Bette I read Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon last year which is based on Ballard. It was very well done; Martha was a remarkable person. 9h

pickA fascinating book with a sense of humor! I love linguistic history and this book really delved deep. I learned all kinds of fascinating nuggets. For example, did you know that the “hus” in “husband” and the “house” in “housewife” come from the same thing?! The author did share some opinions that I side-eyed as on the border of TERFy. Note: the title is a little misleading; this book is very specifically about English.
so-soIt‘s more like a textbook than what I‘m used to with non-fiction but still some really interesting history nonetheless.
pick10/10.
Can someone tell Traister to publish an updated edition? I really want her take on the country six years later. Maybe she‘ll wait for the mid term elections?
