I’m currently reading The Duke and I and the author is constantly using the word “acerbic”. I had never heard of the word before now and had to google the definition. The word has shown up so much that I’m tempted to go through the book and count its appearances lol.

Have you noticed any authors having favorite words that they use page after page?

    See, I noticed “clamber” in that book. That main character clambers freaking everywhere. She does not get in or out of a car. She does not sit down or get up. She. Clambers.
