Today he would become a god. His mother had told him so. The opening line may seem like something any mother would tell her son, but in the case of Serapio, his mother truly believes he will become the Crow God reborn. She blinds him,…

A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor
Just let me dust off this blog thing, I have a review for you! One of my anticipated reads released during lockdown was the follow-up to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. If you read that, of course will will be dying to know what happened to…
What's a bunny boiler? I've never heard this phrase before. It conjures up rather painful images this time of year (poor Easter Bunny) but I'm rather intrigued. 🙂
Great list. I thought about doing this one but it was so much less work to just ramble about bad guys.
The term bunny boiler came from the film Fatal Attraction (and a bunny does get boiled). It's used to describe an insane jealous woman (often the ex like in the film).
I agree, discombobulate is a lovely word! I had never heard of it before today, but it sounds nice when you say it out loud! I hadn't heard of the term 'bunny boiler' either, before I saw it here, so thanks for explaining!
Having read the list, I think it would have taken me a lot longer to write my TTT had I chosen this topic! I'm glad I didn't!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Ellie (a.k.a. Percy Jackson fan)! 😉
I've recently taken a liking to "ungent", it's such an ugly word for something soothing!
Is your definition of "seriously" supposed to have two examples of "earnest" in it? Or maybe that's just a confusing tactic that arch-nemesisess's's use…
Er well it's important to be earnest! Actually I just copied the definitions off Google.
I almost picked this list! I like discombobulated, too. Another favorite of mine is shenanigans. 🙂
Oooh, great list.
I like Boffin too. I also use seriously quite a lot although I don't think it's down to Grey's anatomy since I haven't watched it in a few years.
I would have audacity and incandescent on my list. I love those words.
Love reading lists of people's favorite words. "Disconbobulate." Excellent word. (Though I'm not terribly sure I spelled it correctly.)
Here's my post for Top Ten Tuesday, a list of the books that most intimidate me.
And I'll be part of the Easter Eggstravaganza Blog Hop Giveaway that begins tomorrow. I hope you will stop by my blog and enter my giveaways to try to win some great prizes.
Yay, a list buddy! I picked favorite words as well. I love "brackish," it's very descriptive. I've never heard "boffin," but it sounds British and vaguely nerdy/silly. Excellent choices.
Love your words list! Melancholy has always been a favorite of mine too 🙂
Nemesis is my favorite!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! =D
I do like discombobulated and hadn't heard of it before 😀
ha – 'blurb' I use that one a lot! Great topic. I love collecting words
