Attention All Logophiles and Bibliophiles!
7th Jul 2020
Logophiles will adore the Little Book of Lost Words, a supremely cheeky and hilarious book of expressions plucked out of history. Who among us hasn't gotten the collywobbles (stomach pain from nervous anxiety) before a big meeting? When you're watching the news, do you get upset at all of the snollygosters (dishonest politicians) and their tortiloquy (immoral or dishonest speech)? Before quarantine, did you celebrate your inner gongoozler (a nonparticipating spectator), watching the shenanigans at your favorite neighborhood watering hole? Fall in love with these fun, useful terms and pepper them into your everyday vocabulary for a bit of extra pizzazz!
Other Wordly is a gorgeous book full of terms from around the world that connect experiences and feelings for things you may not have even known how to describe. Words like komorebi (a Japanese noun meaning the sunlight that filters through the leaves of the trees) or mamihlaptinatapai (the look shared by two people who have reached an unspoken understanding) are expressions that are sure to inspire a feeling of connection and wonder.
For the bibliophiles, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf is a fun book of comics that explores the life of bookworms and scribes. These funny comics cover everything from writer's block, bookshelf organization, how to be a literary recluse, and everything in-between.
