Sonnet 130. Extraordinary. #ASonnetADay

I treated myself.

This weekend, I’ve downloaded Virginia Woolf’s Orlando to read along with some members of my year 10 class, for our next Cakes and Classics book group.

I’ve been reading Chapter One of Orlando, by Virginia Woolf. So far, I’m noticing that the descriptions of the main characters are both beautiful and androgynous.

I use both my tablet and printed books. I love to read (and own) a real book, but it is easier to purchase books electronically (which can also be a dangerous thing ☠️). mentalfloss.com/article/554845…

It’s World Dictionary Day! To mark the occasion, here’s an A to Z thread of Haggard Hawks 🦅📚 Words | Language | Etymology facts about the 26 letters of our alphabet... 🧵

Word of the day is ‘flarnecking’ (19th century): vulgar flaunting and shameless ostentation. (Also, my book ‘Word Perfect’ is launched today with a new cover and fancy red endpapers, should it take your fancy.)

This seems like a sensible and achievable list to me.
