YAY, it’s Friday!!
Wow, I am so amazed to be this week’s featured blog! I am happy-dancing right now, let me tell you 🙂
Of course, because I am featured, you get to read my little interview before we get to all the meaty stuff. Here are the questions I’ve been asked :
When did you start blogging?
I am still new (in my mind at least) as I only started blogging in June of this year.
What is your favorite part of book blogging?
It’s getting to know new bloggers, I have discovered so many new book-blogs these past few months, and I love reading other people’s point of view on books I have already read. It has also made my already convoluted TBR list bigger. There are so many passionate bloggers out there who make me want to read even more books that I usually read.
What is your favorite book(s)?
My favorite books that I’ve read this year are Chasing Magic, Stormdancer, The Iron Prince and Anna Dressed in Blood.
What has been the best thing that has happened to you because of book blogging?
One is finding so many new friends. Another is that I actually sometimes get ARC’s now. I love being able to read books before every other reader gets their hands on them.
Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs!
What sets this Hop apart from others, is that they Feature. Each week they will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Just remember it is required, if you participate, to follow both their Features and you must follow the hosts (Parajunkee & Alison Can Read) as a courtesy. How do you follow someone? Well, if you have a preference, state it in your #FF post. A lot of blogs are transitioning to WordPress in which we do not have the luxury of GFC, so an RSS subscription is appreciated or if you choose an email subscription. If you don’t have GFC please state in your post how you would like to be followed.
As you can imagine, this is a great way to get to know your fellow bloggers better, as well as a way to find new blogs, and be seen by more people yourself.
Now, on to this week’s question that’s for all of us :
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.
The last biggest word I’ve seen used in a book was in a non-fiction work I had to read for an essay for one of my English literature classes, the title of the book is : ‘Epistolary Ficiton in Europe 1500-1850’ by Thomas O. Beebee, the word is : Hermeneutic (pronunciation : /hɜːmɪˈnjuːtɪk/ )
Etymology: < Greek ἑρμηνευτικός, < ἑρμηνευτής : see hermeneut n.
Belonging to or concerned with interpretation; esp. as distinguished from exegesis or practical exposition. (from oed online) I couldn’t exactly use a quote in my essay if I wasn’t sure of the meaning, and some of the stuff used to explain literature is just too much sometimes. I’m glad I don’t usually have to look up words when I read fiction!
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend 🙂
Nice word . . . but I think the title kind of set you up for a difficult read. 🙂

I love how definitions always include the Greek. Like maybe we don’t know this word in English, but surely the Greek will clear things right up 😉
Congrats on the feature! I’m a new follower. Here’s my FF!
LOL, it’s true! And really funny, I wonder if that’s why we sometimes say ‘it’s all Greek to me’?

I think the title has a big enough word in it that I know I would probably be using the dictionary frequently. :o)
yeah, I know, but my teacher had first told us about epistolary fiction and the likes – that’s why I didn’t need a dictionary for that… Thanks for stopping by.

@_@ I think the definition did little to clarify the word for me! Yeah, I don’t see nearly as many unfamiliar words in fiction as I do in non-fiction (I’ve been tutoring anatomy lately, which is rife with words I don’t know).

yeah, the non-fiction books are sometimes a lot harder to understand. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
