Thanks to the lovely book, Mythos, and to the even lovelier Stephen Fry for writing it, this is my #weirdwords pick for today! Link to the mythological origin/story: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycaon_(king_of_Arcadia)
Enjoy! #weirdwordwednesday

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

TheSpineView I love this word! 1w
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! 🤩 1w
Amiable Just can‘t do it! 😬 Although your experience is absolutely lovely, @lil1inblue ! (edited) 1w
BookmarkTavern I love writing in my books! 😅😅😅 Seeing my different notes in books I reread regularly, like Dracula, are so much fun! 1w
CBee @Bookwomble you just used another wonderful word - mellifluous!! 1w
CBee @lil1inblue that‘s so lovely ♥️♥️ 1w
CBee @dabbe post-it notes are the bomb. Couldn‘t live without em! 1w
CBee @BookmarkTavern that‘s cool! I don‘t know why it‘s such a weird thing for me 🤷‍♀️ 1w

Well, I‘m stoked I was almost finished with this when the election disaster happened, because it‘s completely banana pants and batshit crazy. I definitely needed the escape! @5feet.of.fury you were right, absolutely bonkers 😳🫢😂

5feet.of.fury The mom in the flashbacks/past was driving me nuts! But once Nina started showing up at “Dylan‘s” & all that 😬😬😬😬 it all got so crazy. 2w

OriginalCyn620 So accurate though. Feel the same. 2w
JenReadsAlot Same 2w
DeeLew Unfortunately, I am feeling all of those things and more. 🙁 2w
CBee @DeeLew oh yes. I couldn‘t fit all of the words in the box to describe how I‘m feeling 😵‍💫 Plus a few choice words I probably shouldn‘t post 😂🫢 2w
ncsufoxes Same 2w
Megabooks Yup. I am bereft. 2w
DeeLew @CBee I am trying to formulate a thoughtful post for Facebook but all of the things I want to say would probably get unfriended and/or banned 😂😞 2w
CBee @DeeLew I don‘t do Facebook - I think I stopped using it right after he was elected the first time. It‘s just too toxic 😐 2w
Amiable I saw a post that said, “It's now painfully obvious that racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia and hate are not deal-breakers for millions of Americans if a gallon of milk costs too much.“ 2w
CBee @Amiable yep. The ones who voted for him aren‘t considering the bigger picture. It‘s just, can I pay less at the grocery store? Twisted priorities. 2w
Deblovestoread Same. I feel like I‘ve jumped into an alternate universe. This can‘t possibly be the world I meant to live in. Just devastated 2w
Hooked_on_books Right there with you. Pretty sure I‘ll be in shock for a while. 2w
The_Penniless_Author @CBee The worst part is, nothing he's going to do will make the least bit of difference to the price of groceries or anything else. It's bad enough to sell out others' civil rights for a quick buck, but doing it for nothing but a bunch of empty promises is beyond the pale. 2w
BarbaraBB My heart breaks again reading the comments above 💔💙 (edited) 2w
Amiable @The_Penniless_Author I said the exact same thing to my sister, who supports him: Don't ever think for a second that he does anything intended to help you. He's a grifter who is in this for his own interests (now, it's to stay out of prison). If something he does happens to trickle down to you as a positive benefit, it's purely a fluke. Because he and his ilk certainly do not give a rat's a$$ about anybody else. 2w
Zuhkeeyah @Amiable 👏🏾👏🏾 Exactly. 2w
CarolynM Hugs 2w
CBee @The_Penniless_Author I keep telling myself that half the country must be completely brainwashed. Or abducted by aliens and replaced with his minions. I will never, ever understand how he gets so much support. 2w
CBee @Amiable exactly. Nothing is done for anyone else but him. 2w
Suet624 @CBee believe it or not a Trump voter in our neighborhood expressed his delight, and then started talking about how aliens were first on the planet, and implanted our souls. My friend,and I were so puzzled as well as bereft. 2w
CBee @Suet624 ummmmm wow. I‘m not sure I‘d know what to say to that 😳😳😳 2w
JudeCC 😞 Devastated and disappointed of our country. 💔🌈 2w

A dark, heavy, but beautiful and brilliant read. I‘m so amazed (again, as I‘ve now read all of her books) at how Rene Denfeld manages to write so poignantly about such trauma. She shines a light on the forgotten in every one of her books. Highly recommend but beware, trigger warnings abound. #readyourkindle

CatLass007 My Mom was a weather geek. She even took some meteorology classes in college. Growing up she would listen to the weather reports of three different radio stations just to make sure that we‘d know what outerwear to put on when we left for school. When the Weather Channel was launched she was in hog heaven. But I‘m pretty sure she never heard this particular term because she would have used it often and well. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. 1mo

Well, this was creepy! Haven‘t been as focused on reading, but if I could have, I would‘ve flown through it. Shades of Notes on an Execution (though nowhere near as good as that one), we hear from three women affected by an “Everyman” sort of guy who is actually a serial killer. Good stuff. #readyourkindle

Jesus Christ on toast, faces in clouds, the list goes on and on! And of course, thanks to Bones (still binging and loving), I now know there is a word for this phenomenon 🤓 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

TheSpineView Cool word 😎 2mo
CBee @Amiable it very well could be and I might just start using it now 😂😂 I tend to make up my own anyway 🤓 2mo
CatLass007 Great word! 2mo
Cuilin @Amiable I thought that too because in Ireland, we say Christ on a bike!!!! 😆 2mo
BookmarkTavern Like finding shapes in clouds! How cool! 2mo
TheBookHippie Oh!!! Also my BFF is from Ireland and says Christ on a bike often so I read it as that 🤣😂😅🤪 @Cuilin 2mo
Amiable @Cuilin That‘s so funny because my grandfather used to say “Jesus Christ on a bicycle” and his parents were from Ireland!! I had no idea it was an Irish thing! 😄 2mo
dabbe 🤩🤩🤩 2mo
CBee @BookmarkTavern yes! 😊 2mo
CBee @TheBookHippie @Cuilin @Amiable it‘s related to the pareidolia of Jesus‘s face on a piece of toast. On the show (Bones) it was WAY grosser 🫢 😬 I did just read “Jesus toast” when I looked for the example and now I‘m 😂😂 (edited) 2mo
TheBookHippie @CBee 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2mo
Amiable @CBee @cuilin This reminds me of the time one morning years ago when I came downstairs to find a baggie on the kitchen counter with a peanut inside and a note from my youngest son that said, “Do not eat this. It looks like Elvis.” 😄 (edited) 2mo
CBee @Amiable omg 😂😂😂😂 That‘s amazing - sounds like something my 12 year old would do! 2mo
Cuilin @Amiable hilarious 🤣 2mo
Amiable @CBee @Cuilin Yeah, we still joke about the Elvis nut. 😄 And it kickstarted the conversation—why is it that we only ever see Jesus or Elvis or Mary Magdalene in toast or on trees? Why doesn‘t anyone see … I don‘t know, Fonzie? Or Alex Trebek? It‘s weird. 😀 (edited) 2mo
CBee @Amiable I love that it started that conversation. Equality in pareidolia 😂😂 2mo
Suet624 Off topic, but I‘ve never watched Bones. Your thoughts on the show? 1mo
CBee @Suet624 oh my gosh, it‘s so good. It can be a bit much if you‘re squeamish, but the banter between the main characters is the BEST. It‘s very nerdy, very science-y. The main character is a forensic anthropologist and is based on real life author Kathy Reichs. Highly recommend it 🦴 😊 1mo
Suet624 Okay, on the second episode of season one now. 🙂 1mo
CBee @Suet624 ooo! What do you think so far? 1mo
Suet624 Very small sample size. Give me another couple of episodes. But so far so good. 1mo
Suet624 How far into it are you? 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 great! Glad you found one 😊 2mo
CBee @AmyG I sort of want to read that, but King freaks me out 😂😂 2mo
CBee @youneverarrived great timing 😊 2mo
CBee @julieclair awesome 🤩 2mo
CatLass007 @julieclair Thanks! I‘ve never used StoryGraph before. I‘m not sure if I want to start using another new app. 2mo
CatLass007 @julieclair @CBee And it‘s free on Audible. I‘ve listened to a couple of other series by this author and I like her quirky sense of humor. She also does great things showing friendship and found family in so many ways. I‘m particularly fond of the Four Drag Queens of the Apocalypse in her Good to the Last Death series. 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 love that title - anything with drag queens is awesome 👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
julieclair @CatLass007 Free on Audible is always a plus! 😀 2mo
Ruthiella Nancy Drew to the rescue ! 😆 This month‘s #NancyDrewBR is 2mo
CBee @Ruthiella she does always come to the rescue 😊😂 2mo
OriginalCyn620 I decided to read, rather listen, to this one because I do own the audiobook, and it‘s been several years since I read the print version. It‘s about 130 pages in print, plus, it fits in nicely with this month‘s spooky reads! 2mo
CBee @OriginalCyn620 good choice 👏🏻👏🏻 2mo
CatLass007 I‘ve changed my mind about what book I‘m pulling from my TBR. 1mo
CBee @CatLass007 sounds like a plan 👍🏻 1mo
CatLass007 The reason main reason I decided to change is because the same woman narrates As the Underworld Turns (Good to the Last Demon, Book 1) also narrates the series Good to the Last Death. Both are about 40 year old women trying to start over and are told in the first person. I‘ve listened to the entire series that‘s available and I‘m not hearing Cecile, the protagonist for this new series, I‘m still hearing Daisy from the first series I listened to. 1mo
CBee @CatLass007 that makes sense! 1mo
CatLass007 And I‘m now I‘m switching back to As the Underworld Turns. 1mo
CatLass007 Oooh! Dolly Parton, Songteller. Perfect. 1mo
CBee @CatLass007 I pick Dolly!! 1mo
CatLass007 Dolly is free on Audible until 10/25, so I pick Dolly too. But I‘ll get back to the other one soon. 1mo

CatLass007 I‘m sure I‘ve read this word before but I‘m not sure when or where. It‘s another cool word and definition. Thanks for sharing these every week.❤️ 2mo
TheSpineView Another great word!! 2mo
IndoorDame One of my all time favorite words 💜 2mo
See All 21 Comments
CBee @CatLass007 you‘re welcome! I‘ve come across some really cool ones lately 😊 2mo
CBee @IndoorDame yay! It‘s a fantastic word 😊 2mo
slategreyskies @CatLass007 the first time I came across this word was in A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. Ashmole 782 was a palimpsest. So, if you‘ve read that book, that could be where you‘re remembering this word from. 2mo
CatLass007 @slategreyskies I haven‘t read it yet, although I do own it. I may never remember exactly where I first read the word, but it‘s not really a big deal. I have a tendency, especially listening to audiobooks, when I encounter a new word to just infer the definition from the manner in which the word is used rather than take the time to look up the actual definition. I‘m so glad @CBee does the work for me, although I am getting better at it. 2mo
BookmarkTavern Oh this is one of my favorite words! 💕💕💕💕 2mo
peanutnine I love this word! It always gives me a feeling of nostalgia 💖 2mo
dabbe Oh, no! I\'m off the list! Can I jump back on? 😅 2mo
CBee @dabbe I‘m just having a chance to check Litsy and realized I forgot to tag you - that was just a total goof on my part! Sorry!! 2mo
CBee @CatLass007 ♥️♥️♥️ 2mo
dabbe @CBee No worries; I just wanted to make sure I was still in the loop! 🧡🍁🧡 2mo
CBee @dabbe you‘re definitely still in the loop! ♥️ 2mo
mandarchy Speaking of being in the loop, but off topic: I stopped getting notifications from Litsy and I've tried everything except deleting it and reinstalling it. Getting it on this phone was such a chore, I'm not sure I'm willing to go that far. But have any of you seen a convo about this anywhere? 2mo
CBee @mandarchy do you have an Android or iPhone? A friend who has an Android has had issues similar to yours. I‘d suggest submitting a help ticket as I know you aren‘t the only one! 2mo
mandarchy Android. Thanks! I've been ignoring it and maybe a help ticket will be the thing. 2mo
CBee @mandarchy hopefully they can figure it out! 2mo
mandarchy @CBee I just opened Litsy and I had 204 notifications! None of them made my phone ding. I've never seen so many! It's weird 2mo
CBee @mandarchy that‘s crazy!! Did you send a help request? 2mo
mandarchy I did, I got the 204 notifications and then nothing else. I just need to check in more often. 2mo

Finally read this, and I‘m overwhelmed. Sadness and anger for what they went through, for the death, for the politicians who did nothing, for the hate. So many good quotes but I‘ll share just one here:
“It‘s always a matter, isn‘t it, of waiting for the world to come unraveled? When things hold together, it‘s always only temporary.” #TBRtarot #readyourkindle

Okay #weirdwords nerds, this is interesting! I‘ve been saying a few of these wrong - but the fact that some people say “from the gecko” makes me giggle 😂 Check it out: Bad News: You've Been Saying These 18 Words And Phrases Wrong For Your Entire Life https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewziegler/malapropism-eggcorn-words-phrases

ChaoticMissAdventures I am now trying to figure out how and why people pronounce this word with an e &/o g... I keep saying acorn and I don't have any of that 😂 2mo
IndoorDame Neat! I definitely say some of them wrong too. But hysterical that eggcorn is apparently the most common one and I‘ve never heard anyone say it 😂 (edited) 2mo

BkClubCare @ChaoticMissAdventures - me, too. I don‘t think I‘ve ever heard anyone say eggcorn. 🤔 2mo
monkeygirlsmama I have NEVER heard of this term before. 🤣 And I've NEVER heard anyone pronounce A-CORN as EGG-CORN. 🤔😝 2mo
TheSpineView That was fun! "Champ at the bit" tripped me up. 2mo
thebacklistbook Hahaha! This often leads to popular misspellings being adopted into dictionaries. Like how chique was already adopted into english with its original French spelling then someone decided it needed to be spelled chic at some point. I've heard many people say the French spelling as sheekwa rather than sheek. 2mo
thebacklistbook Also have seen some with dictaphone software taken down by this. The algorithm feeds it's best guess for what it "heard". 2mo
CBee @monkeygirlsmama it‘s baffling 😂 2mo
CBee @TheSpineView I always thought it was “jerry-rigged” but it‘s “jury-rigged!” 2mo
CBee @thebacklistbook so interesting!! 2mo
Deblovestoread Fun! I know it‘s “duct” but I still say “duck”. And I do always ask for ice tea. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2mo
CBee @Deblovestoread I do too 😂😂 Here in the south we don‘t even say iced tea, we just say sweet or unsweetened because iced tea is just a given 😂 2mo
BookmarkTavern That‘s so cool! I didn‘t know that! 2mo
dabbe @CBee Same here! I'm in 😱! 2mo
thebacklistbook @Deblovestoread there is a brand of duct tape called Duck tape they also make painters tape, etc. 2mo

TheBookHippie @Deblovestoread I say ice and duck too 😂😂😂 2mo
Daisey That was a fun and interesting quiz. Thanks for sharing! 2mo
CBee @TheBookHippie I see it now 😂 But I could‘ve sworn it was “jerry” 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Aaaand I‘ve always said “for all intensive purposes” and that‘s wrong! 2mo
CBee @Daisey you‘re welcome! 2mo

These words have absolutely nothing in common except, they‘re weird 😂 Plus, apparently “emunction” is now obsolete (despite describing my behavior today due to allergies 🤧).

CBee @TheBookHippie I can‘t find Scott (vivastory) again 🤷‍♀️ I emailed him! Have you heard anything? 2mo
IndoorDame I only recently noticed something described as an uncountable noun for the first time, and I guess it‘s self explanatory, but since I have no formal background in grammar I found reading about it and all the rules and exceptions attached to it fascinating! 2mo

I‘m so drawn to books set in remote locations, where the setting almost ends up being its own character. This was no exception! What a beautifully written book. Quiet, but gripping at times, a little mystery thrown in, but mainly asks the question: how do you keep going when your entire family is ripped away? “You didn‘t do anything wrong, Tommy. You only survived.” I loved this.

BarbaraBB I loved this so much! 2mo

Entry Island | Peter May
post image
Pickpick

My first Peter May, but it won‘t be my last! This was excellent and I highly recommend. Realized after I finished that it fits for #TBRtarot as well - based on true events (at least partly), as much of it is set during the Highland Clearances in the 19th century (a horrible part of history that I didn‘t know much about). Great murder mystery but so much more.
