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?

    James Luceno, Darth Paleguis, and the word genuflected. I’m not sure if I ever heard it before this book, but it sounds so fancy I kind of want to incorporate it into my speech, lol.
