One of my favorite parts of reading is constantly learning new words. I often make note of them then look them up either at the time of reading, or later that same day.
After a while I started thinking, why not compile them?
Lately, I have found myself looking up its definition straight away on my eReader and highlight the word. When I finish the book, I put the list together.
These are words that I …
- Never heard before
- Words I have heard and possess only a vague understanding of their meaning based on the context in which they’ve been written and
- The most frustrating of the lot – the words I know I know the meaning of until I actually look them up only to realize I was wrong all along
You will find them here and at the bottom of the blog book review I post.
