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?

    He also had characters tasting blood like copper

    Almost forgot about this one. To his credit, whenever he used this line I imagined tasting a penny.
