Q: What is the BIGGEST word you've seen used in a book lately - that made you stop and look it up? Might as well leave the definition and book too.
This is kind of hard to answer. Since I"m not the type of person to check out a long word in a book I'm reading, I would most likely skip it and use context clues to find out what it means. Really, this is not a big word, but it just got me curious.
in·cu·bus/ˈiNGkyəbəs/
| Noun: |
|
I was reading Beg for Mercy by Shannon Dermott and since the word came up a lot in the book, I searched it up. LOL.
This is my first time doing this, but I find this pretty fun! ;) It's quick, fast, easy, and interesting!
If you follow me, just comment and I'll follow back! ;D
Hi! Following you back. Incubus is a very handy word to know when reading paranormal romance, as is succubus (shows up all the time in stuff like the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton).
ReplyDeleteTo answer your post on my blog, I have not read Beautiful Creatures, but am aware of the series. Being a librarian is a lot more work than people realize. But it is rewarding. :)
Not gonna lie, that word creeps me out a bit :)

I hear that word so much but for some reason, never imagined that it could mean that lol (probs because I don't read too much paranormal romance). Very cool though!

Ok I have to say, I find it HILARIOUS the difference in the two meanings of incubus. You would think that if meaning #1 was happening, you might wake up with LESS stress and anxiety....maybe.
ReplyDeleteThe word I had to look up was from David Mitchell's novel Cloud Atlas. Check it out here

Maybe it's because I read way too much horror at way too young an age, but incubus and succubus are entrenched in my vocabulary. :)

Heard this word before, a scary demon.

I'm not one to look up words while reading either. I am usually to into the story to want to step away to look up an unfamiliar word.
