO (don't mind if I do!) 19h
dabbe The only way I can eat frozen or canned peas is in a salad with lots of dressing. 🤣 19h
willaful @Bookwormjillk I grow them too and can't wait. I eat them raw! 17h
BookmarkTavern Yum! I love sugar peas! 15h
CBee @CatLass007 wow, that is some serious dedication to peas 😂😂 10h
CBee @Amiable ha! I do okay. My husband says I pronounce German fairly well which is a major feat 😂 10h
CBee @dabbe perfect 🤩 10h
Amiable @CBee German is way easier for me — my husband jokes that I inherited the “German gargle” from my ancestors because I can pronounce those harsh sounds much better than the French ones! 😄 10h
CatLass007 More like serious dedication to no peas.😝😂😂 10h
CBee @Amiable ha! The German gargle 😂😂 I‘ll have to tell hubby this 10h
CBee @CatLass007 true. I think that was what I meant actually 😂🤪 10h
CatLass007 I figured. It‘s weird. I like split pea soup. But it has flavor and canned peas just don‘t. 9h

My belated #weirdwords entry is courtesy of the tagged book, which I haven't read but I intend to. According to Ye Olde Google: Illywhacker is “A small-time confidence-trickster or seller of trinkets.“ The con man description does seem very much of the moment.
Carey has yet to disappoint as as writer. I read Oscar & Lucinda shortly after joining Litsy & I STILL think about that book. Another fave is True History of the Kelly Gang.
@cbee

vivastory *One of my favorite signed book anecdotes is that while I was reading my copy of O&L (i Bought it on a discount shelf at HPB & it had a a movie tie-tin cover), I happened to notice that ir was signed by Carey! Someone had the nerve to take a movie tie-in cover & request an autograph (it was a good movie, but STILL) lololol I would just die of embarrassment personally lol, but again that's me 😃 (edited) 2w
CBee Such a funny word, I love it! And love your anecdote - I think I feel the same! Sort of sad that I haven‘t been to many book signings though 😂🤦‍♀️😅 2w

Did any of you know where the REAL Starbuck's logo came from? See above pic; the one on the right is what the logo was based on. Wonder if Starbucks knew that these ladies were brutal sociopaths who murder people by being attractive and singing their alluring song? Oh wait, they probably did. That's why we all are lulled into buying a $15 cup of joe! 🤣

CBee Squeeeeee I love ANYTHING mythology related!!! 2w
