There have been fewer new words this month. I haven't read a book set in any exotic location, and that helps. Take some guesses, or show me up, whichever! These are words that are either brand new to me or rediscovered (my personal rule is that if I can't define it, I have to look it up).
I'm currently reading Bridge of Sighs which I think might endure to become the best book of 2013.

Loved the free short story!! Did not even have a hint of what was to come until the walk out at the end. very clever.
ReplyDeletewell give that fish a tissue to cover his fichu. Maybe he could hook up with Chorine the local prostitute
ReplyDeleteThe only one I knew was chlorine. I'm sorry there will be no humorous interpretation of these words this month. I'm just not up to it yet.
