Well apparently "rizz" (as in "Charisma" ) is the word that's all the rage. I also love that "liminal" is not related to "limn," which has to do with outlining & drawing. Just *try* to get through a phd program in literature without being liminal all over the damn place. BUT I digress: A resolution: meeting one's soulmate, or perhaps swiping whichever way it is that one swipes with a match... think again: THE SOULMATE by Sally Hepworth takes soulmates in a whole new direction....
From Caitlin*: I love that you included the graph about the popularity of "liminal space," you beautiful word nerd.
Now that I've openly talked about trying to get back into the swing of writing in 2024, you KNOW I'm not about to resolve to go on a writing retreat based on DEEPEST LAKE. (And I haven't read it, but I suspect THE WRITING RETREAT also doesn't make a strong case for going on one...)

Thank you so much for mentioning Blackout!! And to prove what a nonjudgmental companion I am, I fell off dry January on the 3rd. xo
Can't wait to add the rest to the TBR!
❤️❤️❤️
Since one resolution is to write more, let’s go with the King novella Secret Window, Secret Garden 😎
Thank you for the rec!
oooooo (have only seen the movie tbh)

Thank you for the rec…and the slang!!! I’ve never heard of “rizz”!

But how do you FEEL about liminal space, Caitlin? Or "around" as the replacement for "about" Or any of the other recent word trends???
I’m too distraught about all the youth slang I can’t keep up with
