Q: What is the BIGGEST word you’ve seen used in a book lately – that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition & book too.
....Wow, honestly I don't think that's happened to me in a while. I've been reading a lot of YA novels lately and it seems like the words being used are getting smaller and smaller haha.

I think a lot of people are taking the whole 'small words' or 'simple words' thing a little too far lately haha :) Thanks for the follow!
DeleteI agree. Had to go back to historical novels for words I didn't know.
ReplyDeleteNew follower via RSS. My F&F
Haha yeah, that would be a good place to find some, I don't read read historical novels, but I should LOL thanks for the follow! :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by my FF post earlier.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there really aren't that many 'big words' in contemporary literature - which is good in some ways, and a little sad in others. I know that reading has expanded my vocabulary, I would like the same to be true for my children.
I am following back via Linky and GFC.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Lexxie,
DeleteI totally agree haha.
Thanks for the follow! :)
I totally agree! I was thinking the same thing, since I read mostly YA books :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks for following back! :)
DeleteHopping through. Usually with YA books I don't need to look words up either.
ReplyDeleteMy Hop
Exactly, they aren't very high reaching haha :)
DeleteI haven't come across any words lately that have been troubling either! Been a mix of words too! YA is usually easier though! :D

ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteThanks for following and yeah, YA books don't have a lot of big vocab haha :)
Too bad YA novels are dumbed-down, hey? On the other hand, I suppose they're that way to sell to YA. ^^;
ReplyDeleteNew follower, returning the favor. :)
I don't think all of them are dumbed down, but yeah a lot are haha. I would love to follow you back, any chance you can send me your link? You didn't leave it. :)
Delete-Cori
LOL you are so right about the "small words" thing. I think that books are getting more and more plot based instead of focusing on the writing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! New follower :) Nice layout by the way!
I agree! They are lol. Thank you for the follow. :)
DeleteThanks so much! Haha we're actually in the process of changing things up! :)
I have too until just recently with the book I just finished and it fit perfectly with this week's FF
ReplyDeleteMy FF
