Word of the Week: Dubious

The last few days have had me all in a tizzle over dubious.

Word of the Week: An Intro

Alright, internet, I'm going to do a new thing! For your enjoyment (and to keep me posting regularly), Word of the Week is going to become a regular feature. I'll whip out a particular word that's been tickling my fancy, give you a short introduction to its definition, etymology, and any interesting trivia surrounding it, and then write a little bit about why it's my word of the week. 

Brace yourselves!

Divination

What makes people choose their next reading materials? Some go strictly by genre - adventure, romance, Young Adult; others choose only certain authors or read only on a specific subject (for example, I used to read anything I could get my hands on about the Tudors: "diaries," nonfiction, rambling fantastical novels). But are their favorite books all in the same category?

For the Love of Words

If you've spent any time glancing around at this blog, you may have spotted the quotes page. I've got quite a fondness for quotes and have spent years amassing a collection of them - scribbled into notebooks, tacked to bulletin boards, stashed away on index cards, lining my mirror on Post-it notes.
