The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities is a unique interesting book. I enjoyed the different words and meanings. I learned some great new words that no one will have a clue about.

The Cabinet of Linguistic Curiosities is an entertaining and amusing look at the peculiarities of the English language. Each day of the year an obscure word is provided along with its definition and etymology. For example: Choreomania, a mania for dancing or Hubbleshow, a noisy uproar, a riot. The entries are well-written and only a page each so you can quickly catch up on your daily word. The author also provides a select bibliography and index for easy reference. This book is just a lot of fun! It’s filled with conversation starters and a must have for anyone interested in linguistics!

Full disclosure- An ARC of this book was provided via NetGalley in return for this review.

I have this vague obsession with words. Spelling, different usages, sounds alike, and where they originate. I have insomnia, and often try to lull myself to sleep with language.
So, I did think that I would enjoy this book. I'm truth? Eh? Well, it's been a bit of a slog. I always try to give a book up to 30%. This? Nope. I don't believe I made it that far. I've struggled every step of the way. So, I'm sorry, but I quit. Other's may enjoy this, but I most assuredly did not. As always, my thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review.
