Favorite MB book so far!

Really loved this Mary Balogh story, it’s been my favorite so far. It hooks you right at the beginning and there aren’t many lags throughout the length of the tale.

All of London is abuzz over the imminent arrival of Wulfric Bedwyn, the reclusive, cold-as-ice Duke of Bewcastle, at the most glittering social event of the season. Some whisper of a tragic love affair. Others say he is so aloof and passionless that not even the greatest beauty could capture his attention. But on this dazzling afternoon, one woman did catch the duke's eye - and she was the only female in the room who wasn't even trying.

Best book of the bedwyn series
Revisado: 08-31-22
This was definitely my favorite book in the bedwyn series. I feel like the character development for wolf was very thorough unlike some of the other characters in prior books in this series.

Absquatulate. Flumadiddle. Gongoozler. Squintifego. If you love words, you know the strange byways of memory or reverie that stumbling across a certain word or phrase will take you down. Chances are, you have never encountered words as unusual as those collected in this audiobook. You'll find definitions and parts of speech for each entry. And for each word, the author has also included a quotation to show how the word can be used in context. Amaze your friends with your selcouth vocabulary and indulge your inner logophile!

Incredibly witty & humorous way to learn new words
Revisado: 07-26-14
Would you listen to The Word I'm Thinking Of again? Why?
Yes. It will take a couple runs through to really master the words, but that wouldn't be a problem because I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and short examples he used to describe the words; it was a pure stroke of genius.
What other book might you compare The Word I'm Thinking Of to and why?
I wish I could find other books like this, but I haven't been able to.
Which scene was your favorite?
The part in the book where he gives an example of the word ackamarackus, "of course i would never engage in such balderdash except when I have to conduct personal business that involves writing to some bureaucratic entity, then I turn on the ackamarackus faucet. I start my email with a salutation like 'Dear blank officer (no matter how lowly the recipient) and then compose my request or inquiry using diction and sentence structure of a honey tongued aristocrat 'may I inquiry', 'would it be acceptable', 'may I be so bold as to', 'naturally you may wonder', 'perhaps you would consider' etc. They seem to lap it up.
It made me laugh so much I love it!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
the stories that words tell
Any additional comments?
Loved this book would recommend it to anyone who is concerned with enhancing their vocabulary.
