#L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge September 16, 2020, Book with the most words I had to look up! Oh this is a tough one. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie.
I have thought and thought until I think my brain short circuited. I have always been a voracious reader of all genres, except horror (gives me nightmares). During my childhood, my mother and I played a game with the dictionary in an effort to stump each other as to words meanings. Over the years, we nearly wore out a huge Webster’s Dictionary (I still have it). Yes I concede I was a strange child. LOL So rarely do I come across words I don’t know. A few science fiction early on gave me fits, but not any more. So this is going to be a short post. Finally I decided it would have to be SHADOW OF NIGHT, by Deborah Harkness. It’s the second book in the Tree of Life series. set in a historical time period that I am unfamiliar with (Elizabethan England) so some words and phrases were strange to me. I loved the book and learned a lot about England in the 1590’s. I wouldn’t like to have lived during that time. LOL
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom preparing promo on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC September 28, 2020 . Stay tuned! Chocolate Raspberry Magic release date been extended until April 2021.

A sneak peek at Hidden Gypsy Magic:
Discover the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic!
The Salem Wildlife Sanctuary is Gwen Taylor’s life work. Her Irish Gypsy heritage provides a hidden talent she uses to help the creatures under her care. But even her magical skills can’t help new rescues in dire need of veterinary care.
The opportunity of signing on as the vet for Gwen’s sanctuary dropped into Brock Scutter’s lap after he expanded his practice to include wildlife. The personal attraction he and Gwen experience is undeniable the more their professional and personal lives collide.
Touring the only “non-haunted” house in Salem they both feel a spark of magic. A trip to his family’s cabin uncovers a heritage he didn’t know existed. If they want a future together, it means facing the consequences of awakening hidden Gypsy magic and a race against the clock to correct past wrongs.
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, September 23, 2020, can you believe it? Autumn is nearly here. Anyway next week’s blogging challenge topic is favorite things to do in the autumn. That will be easy. Autumn is my favorite time of year! Love Halloween! Until then have fun, stay safe, and never let the world get you down!

That game with your mother sounds like a lot of fun. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/09/wc-091620.html
IT was a lot of fun, fond memories! Thanks for stopping in.
That’s a great game to play with your mom! Reminds me a little of when I’d play Scrabble with my mom and grandmother. I was young, so I’d have a dictionary to try to come up with words to play. It’s still one of my favorite games.
I loved Scrabble! Thanks for popping in Tricia!
The boys like to play scrabble so they can beat me. Which they usually do, even though they think I make up the words. Lol! Great memory!
Oh, fun! My family has a thing with etymologies; periodically we’ll get to wondering where some word comes from, and we’ll go look it up. (This has been going on ever since my childhood, and here in the plague-ridden world of 2020 we just periodically call each other up and say things like, “So I looked up ‘suffrage’ today. It goes straight back to Latin, and it’s from a word that was used for voting or petitioning tablets. Did you know it can also refer to a particular kind of prayer?”
My answer is here.
