Follow Friday

Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Rachel at Parajunkee's View and Alison at Alison Can Read. The point is to follow as many book blog as you can and make new friends! As part of the adventure, she gives a weekly question.

Here's this week's question:

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.



A:

Hmm, I honestly cannot remember.  The books I remember needing to run to a dictionary were either the LoTR series or the books required for my college courses.  Man, I feel like such a spoilsport!  *sheepish grin*  However, check back in a few weeks.  Lolita is currently on hold for me at the library, and I have every confidence that Vladimir will have me searching for my dictionary ;)

Much love, Sinn

  2. I haven't read LOTR, but I'm sure those books have tons and tons of HUGE words! I hope you come across some word and I'd love to see it. ;)

    It would be great if you could stop by my Feature and Follow Friday post. We have have a Night Of The Purple Moon giveaway going on. Come along and participate if you like! :)

  4. It's so easy to simply look a word up on my Nook that it's hard to remember specifically which words I looked up. But recently there was a word that had me stumped. The word I had to look up was from David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas. Check it out here

  7. Hi, I'm a new follower through GFC =)
    Lolita is a good one - it really has you questioning your initial thoughts of the book.

    1. Rinn, I've wanted to read it for years! After my dad told me that he really wanted to read it and my mother forbade him, I had to know! Of course, I saw the Jeremy Irons film version when I was still a teenager. Hopefully the library will find it soon!

  8. I haven't personally read the LOTR series... But being a fan of the movies, I can only imagine the books have some crazy words in them. =D

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier, I'm following you back now <3

  9. I had a really difficult time coming up for an answer for today's question, too. I sort of cheated, too. I didn't actually look this word up. It is just an interesting word I wanted to share.

    I have to say this Friday Hop is turning into a nice vocab lesson! I like it :)

    Here's my Friday Hop

  10. I almost didn't have an answer either til I reached one page in the book I was reading when I made my post then I was like this is perfect.

    Have a great weekend
